Proposed Experiments for Detecting Contextual Hidden Variables

Konstantinos Papatryfonos Louis Vervoort

Abstrak

We propose two quantum experiments – modified Bell tests – that could detect contextual hidden variables underlying quantum mechanics. The experiments are inspired by hydrodynamic pilot-wave systems that mimic a wide range of quantum effects and exhibit a classical analog of contextuality. To justify the experiments, we show that contextual hidden variables are inevitable and ‘physics as usual’ if a unification between quantum mechanics and general relativity is possible. Accordingly, contextual theories can bypass Bell’s theorem in a way that is both local and non-conspiratorial. We end with a note on the relevance of exploratory experiments in the foundations of quantum physics.
