Local Realistic Interpretation of Entangled Photon Pairs in the Weyl-Wigner Formalism

Local Realistic Interpretation of Entangled Photon Pairs in the Weyl-Wigner Formalism

A polarization correlation experiment with two maximally entangled photons created by spontaneous parametric down-conversion is studied in the Weyl-Wigner formalism, that reproduces the quantum predictions. A realistic stochastic interpretation is proposed suggesting that an analysis of the experime...
