Chapter 20 - FTL by Indistinguishability

Portent

Measurements on distinguishable particles can’t leverage quantum entanglement and nonlocality to achieve superluminal signaling. What about indistinguishable particles? Or more preciesly, what if Alice and Bob can independently choose to make either a distinguishable or an indistinguishable measurement on a double pair of EPR entangled photons?

Can this scheme, finally, allow a local measurement there, to impact the statistics of a local measurement here?

Significance

For FTL to be allowed requires three elements:

• entanglement
• a restriction rule
• telling left from right

It might feel a little different than timelike causality it might be a little more subtle, it might be statistical, but if the signal to noise ratio is there at all, it is practical.
