A Letter to the Quantum Physics Community.

By John Adams Theibert Jr.

This is my letter to Dr. Cramer. I thought I might be good to let everyone know about my inquiry.

Subject: “An Inquiry into the Possibility of Nonlocal Quantum Communication” Experiment Inquiry

Dear Dr. Cramer,

I have read your paper “An Inquiry into the Possibility of Nonlocal Quantum Communication” Dated 16 September, 2014 / Revised: 14 February, 2015. I am impressed with the efforts you and your colleague Dr. Herbert went to, to confirm that there is likely no nonlocal signaling via quantum entanglement. To introduce myself I am an amateur physics enthusiast. I hope you don’t start to close your mind off to me like the core of a hyper nova, but I think your experiments should be retested in a different environment that might give new and fascinating results. Using 2 spacecrafts, let’s call them Alice and Bob, the same sequence of experiments could be retested across a much larger laboratory, the solar system, or at least a large chunk of it. The reason for this is that all your experiments have one thing in common. That is a concept, which I believe I invented, called uninterrupted interruptible causality.

Interruptible causality suggests that future paths taken by entangled photons might be structurally intrinsic to the moment of creation or divergence of the entangled photons. Whether it’s at creation or divergence could also be a point of experimentation once interruptible causality is shown to exist. There are two kinds of interruptible causality uninterrupted and interrupted. Uninterrupted causality is analogous to an inertial reference frame, whereas interrupted causality is analogous to a non-inertial reference frame. The nonlocal information transfer then would be analogous to acceleration, but it is not acceleration. Structural future paths intrinsic to entangled photons or any entangled pair of particles have levels of causal trajectory. The lowest level of causal trajectory would be uninterrupted causality, whereas, higher levels of causal trajectory are different amounts of interrupted causality.

The way to test for this is using the spacecrafts Alice and Bob “trap” photons, known as idler photons in the Delayed Choice Quantum Eraser experiment, in the space between the spacecrafts. Alice houses the experimental apparatus, and Bob holds the reflectors to send the idler photons on a non-overlapping path back to Alice. Let’s say we put Alice and Bob one astronomical unit apart somewhere in the outer solar system. The idler photons will be “trapped” for around 16 minutes. If we know the experimental setup at the beginning of the idler photons trip from Alice to Bob and back, we can change things before the idler gets back and interrupt the interruptible causality of the idler photons.

I know this is not enough of a description to completely understand this kind of experiment. But, I believe it is important for future quantum computers. This is because eventually quantum computers might one day become complex enough to “trap” significant numbers of idler photons in them and if we don’t know of the existence of interruptible causality, there could be a quantum computer crisis one day when inadvertent interruptions of causality start to occur in the inner workings of such computers, possibly leading to a meltdown of the future economy. To that end, I hope that this experiment is done within the next 15 to 25 years to allow us to avoid the catastrophe.

If you want to continue this conversation, please correspond at your convenience as I have further details about this proposed experiment I call “The Trapped Idler Photon Interruptible Causality Experiment.”

Thanks,

John Theibert Jr.
