Just a quick reminder why the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in error. John Clauser's papers should in fact be retracted for mathematical errors.

The "quantum" correlation of the two channel optical Bell test is -cos 2(a-b). Rewrite that as -cos 2((a'+c)-(b'+c)), where a'+c=a, b'+c=b. If we choose b'=0 then the correlation has the form -cos 2a', WHICH IS WIDELY KNOWN TO BE THE "CLASSICAL" SOLUTION.

ONE MERELY ROTATES THE ANGLES SIMULTANEOUSLY.

The Nobel goes on to award Anton Zeilinger, presumably mostly for "quantum" computing, but the "quantum" analysis of "quantum" computing depends on there being no "classical" solution to the two channel optical Bell test. Above we derived such a solution. Therefore "quantum" computing analysis is wrong.

A "quantum" computer is actually a very expensive and unreliable hybrid analog-digital computer.

I thought maybe I should add late that physicists may complain rotating the problem to the case where one of the settings is zero is illegitimate, because you have not actually rotated the physical apparatus.

But we are solving a mathematical problem. We are not running an experiment. Once we wrote the problem down as a WORD PROBLEM it was no longer a physical experiment, but mathematics.

In any case, write a computer simulation. I have written many. They confirm the result. Bell was WRONG.

Also, one may wonder why NOT rotating the angles and then attempting to solve "classically" results in incorrect "inequalities".

One answer is that insufficient care has been taken to rule out that the solution doesn't apply to an entirely different experiment. It will turn out the calculations are for partially obstructed particle beams.

Though really what has happened is that John Clauser was abysmal at mathematics, as was John Bell.
