The simulation above uses classical optics theory, including the [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Polarizer&oldid=1152014034 Law of Malus], and assumes light detectors are the source of "randomness" in detections. Instead write a simulation with these differences:
* The ''light source'' works exactly as above, but now we call it ''a source of photons-containing-hidden-variables'' and pay no attention to the amplitude of the light pulses. They are now simply little "pellets" of light, but containing some inner state that quantum mechanics pointedly ignores.
* A polarizing beam splitter, rather than emit light of reduced amplitude, emits up to two new photons-containing-hidden-variables, again of
* The ''light detector'' we will now call a ''photodetector''. It detects impinging photons-containing-hidden-variables with probability ''one''. It is a perfect photon-containing-hidden-variables detector.
* Output must be in the format described above, so the data analyzers can analyze them.
