I numerically simulate and compare the entanglement of two quanta using the conventional formulation of quantum mechanics and a time-symmetric formulation that has no collapse postulate. The experimental predictions of the two formulations are identical, but the entanglement predictions are significantly different. The time-symmetric formulation reveals an experimentally testable discrepancy in the original quantum analysis of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment, suggests solutions to some parts of the nonlocality and measurement problems, fixes known time asymmetries in the conventional formulation, and answers Bell's question "How do you convert an 'and' into an 'or'?"
我使用量子力学的传统表述和一种没有坍缩假设的时间对称表述,对两个量子的纠缠进行了数值模拟和比较。这两种表述的实验预测是相同的,但纠缠预测却有显著差异。这种时间对称表述揭示了在汉伯里·布朗-特威斯实验的原始量子分析中一个可通过实验检验的差异,为非定域性和测量问题的某些部分提供了解决方案,修正了传统表述中已知的时间不对称性,并回答了贝尔的问题“如何将一个‘与’转换为一个‘或’?”
