We show, nevertheless, that their analysis does not exclude local hidden variable models in which the inefficiency in the experiment is an effect not only of random errors in the detector equipment, but is also the manifestation of a pre-set, hidden property of the particles (\"prism models\"). Indeed, we present an explicit prism model for the GHZ scenario; that is, a local hidden variable model entirely compatible with recent GHZ experiments.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v7", "updated": "2002-08-19T20:51:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "local hidden variable theory", "ghz experiment", "realizable ghz correlations supports", "prism model", "exclude local hidden variable models" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 17, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
