From paradoxes to useful quantum ef-fects . The EPR paradox, Schr odingersCat paradox and Zeno paradox have longfocussed attention on counter-intuitive fea-tures of quantum foundations: superposi-tion principle ,entanglement and measure-ment theory. These striking features are nowelevated from paradoxes to useful quan-tum effects, and account for the strikinggains of quantum computation with respectto classical computation. I survey quantumfoundational issues illuminated by the EPR

paradox and some applications of the as-
sociated non-classical features, e.g. quan-tum violations of Bell inequalities followingfrom Einsteins local reality principle and of the much more stringent inequalities follow-
ing from quantum separability or absence of quantum entanglement. The Bell-CHSH in-equalities and their multiparticle generaliza-tions bring out violation of Einstein local re-
ality principle by a factor 2( N

by certainentangled states of N particles. For quan-tum computation, the more relevant prop-erty is entanglement or its opposite, viz.

separability. Quantum separability implies
inequalities exponentially stronger than Bellinequalities for large N (S. M. Roy). Theyare violated by a factor 2 N 1 by some en-tangled states; these states are natural can-
didates to exploit in seeking improvementsover classical computation. They also enableexponentially enhanced accuracy in measur-ing physical quantities such as time , and
interaction strengths (Roy-Braunstein).

indices i can specify different particles or dif-
ferent spatial components for the same parti-cle.The time evolution is then specied uniquelyas trajectories in phase space in terms of the laws of motion (e.g. relativistic Newtonslaws for the particles and relativistic waveequations ). Classical mechanics has the fol-lowing fundamental characteristics:
Objective Reality .The phase space co-ordinates are objectiveproperties of the system independent of theirobservation.

Causality/ Determinacy .Different results (viz. phase space co-ordinates)arise from different causes (Jauchs formula-
tion of Causality).
Locality .
The phase space co-ordinates are indepen-dent of, i.e. not inuenced by, actions per-formed at a spacelike separation.

In the quantum worldview a unied descrip-
tion of waves and particles is achieved . Theparticular disposition of experimental appa-ratus can bring out the particle (photon) na-ture of electromagnetic waves (as in photo-
electric effect), or the wave nature of parti-cles (as in neutron interference experiments).The wave and particle attributes which can-not be revealed simultaneously may be called
complementary (Bohrs complementarity prin-ciple). This unication is achieved at anenormous philosophical cost, e.g. loss of causality or determinism, loss of a unied

description of the world due to its arbitrary
division into quantum object (or system) andclassical subject (or observer/apparatus), andas shown by Einstein and Bell, a consequentloss of local reality.
John Bell gave a seminar at TIFR in 1980October which brings out the surprise of quan-tum mechanics vis a vis classical mechanics
beautifully. To make it more accessible, Iquote the rst transparency of his seminarentitled, What in the world is quantum me-chanics about exactly ? :

QM is about: Wave functions , Opera-
tors H , Schr odinger Eqn,i /t = H (1)
and how to solve it. But what in the world? The wave function is not like the world:
= + (2)
would be unrecognizable. So: Statistical In-terpretation. Statistics of what? measure-
ment results.
A quantum mechanics based on the statis-tics of measurement results is fundamentally
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
12/85
ambiguous because it requires an unden-
able boundary between the quantum objectand the classical measuring apparatus. No-body knows what quantum mechanics saysexactly about any situation. For nobody
knows where the boundary really is, betweenwavy quantum system and the world of par-ticular events. This is the problem of quan-tum mechanics . It is no problem in practice-
because practice is not accurate enough-andmay be never will be. Bell considered thisfundamental drawback far more serious thanthe loss of determinism.

Einstein in 1933 [0] expressed dissatisfaction
with quantum theory being merely a set of rules about the statistics of measurement re-sults :I still believe in the possibility of giv-ing a model of reality which shall represent
events themselves and not merely the prob-ability of their occurence, and more speci-cally, I am, in fact, rather rmly convincedthat the essentially statistical character of contemporary quantum theory is solely tobe ascribed to the fact that this (theory)operates with an incomplete description of physical systems .

There have been attempts to dene con-
sistent histories in quantum mechanics of open systems 1 . Apart from detailed featuresfound unattractive by some 2 , there is thebasic proposition by the authors themselves
that only very special sets of histories areconsistent, and only these can be assignedprobabilities. For example, in a double slitinterference experiment we cannot assign aprobability that the particle reached a regionof the screen having earlier passed throughslit 1 (except in the case of vanishing inter-ference).

