    Bell inequalities and separability of uncommon causes from the setup configuration

    , Article International Journal of Theoretical Physics ; Volume 45, Issue 11 , 2006 , Pages 2127-2135 ; 00207748 (ISSN) Fakhri, H ; Seyed Yagoobi, S. K. A ; Taqavi, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    In the present paper the integration region Λ with more than one hidden variable is attributed to a pair of particles in the Bell's thought experiment as the local causal events in their common lightcone. Moreover, the possibility of uncommon causal events influencing the spin measurement is not ignored. Then, with regard to the separability of the influence of the uncommon events from configuration of the setup, and by relying on local realism and coherency, each of the Bell's inequality versions is obtained by measuring spin in three and four different directions. © 2006 Springer Science+Business Media, Inc  

    The various versions of Bell's inequality: An alternative proof

    , Article Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and General ; Volume 38, Issue 24 , 2005 , Pages 5565-5572 ; 03054470 (ISSN) Fakhri, H ; Taqavi, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    By considering uncommon factors as spacetime events that influence the spin orientations in the EPRB thought experiment, it is intended to show that one can still introduce the correlation functions. These uncommon factors are positioned inside the common lightcone of two particles. Then, Bell inequalities are proved with the preassumptions of local realism and spin conservation law in the context of a new scenario of hidden variables. © 2005 IOP Publishing Ltd

    Common cause and contextual realization of Bell correlation

    , Article Annals of Physics ; Volume 323, Issue 2 , 2008 , Pages 432-443 ; 00034916 (ISSN) Shafiee, A ; Maleeh, R ; Golshani, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Considering the common cause principle, we construct a local-contextual hidden-variable model for the Bohm version of EPR experiment. Our proposed model can reproduce the predictions of quantum mechanics. It can be also extended to classical examples in which similar correlations may be revealed. © 2007 Elsevier Inc.

    Investigation of quantum-entanglement simulation in random-variable theories augmented by either classical communication or nonlocal effects

    Abstract
    Bell's theorem states that quantum mechanics is not a locally causal theory. This state is often interpreted as nonlocality in quantum mechanics. Toner and Bacon [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 187904 (2003)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.91.187904] have shown that a shared random-variable theory augmented by one bit of classical communication exactly simulates the Bell correlation in a singlet state. In this paper, we show that in Toner and Bacon protocol, one of the parties (Bob) can deduce another party's (Alice) measurement outputs, if she only informs Bob of one of her own outputs. Afterwards, we suggest a nonlocal version of Toner and Bacon protocol wherein classical communications is... 

    Bell's inequality and contextual information

    , Article International Journal of Quantum Information ; Volume 4, Issue 4 , 2006 , Pages 641-651 ; 02197499 (ISSN) Safinejad, F ; Shafiee, A ; Maleeh, R ; Sharif University of Technology
    2006
    Abstract
    The properties of the Shannon entropy (concavity and strong additivity) are satisfied in both classical and quantum experiments, if the context of experiment is considered appropriately. We show that these properties hold true in a classical model with the feature of being contextual, where a correlation is observed between events. Our results show that the classical example is similar to an entangled singlet state for spin-1/2 particles. But, contrary to general opinion, Icorrentgld > 1 is not a necessary and sufficient condition for violating Bell's inequality, since it has been obtained on the basis of a common cause pattern. In other words, it is possible to reconstruct the amount of... 

    An Investigation of Leggett’s Inequality

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kashefi, Maryam (Author) ; Shafiee, Afshin (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Quantum correlations are among most intriguing problems in physics. Bell’s inequality which was proved in 1964 provides with us the possibility of comparing the predictions of quantum theory with what an underlying local realistic theory may reproduce for some given observables in correlated states. The violation of Bell’s inequality in practice prohibits the existance of such underlying theories. Yet, it is not clear which of the assumption, i.e., locality or reality is responsible for explaining the experimentally verified violations. In 2003, a Nobel prizewinner A. J. Leggett proved a new inequality in which the locality assumption was not crucial. Here, we explore different aspects of... 

