[LinkedIn post] Exploring the EPR paradox
After watching a workshop by Professor Richard Feynman on quantum mechanics, I wanted to explore the EPR paradox in detail. As a result, I wrote an article discussing the topic and developed a program to simulate the results of a quantum entangled system with pre-set simulations.
The first simulations, while conceptually straightforward, it is difficult to be realized in practice and involves three Stern-Gerlach magnets as detectors. One is oriented along the z-axis, and the other two are in the zx plane with ±120° rotation. The particles in this simulation are two entangled electrons in the singlet state.
The second experiment employs an apparatus with two polarizers directing two photons to three photodetectors. One photodetector is aligned along the z-axis, while the other two are in the zx plane with 22.5° and 45° rotations.
This setup mirrors the actual apparatus used by Professor Alain Aspect, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 2022. His experiments established the violation of Bell inequalities. In this simulation, the particles are two entangled photons in the second triplet state.
