Bell Correlations as Selection Artefacts
Authors: Huw Price, Ken Wharton
Abstract: We propose an explanation of the correlations characteristic of Bell experiments, showing how they may arise as a special sort of selection artefact. This explanation accounts for the phenomena that have been taken to imply nonlocality, without recourse to any direct spacelike causality or influence. If correct, the proposal offers a novel way to reconcile nonlocality with relativity. The present paper updates an earlier version of the proposal (arXiv:2101.05370v4 [quant-ph], arXiv:2212.06986 [quant-ph]) in two main respects: (i) in demonstrating its application in a real Bell experiment; and (ii) in avoiding the need for an explicit postulate of retrocausality.
