Violation of Bell's Inequalities with a Local Theory of Photons

Abstract

We use a local theory of photons purely as particles to model the single-photon experiment proposed by Tan, Walls, and Collett. Like Tan et al. we are able to derive a violation of Bell's inequalities for photon counts coincidence measurements. Our local probabilistic theory does not use any specific quantum mechanical calculations.Comment: LaTeX, 11 pages, one figure (in LaTeX), submitted to Foundations of Physics Letter
