Bellbox
Darrel J. Conway
Grinnell College
Investigate the paradox that puzzled Einstein! BellBox examines the concept of Bell's inequality, one of the most important developments in quantum mechanics since the golden era of the `20s and `30s.
BellBox simulates David Mermin's famous demonstration of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen conundrum and accurately illustrates the principles behind the local hidden variable hypothesis. It shows that predictions made by quantum mechanics for correlations between spatially separated particles in a spin zero state accurately reflect measurements made in the laboratory.
Unlike the real detectors traditionally used in this type of experiment, BellBox's detectors are "perfect" and always accurately record the characteristics of the detected particles. The data can be written to a data file, summarized in tabular form, and then analyzed to see whether classical theory or quantum mechanics is correct at the atomic level. A help system is available to assist you in the interpretation of collected data. 50 pp.
