Solving the Einstein-Podolksy-Rosen puzzle: a possible origin of non-locality. (arXiv:1108.4350v3 [quant-ph] CROSS LISTED)

Solving the Einstein-Podolksy-Rosen puzzle: a possible origin of non-locality. (arXiv:1108.4350v3 [quant-ph] CROSS LISTED):
So far no mechanism is known, which could connect the two measurements in a
Bell-type experiment with a speed beyond the speed of light, commonly
considered the ultimate limit of propagation of any field-like interaction.
Here, we suggest such a mechanism, based on the phase of a photon field during
its propagation. We show that two measurements, corresponding to two
independent rotations of the fields, are connected, even if no signal passes
from one point of measurement to the other. The non-local connection of a
photon pair is the result of its origin at a common source, where the two
fields acquire a well defined phase difference. Therefore, it is not actually a
non-local effect in any conventional sense.