    Describing Measurment Apparatus by Hidden Variables in the Deduction of Bell Inequality

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Azizi, Arash (Author) ; Golshani, Mehdi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Quantum Mechanics, as the most famous physical theory was founded about 85 years ago; but still there are a lot of debates about its interpretation. In this work, we review some basic concepts of Quantum Mechanics in form of questions about uncertainty principle, measurement problem and complementarily. We also review Bell inequality which has great philosophical and recently technological results. Bell derived his inequality regardless of modeling the measuring apparatus; we show, by take a realistic model for measuring apparatus, Bell inequality would be deduced. Finally we review a mathematical language which was used to show the duality of wave and particle. Quantum... 

    Equientangled bases in arbitrary dimensions

    Abstract
    For the space of two identical systems of arbitrary dimensions, we introduce a continuous family of bases with the following properties: (i) the bases are orthonormal, (ii) in each basis, all the states have the same values of entanglement, and (iii) they continuously interpolate between the product basis and the maximally entangled basis. The states thus constructed may find applications in many areas related to the quantum information science including quantum cryptography, optimal Bell tests, and the investigation of the enhancement of channel capacity due to entanglement. © 2006 The American Physical Society  

    On the relevance of fair sampling assumption in the recent bell photonic experiments

    , Article Journal of Modern Optics ; Volume 52, Issue 10 , 2005 , Pages 1405-1414 ; 09500340 (ISSN) Shafiee, A ; Golshani, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    2005
    Abstract
    In the experimental verification of Bell's inequalities in real photonic experiments, it is generally believed that the so-called fair sampling assumption (which means that a small fraction of results provide a fair statistical sample) has an unavoidable role. Here, we want to show that the interpretation of these experiments could be feasible, if some different alternative assumptions other than the fair sampling were used. For this purpose, we derive an efficient Bell-type inequality which is a CHSH-type inequality in real experiments. Quantum mechanics violates our proposed inequality, independent of the detection-efficiency problems. © 2005 Taylor & Francis Group Ltd  

    Spatial Bell state measurement of two particles

    , Article International Journal of Quantum Information ; Volume 3, Issue 1 , 2005 , Pages 87-92 ; 02197499 (ISSN) Akhavan, O ; Rezakhani, A. T ; Golshani, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Using spatial entanglement of two particles the rate of classical information gain has been increased by a logarithmic factor depending on the dimension of Hilbert space. To study Bell state measurement (BSM) of the two particles, at first, we have defined corresponding Bell bases in a typically general form. Then, the basic position gatesare theoretically designed by side quantum channels and the usual CNOTgate. All the processes required in the BSM can be established based upon the introduced local and conditional basic gates. © World Scientific Publishing Company

    Abstract
    In the present study, the experimental analysis of a second-throat exhaust diffuser (STED) performance has been conducted for the high altitude test of a parabolic bell-type nozzle. The diffuser starting performance has been explored considering two different approaches, namely the gradual and instantaneous increase of the nozzle chamber pressure. Also, the influence of pre-evacuating the internal regions of the system on the diffuser starting performance has been studied. Numerical simulations have been carried out to have more physical insight into some test results. It is demonstrated that the non-dimensional hysteresis range in STED starting performance with a bell-type nozzle is up to 4... 

    A Survey on the Concept of Quantum Theory: Measurement Problem and A Critical Approach to Decoherence Interpretation

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Tirandaz, Arash (Author) ; Shafiee, Afshin (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Studying the puzzling aspects of quantum phenomenon is quite important subject from different points of view. It must be specially regarded through some major aspects such as: wave-particle dualty, Bell’s theorem no-go theorems, complementarity, entanglement and measurement problem. In this project, we survey subsequently the above topics with a careful attention regarding the measurement problem. One of the most relevant ways claiming to solve measurement problem is the decoherence theory. Scrutinizing the details of formalism and description basis of decoherence, we critically explain and asses the different aspects of this theory  

    A framework for prescribed-time control design via time-scale transformation

    , Article IEEE Control Systems Letters ; 2021 ; 24751456 (ISSN) Shakouri, A ; Assadian, N ; Sharif University of Technology
    Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc  2021
    Abstract
    This letter presents a unified framework for the design of prescribed-time controllers under time-varying input and state constraints for normal-form unknown nonlinear systems with uncertain input gain. The proposed approach is based on a time-domain mapping method by which any infinite-time system can be corresponded to a prescribed-time system and vice versa. It is shown that the design of a constrained nonasymptotic prescribed-time controller can be reduced to the asymptotic control design for an associated constrained infinite-time system. Faà di Bruno’s formula and Bell polynomials are used for a constructive representation of the associated infinite-time system. The presented results...