Lack of Causality in Ordinary
Quantum Mechanics . One of the deni-tions of causality (e.g. that advocated byJauch) is that Different results should havedifferent causes. Consider a quantum su-perposition
|z+ +
|z
for a spin-1/2 par-
ticle, where |z+ and |z are eigenstates of z with eigenvalues +1 and -1 respectively.When the same state is prepared repeatedlyand passed through a Stern-Gerlach appara-
tus to measure z ,
|z+ + |z STERN GERLACH (3)
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
20/85
quantum mechanics cannot predict whether
the result + or the result will occur ina given trial; it merely says that a fraction| |2 of the particles ends up at the detec-tor corresponding to z = +1, and a frac-
tion | |2
goes to the detector correspondingto z = 1. Thus different results (goingto one detector or the other) arise from ex-actly the same cause (the same initial state).Of course this lack of causality might be re-stored in a theory in which the wave functionis not a complete description of the state of the system (ref. Einstein quote).

Schr odingers Cat Paradox . Due to the
linearity of the Schr odinger eqn, the jointstate of the particle and the detectors D+ , D is transformed as,
(
|z+ +
|z
) D + D
|z+ D+ D+ |z D + D , (4)which is a superposition of macroscopicallydifferent states D+ D and D+ D with Ddenoting excited states of the detectors.(Schr odingers Cat Paradox: if a cat locatedat D+ is killed by the arriving particle, wehave a superposition of dead and alive cats).

the probability of position being in dx in-dependent of observation. In fact, the samestate vector also yields

Einsteins Principle of Local Reality and
the EPR Paradox Bohr asserted that quan-tum reality of a system is contingent uponthe disposition of the apparatus in the entireworld, not just in the nearby part of it. This
was stated most forcefully by Bohr in thenow famous Bohr-Einstein debates on quan-tum mechanics [0]. In conict with Bohrsassertion, Einstein proposed a principle, nowcalled the Principle of local reality. This prin-ciple led to the EPR paradox, Bell inequal-ities and experiments which proved that lo-cal reality is violated in nature. It continues
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
26/85
however to provide insights into the nature
of quantum entanglement, and via Bell in-equalities, a quantitative measure of entan-glement.
It is convenient to consider Einsteins localreality principle as a combination of the de-nitions of locality and reality spelt out be-low.
Einstein Locality . Suppose two systems S 1and S 2 which have interacted in the pasthave now separated and are experimented
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
27/85
upon by two observers in spatially separated
regions. Observed properties of the two sub-systems can ofcourse be correlated due topast interactions. Einstein insisted, But onone supposition we should,in my opinion, ab-solutely hold fast: the real factual situationof the system S 2 is independent of what isdone with the system S 1 , which is spatiallyseparated from the former.
Physical Reality . The meaning of real fac-tual situation in Einsteins formulation wasclaried by the denition of physical reality
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
28/85
in the landmark paper of Einstein, Podol-
sky and Rosen [0]: If without in any waydisturbing a system, we can predict with cer-tainty (i.e. with probability equal to unity)the value of a physical quantity, then there
exists an element of physical reality corre-sponding to this physical quantity.
Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen applied the
principle of local reality to argue that Quan-tum Mechanics is incomplete. Consider atwo particle system. In quantum mechanics,
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide

the position observable qi and the momen-
tum observable pi cannot be simultaneouslyspecied sharply; but the observables q1 q2and p1 + p2 are commuting observables andthere is a quantum state
|q1 q2 = q0 | p1 + p2 = p0
in which they are specied arbitrarily sharply,and have values q0 and p0 . Ignore momen-tarily the difficulty that such states are not
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
30/85
normalizable, a difficulty removed later by
Bohm and Aharonov [0] by considering spinobservables. Suppose observers A and Bare spacelike separated. In such a state,if B chooses to measure q2 she predicts q1with certainty (without disturbing that parti-cle since it is spatially separated), and henceq1 must have physical reality; equally, if shechooses to measure p2 she predicts p(1) tohave reality. By the principle of local reality,reality for particle 1 must be independent of choices made by observer B. Hence, both q1and p1 must have physical reality for particle

