Begging the Signalling Question: Quantum Signalling and the Dynamics of Multiparticle Systems

Kent A. Peacock, Brian S. Hepburn

Abstract

Many authors state that quantum nonlocality could not involve any controllable superluminal transmission of momentum-energy, signals, or information. We claim that most or all no-signalling proofs to date are question-begging, in that they depend upon assumptions about the locality of the measurement process that needed to be established in the first place. We analyse no-signalling arguments by Bohm and Hiley, and Shimony, which illustrate the problem in an especially striking way.

    • There's a fantastic and memorable article about this. Thankfully it is the first result on Scholar for "Mulder scully quantum"[0]. [0] https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9906036

    • Hahahaha. You're funny. Ok. So I'm doing a strawman... But you're not doing an argument from authority ? So let's be clear. Bell's theorem is not an "old thing". I mean, what serious scientist argue something like that... (Yep, that's a No true Scotsman ;-) ) I've never…
