This paper analyzes a somewhat different gedanken experiment involving only two observers that nevertheless makes indirect use of the GHZ states to prove Bell's theorem. The relationship of the GHZM proof to the present one is discussed, and it is pointed out that the latter provides an interesting new view of the connection between the \"two theorems of John Bell\".", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-01-07T18:05:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "bells theorem", "bells nonlocality theorem", "source periodically emits", "john bell", "ghzm proof" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