    Non-locality and Entanglement in Quantum Mechanics

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Moradi, Anoushiravan (Author) ; Golshani, Mehdi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this investigation has been tried to indagate the Bell’s inequality both theoretically and experimentally. This inequality published by John Bell in 1964 on the EPR argument. In the EPR argument they reasonably deduced that quantum mechanics with the wave function interpretation is incomplete (but proposing correct results), so we must looking for a deterministic and more fundamental and underlying theory than common quantum mechanics, the alternative theory shall contain Reality and Locality assumptions and also could produce current quantum mechanics results. Afterward, scientific probation started for finding a deterministic theory that including hidden variables, infact supplement...

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Rasooli, Alireza (Author) ; Taghizadeh Manzari, Mehrdad (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    In this research, a novel scheme for flux approximation in finite volume central schemes have been presented, evaluated and used in PARSI reservoir simulator to solve black oil equations with Trangenstein & Bell formulation with gravitational effects. Also, a numerical method, have been proposed to increase the ability of modeling of capillary phenomena to PARSI.Edward's dominant wave-capturing scheme (2005), with Harten-Hymen entropy fix (1983), has been used to solve flow equations with gravity. This scheme relies on the detection of the dominant wave in the system without recourse to characteristic decomposition and upwinding while avoiding the excessive numerical diffusion that is... 

    Are Quantum Mechanics and Special Relativity in Peaceful Coexistence?

    , M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology Kamali, Saeed (Author) ; Golshani, Mehdi (Supervisor)
    Abstract
    Quantum mechanics is very succesful in the description and prediction of the microphysical world. So nowadays very few doubt its authenticity. Nevertheless, there are some conceptual issues that are still under debate, such as action at a distance. It took a while after the introduction of the EPR paradox in 1935 until John Stewart Bell derived an inequality, using local hidden variables. This inequality was in contrast with predictions of quantum mechanics. Experiments also contradicted this inequality. This implies that there is action at distance which, in turn suggests, the violation of the special relativity. In this thesis, we consider this issue and shall see that on the one hand we... 

    Ping-pong protocol based on the orbital angular momentum of light

    , Article Journal of the Optical Society of America B: Optical Physics ; Volume 35, Issue 10 , 2018 , Pages 2348-2355 ; 07403224 (ISSN) Farman, F ; Tofighi, S ; Bahrampour, A ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    Orbital angular momentum (OAM) is one of the photon's degrees of freedom in infinite-dimensional Hilbert space. In this paper, we use this photon property to propose a modified version of the deterministic two-way quantum key distribution protocol, known as ping-pong protocol, based on the OAM of light. The advantage of the protocol is that it does not require Bell measurement for decoding the information being transmitted, which makes the protocol more flexible and feasible for practical applications. We propose an implementation setup and show how the channel capacity of the protocol can be easily increased. The security of the protocol is analyzed and the probability of detecting Eve in a... 

    Entanglement Distribution By Separable States

    , Ph.D. Dissertation Sharif University of Technology TabeBordbar, Najmeh (Author) ; Karimipour, Vahid (Supervisor) ; Memarzadeh Esfahani, Laleh (Co-Advisor)
    Abstract
    Entanglement is a type of quantum correlations which due to its unique features plays a crucial role in quantum information processing. Hence trying to find new approaches in entanglement generation, distribution and also presenting strategies to optimize these processes by considering the fragility of entanglement, is always one of the most important initial steps in many quantum information processes. In this thesis we provide a systematic method to distribute entanglement by separable states and by means of separable ancilla during the process. It is worth mentioning that having separable ancilla during the process of entanglement distribution leads to more robustness against noise to...
