Abstract

A solution of nonlocal EPR correlation between counter-propagating pair of polarization entangled photons emitted from a common source at S and detected at points P and Q is sought outside the EPR’s reality criterion of local causality but within the framework of time-symmetric quantum electrodynamics allowing the bi-directional signal transmission P  S Q on the double-light cone where the future and the past cones share common light paths connecting the photon source S and the detection points P and Q.