Bohm-Aharonov EPR Experiment, Lo-
cal Hidden Variables and Bells Theorem
Bell formulated the EPR local reality idea us-ing the Bohm-Aharonov [0] example of twospin-half particles or two qubits (quantumbits) prepared in a singlet state
| = |/ 2 = | / 2(5)
at a source S and then ying apart, to be de-tected by two spacelike separated observers,each equipped independently, (e.g. with ro-tatable Stern-Gerlach magnets) , to measure

any arbitrarily chosen component of the par-ticle spin.
EPR-Bohm-Aharonov Experiment
Since the singlet state is rotationally sym-metric, the spin components measured alongany direction by the two observers must be
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
34/85
opposite. Observer 1 can predict with cer-tainty the result of measurement of any com-ponent of (2) . a by observer 2 by previouslymeasuring the same component (1) . a forparticle 1.Since Einstein locality implies thatthe choice of magnet orientation made by
the remote observer 1 does not affect the re-sult obtained by observer 2, the result of anysuch observation must be predetermined.Theinitial quantum wave function does not spec-ify the result of an individual measurement;thereforethe predetermination requires a more com-plete specication of the state , say by addingadditional variables (hidden variables) .

abilistic rather than deterministic hidden vari-ables. Suppose the hidden variables , withprobability distribution ( ) ,determine theprobability pr1 ( , a ) of observing the value r =
1 of the observable A( a ) = (1) . a and theprobability ps2 ( , b) of observing the value s =1 of the observable B ( b) = (2) . b. Einsteinlocality implies that pr1 ( , a ) and p

independent of the orientations of the re-mote measuring apparatus.Then the prob-ability pr,s ( a, b ) of observing A( a ) = r and

Abstract
Realizing robust quantum information trans-fer between long-lived qubit registers is a keychallenge for quantum information science
and technology. Here , we demonstrate un-conditional teleportation of arbitrary quan-tum states between diamond spin qubits sep-arated by 3 m. We prepare the teleporter
through photon-mediated heralded entangle-ment between two distant electron spins andsubsequently encode the source qubit in a
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
47/85
single nuclear spin. By realizing a fully deter-ministic Bell-state measurement combined withreal-time feed-forward quantum teleportationis achieved upon each attempt with an av-erage state delity exceeding the classicallimit. These results establish diamond spinqubits as a prime candidate for the realiza-tion of quantum networks for quantum com-munication and network-based quantum com-puting.
Causal Quantum Mechanics and JointPosition-Momentum Probabilities . The

48/85
search for a causal quantum mechanics ledto joint position-momentum probabilities (DeBroglie-Bohm) much before the discovery of Bell inequalities for the EPR-Bohm-AharonovExperiment.Subsequently phase space Bellinequalities have led to the theorem that forgeneral states in 2 N dimensional phase spacemore than N + 1 marginals cannot agreewith corresponding quantum probability den-sities (Auberson-Mahoux-Roy-Singh).( N +1-marginal theorem).

De Broglie and Bohm 4 (dBB) proposed atheory with position as a hidden variableso that {x, | }, i.e., the state vector supple-mented by the instantaneous position is thecomplete description of the state of the sys-tem. Here x = ( x1 , , xN ) denotes the con-guration space co-ordinate which evolvesaccording to
dx idt
= 1m i
iS ( x( t ) , t ) , (11)
where m i denotes the mass of particle i, andthe Schr odinger wave function is given by,
x| ( t ) R exp iS, (12)
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
52/85
with R and S real functions of ( x, t ). DBBshow that if we start at t = 0 with an ensem-ble of particles whose position density coin-cides with |( x, 0) |2 at t = 0, then such timeevolution leads to a position density that co-incides with
| ( x, t )
|2 at any arbitrary time t.
Thus, the phase space density is
dBB ( x, p, t ) = |( x, t ) |2 p S ( x, t )(13)
whose marginal at arbitrary time reproducesthe position probability density,
dBB ( x, p, t ) d p = | ( x, t ) |2 . (14)
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
53/85
Bell: The De Broglie-Bohm picture dis-poses of the necessity to divide the worldsomehow into system and apparatus
(because the position co-ordinates exist with-out the necessity of measurement). As faras the position variable is concerned the dBBtheory restores history and causality withoutaltering the statistical predictions of quan-tum mechanics. The lack of Einstein localityis an essential feature of quantum mechan-ics. It is enshrined in the dBB velocity of thei th particle depending on the instantaneous
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
54/85
position of all the particles however far theymay be.
The momentum and other variables besidesposition do not have the same favoured sta-tus as position however. As Takabayasi 5
pointed out the dBB phase space densitydoes not yield the correct quantum momen-tum density, i.e.,
dBB ( x, p, t ) dx = |( p, t ) |
2.
For position, the value observed can be thesame as the preexisting value; not so for mo-
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
55/85
mentum. Momentum therefore has not thesame reality as Position.
Causal Quantum MechanicsSymmetric in Position and Momentum. We [S. M.Roy and V. Singh] 6 ,7 asked thequestion , is it possible to remove this asym-metrical treatment of position and momen-tum and build a new causal quantum me-chanics in which momentum and position
can have simultaneous reality? We spelt outa non-unique but affirmative answer in onedimensional conguration space and later (with
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
56/85
G. Auberson and G. Mahoux) 8 generalisedit to arbitrary dimensions. We recall rst theoriginal one dimensional construction with amonotonic dependence of momentum on po-sition.
The point of departure is to seek a phasespace density of the form
( x,p,t ) = |( x, t ) |2 ( p p( x, t )) , (15)where p( x, t ) is not given by the dBB formula.Rather, p( x, t ) is to be determined by therequirement
( x,p,t ) dx = |( p, t ) |2 . (16)
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
57/85
If we assume that p( x, t ) is a monotonic func-
tion of x (non-decreasing or non-increasing),
( p p( x, t )) = ( x x( p, t ))
p( x,t )x
(17)
and
( x,p,t ) = | ( x, t ) |2 p( x,t )x
( x x( p, t )) (18)
If we determine p( x, t ) such that
|( x, t ) |2 = p( x, t )
x |( p, t ) |2 , (19)
8/11/2019 Causality Joint Probability 2014 Slide
58/85
we obtain
( x,p,t ) = | ( p, t ) |2
( x x( p, t )) (20)which obeys the desired Eq. (6). Two ex-plicit solutions to Eq. (9), corresponding tonon-decreasing ( = 1) and non-increasing
( = 1) functions p( x, t ) are given by, p( x,t ) dp | ( p , t ) |

