Bell inequality and complementarity loophole
read the original abstract
A simple classical, deterministic, local situation violating the Bell inequality is described. The detectors used in the experiment are ideal and the observers who decide which pair of measuring devices to choose for a given pair of particles have free will. The construction uses random variables which are not jointly measurable in a single run of an experiment and the hidden variables have a nonsymmetric probability density. Such random variables are complementary but still fully classical. An assumption that classical random variables cannot satisfy any form of complementarity principle is false, and this is the loophole used in this example. A relationship to the detector inefficiency loophole is discussed.
