Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q2 i? A simulation enforcing sine-dependence shows quantum mechanics predicts Bell inequality violation around 99% of the time with 800 photon pairs. → Vongehr 2012

q2 · i? · theoretical · r2
A numerical simulation (Supplemental Material Fig. 6, run 1000 times) of 800 entangled photon pairs enforcing the sin-squared dependence shows the Bell inequality is not violated on average only "nine times out of 1000 runs", i.e. violated about 99% of the time.
"A simulation of 800 photon pairs (Supplemental Material Fig. 6) which enforces the discussed sine-dependence, leads on average only nine times out of 1000 runs to the unlikely coincidence of N1(U) being smaller than the right hand sum."
Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Demanding anti-correlation is argued to be didactically superior to employing the CHSH inequality in the QRC — related
- Cheating hidden variables can violate Bell about 85% of the time only by sacrificing anti-correlation — related
- A classical-indeterminism modification of the QRC program fails to reproduce anti-correlation at equal angles — related
- Hidden variables that skip preparing certain pair classes violate the Bell and CHSH inequality in half of all runs — related
- An initial QRC deployment terminated artificially created pseudoscience debates on several popular web portals — related
