- The simplest argument to make against the quantum connection signal in my
- model is to say that local unitarity in the single-photon sub-Fock space
- requires:
-
- phi + arg<a,e,+|a,o,+> = pi/2
-
- and the receiver "fringe" term is
-
- sin(2theta)cos(phi + arg<a,e,+|a,o,+>) = 0 exactly in a unitary "screening"
- or phase-renormalization preventing "telepathy" at all costs. Does GOD
- abhor quantum connection signals? Is HE malicious after all?
-
- Of course it is not obvious that the single-photon unitarity is relevant to
- the photon-pair sub-Fock space in which arg<a,e+|a,o,+> may be anything like
- in spontaneous broken symmetry of ferromagnetic ground states - because
- the pair state norm is conserved under spin disentanglement. Thus, the
- argument from single photon superpositions is not convincing apriori.
- Let experiment decide!
