Simulating Quantum Entanglement Experiments

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of using computer simulations to test the Bell Inequality in quantum entanglement experiments. However, it is argued that traditional computers are not efficient enough to simulate quantum effects and a quantum computer would be needed. The discussion also mentions the potential of simulating a "local realistic" view of QM with normal computers and how it could shed light on the overall concept.

Does anyone know discussions of or actual computer simulations of quantum entanglement experiments designed to test the Bell Inequality? Has anyone tried to make a computer program that would simulate a "local realistic" view of QM?

Probably not. From what i understand, Quantum effects aren't efficiently simulatable in traditional computers. We would need a Quantum Computer to simulate the Quantum world. The biggest reason being that the amount of information in even a simple quantum system is exponential with respect to the size of the system (there are too many probabilities to track).

I guess the point is that if a local realistic view of QM were correct, it COULD be simulated with normal computers, so a theorem or discussion about whether it was possible to do the latter might be a way of shedding light on the former.

In theory you could use an ultra fine audio input device, and, on a windy day, base the random seed on the dynamic audio input.

1. What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in which two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, even if they are separated by large distances.

2. How do you simulate quantum entanglement experiments?

Quantum entanglement experiments can be simulated using various tools such as quantum simulators or quantum computers. These tools allow for the manipulation and observation of entangled particles in a controlled environment.

3. What is the purpose of simulating quantum entanglement experiments?

Simulating quantum entanglement experiments allows scientists to better understand the behavior and properties of entangled particles. It also helps in the development and testing of quantum technologies, such as quantum communication and quantum computing.

4. What are the challenges of simulating quantum entanglement experiments?

One of the main challenges is the complexity of simulating entangled particles, as their behavior cannot be fully described using classical physics.
