能看到纠缠吗?

Can one see entanglement ?

Nicolas Brunner, Cyril Branciard, Nicolas Gisin

摘要:

人眼可以检测到仅包含少量光子的光信号。我们调查的可能性,以证明纠缠与这样的生物探测器。虽然一个人不能通过简单地观察光子来检测纠缠,但我们讨论了几个观察者在贝尔型实验中证明纠缠的可能性,在贝尔型实验中,标准探测器被人眼取代。使用玩具模型的生物探测器,捕捉其主要特征,即检测阈值,我们表明,贝尔不等式可以被违反,从而证明纠缠。值得注意的是,当探测器的响应函数接近阶跃函数时,量子非定域性可以在没有任何进一步假设的情况下得到证明。为了获得更平滑的响应功能,就像人眼一样,需要进行后选择。

英文摘要:

The human eye can detect optical signals containing only a few photons. We investigate the possibility to demonstrate entanglement with such biological detectors. While one person could not detect entanglement by simply observing photons, we discuss the possibility for several observers to demonstrate entanglement in a Bell-type experiment, in which standard detectors are replaced by human eyes. Using a toy model for biological detectors that captures their main characteristic, namely a detection threshold, we show that Bell inequalities can be violated, thus demonstrating entanglement. Remarkably, when the response function of the detector is close to a step function, quantum non-locality can be demonstrated without any further assumptions. For smoother response functions, as for the human eye, post-selection is required.