=

dx
| ( x , t )
|2 . (21)
Instead of Eq. (5) or Eq. (10), the phasespace density may now be written in the sym-

commuting observables x1 , x 2 and approxi-mate values of system position and momen-tum are extracted from accurate observationof x1 , x 2 . The Von Neumann-Arthurs-Kellyinteraction during the time interval (0 , T ) is,
H = K ( qp1 + pp2 ) (25)
where K is a const, with KT = 1 and theother symbols denote the respective opera-tors. During interaction time, H is so strong

and x2 = p , the dispersions in x1 , x 2 arelarger than for the system,
( x1 ) 2 = ( q) 2 + b2 ,
( x2 ) 2 = ( p) 2 + 14b2
. (31)
By varying b we obtain the measurement ornoise uncertainty relation , (units = 1 ),
x1 x2 1 (32)where the minimum uncertainty is twice the
preparation uncertainty. Arthurs and Good-man 13 have given a beautiful proof of thisfundamental uncertainty relation, which is
independent of any particular choice of the

67/85
independent of any particular choice of theHamiltonian. Further,for x1 distribution toapproximate q distribution closely, we needb q; for x2 distribution to approximate p distribution closely, we need b ( p) 1. Hence, for good approximation of both qand p distributions, we also need,
q p 1 . (33)
Testing a phase space density against theArthurs Kelly (AK) distribution is meaning-ful only in this region. Even when the phase

pRS ( q, t ) = + p q( q t/m ) . (35)

= ( t/m )[2 2 +
1 + ( m/ ( t )) 2 ].
(36)This agrees with the Arthurs-Kelly result,
2x1 x2 AK = ( t/m )[2 2 + ], (37)
when ( m/ ( t )) 1, i.e. q p 1. In con-trast, another phase space density which re-produces quantum q, p probability densities,

above correlation in disagreement with theArthurs-Kelly result. We know that for
( p) 1 b q,the separate q and p probability densities givenby AK and RS agree. Therefore the crit-ical test of the R S distribution against theA K distribution will be to compare thepositions of the momentum peaks pRS ( q)and pAK ( q). This has been performed by

dicates the possibility of a causal description
of single slit diffraction exactly in the region q p 1 highlighted by Einstein.
The non-uniqueness of such a description
even for a xed choice of the canonical pairq, p opens up the question of optimisation of phase space probability densities. Recently Inoticed (S. M. Roy, Physics Letters A, 377
(34-36). pp. 2011-2015 (2013)) that a con-vex combination of the two R-S phase space

reproduces the quantum correlation < qp + pq > 2 < q >< p > exactly.The possibilityof experimental tests via Arthurs-Kelly mea-surements in quantum optics is an incentiveto look for this miracle for more general wavefunctions.
