My invited reply was published by RSOS in November 2022: https://doi.org/10.1098/rsos.220147

Researchers show that classical computers can keep up with, and surpass, their quantum counterparts:

Why bother with the 1 and 2 designations? They are exactly the same and eq. (15) is a matrix. Because, while mathematically the same, they belong to two different spins, or particles, arriving at the spacelike separated observation stations 1 and 2. Sure, that is obvious so really no need for the s...

Ok, you're welcome. Now, I don't quite understand eq. (15). What do sigma_1 and sigma_2 represent? sigma_1 and sigma_2 represent spins at the two observation stations 1 and 2 at the two ends of the experiment. The spins in quantum mechanics are not represented by ordinary vectors like k but by Paul...

After eq. (13) you say "...where k is an arbitrary unit vector...". k is the spin vector of the particles so not exactly arbitrary. The direction of k is arbitrary. You might want to make that more clear. Thanks! Yes, k is a unit spin vector with arbitrary direction and a unit magnitude. ...

Is this the beginning of the end of quantum computing hype?

Yes, that is correct. The paper is under review at a prominent journal. But its preprint is available on arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.10288 . I'm having trouble with your eq. (56). You have an average of the product of two discontinuous functions on the first line and two continuous functions ...

Yes, that is correct. The paper is under review at a prominent journal. But its preprint is available on arXiv: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.10288 Oh..., you changed the model again. Well, this way is more simple but I kind of liked that the limits actually got taken the other way. Hmm..., maybe ther...

I do not have a formal, mathematical, retrocausal model but you can look at my most recent four papers here if you have not already seen them: https://vixra.org/author/austin_j_fearnley I did suggest my idea in a casual post many years ago to Joy but he did not like it. And I do not expect anyone t...

. Richard D. Gill seems to have bitten off more than he can chew this time by harassing some trial witnesses in a murder case.

"n" is the singlet spin vector "s". What else would/could it be? The rest of what you have written is pure nonsense since A depends on both "a" and "s". . "n" is not a random variable. It is a fixed vector. "s", on the other hand, is a ran...

https://sciphysicsfoundations.com/sims/singletWave.jpg What do you suppose "n" is in the singlet wavefunction above? It's "s", a quantum mechanical variable. . "n" is an ordinary vector in R^3. It is not a variable in a complex-valued Hilbert space like psi is. If you ...

Good. Then why are you claiming "s" is a hidden variable? It does not meet criteria number 3. "s" is in the quantum mechanical wavefunction. It is a quantum mechanical variable. . Because it is. It is a random point on a 2-sphere. It is a hidden variable that originates from the...

I didn't say that I "reject" it. I actually agree with that part. Here it what a hidden variable has to be, 1. A random variable 2. A variable generated by the source 3. A variable that is in addition to or supplements quantum mechanics. You seem to not agree with number 3. But that is ab...

LOL! You can't give your paper as a reference; the definition of "hidden variable" needs to be independent. And... I'm actually rejecting Bell's whole hidden variable program. It is junk physics. Quantum mechanics does not need any hidden variables. "A random variable that originates...

If it is the "standard" definition, then why can't I find it online? And why haven't you given me an online reference for it? Or... how would you make the above definition less vague? I will scan through Bell's book to see what I can find while waiting for your reference. . Bell's 1964 pa...

That can't be very precise because we don't agree on the definition of "h". That is what this whole thread is about. So, what or how would you change the above definition to make it less vague? . The standard definition of the hidden variable "h" is that it is a random variable ...
