Bell’s inequality with Dirac particles

S. Moradi

Published Mar 1, 2009• 11 citations

Abstract

We study Bell’s inequality using the Bell states constructed from four component Dirac spinors. Spin operator is related to the Pauli-Lubanski pseudo vector which is relativistic invariant operator. By using Lorentz transformation, in both Bell states and spin operator, we obtain an observer independent Bell’s inequality, so that it is maximally violated as long as it is violated maximally in the rest frame.

Tripartite Entanglement and Lorentz Transformation

Firouz Amiri, Shahpoor Moradi

Entanglement of tripartite spin states under Lorentz transformations is studied in the context of Bell’s inequality and positive partial transpose criterion. First the relativistic analogue of Bell’s inequality is discussed for three qubit states by explicit calculation of the Wigner rotation. We use the relativistic invariant spin operator which is related to the Pauli-Lubanski pseudo vector. For observers at rest the Bell’s inequality is speed-independent and maximally violated. For moving observers it’s shown that Bell’s inequality is violated and the amount of violation depends on the boost speed. We show that in ultrarelativistic limit Bell’s inequality is still maximally violated. We also obtained the critical value for satisfying Bell’s inequality. The critical value of boost speed for violation of inequality for particles moving in the center of mass frame is greater than that for particles moving with the same momentum. Second we investigate the entanglement distillability of tripartite mixed spin states under Lorentz transformations in the context of Werner states. We show that there are states that will change from distillable (entangled) into separable for a certain value of rapidity.

Frame independent nonlocality for three qubit state

Shahpoor Moradi, Mohsen Aghaee

Bell's inequality is investigated for the three qubit GHZ state in relativistic regime. Two different relativistic spin operator are considered. One of them is defined by Lee, and the other is the Pauli-Lubanski pseudovector used by Kim \textit{et al}. It is shown that for both spin operator Bell's inequality is still maximally violated in a Lorentz-boosted frame.

Relativistic entanglement and Bell’s inequality

Doyeol Ahn, Hyuk‐Jae Lee, Young Hoon Moon +1 more

In this paper, the Lorentz transformation of entangled Bell states seen by a moving observer is studied. The calculated Bell observable for four joint measurements turns out to give a universal value, $〈\^a\ensuremath{\bigotimes}\mathrm{b\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}〉+〈\^a\ensuremath{\bigotimes}{b}^{\ensuremath{'}}〉+〈{a}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\bigotimes}\mathrm{b\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}〉\ensuremath{-}〈{a}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\bigotimes}{b}^{\ensuremath{'}}〉=(2/\sqrt{2\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\beta}}^{2}})(1+\sqrt{1\ensuremath{-}{\ensuremath{\beta}}^{2}}),$ where $\^a,\mathrm{b\ifmmode \hat{}\else \^{}\fi{}}$ are the relativistic spin observables derived from the Pauli-Lubanski pseudovector and $\ensuremath{\beta}=(v/c).$ We found that the degree of violation of the Bell's inequality is decreasing with increasing velocity of the observer and Bell's inequality is satisfied in the ultrarelativistic limit where the boost speed reaches the speed of light.

Entanglement in Relativistic Quantum Mechanics

Enderalp Yakaboylu

In this thesis, entanglement under fully relativistic settings are discussed. The thesis starts with a brief review of the relativistic quantum mechanics. In order to describe the effects of Lorentz transformations on the entangled states, quantum mechanics and special relativity are merged by construction of the unitary irreducible representations of Poincar{é} group on the infinite dimensional Hilbert space of state vectors. In this framework, the issue of finding the unitary irreducible representations of Poincar{é} group is reduced to that of the little group. Wigner rotation for the massive particles plays a crucial role due to its effect on the spin polarization directions. Furthermore, the physical requirements for constructing the correct relativistic spin operator is also studied. Then, the entanglement and Bell type inequalities are reviewed. Special attention has been devoted to two historical papers, by EPR in 1935 and by J.S. Bell in 1964. The main part of the thesis is based on the Lorentz transformation of the Bell states and the Bell inequalities on these transformed states. It is shown that entanglement is a Lorentz invariant quantity. That is, no inertial observer can see the entangled state as a separable one. However, it was shown that the Bell inequality may be satisfied for the Wigner angle dependent transformed entangled states. Since the Wigner rotation changes the spin polarization direction with the increased velocity, initial dichotomous operators can satisfy the Bell inequality for those states. By choosing the dichotomous operators taking into consideration the Wigner angle, it is always possible to show that Bell type inequalities can be violated for the transformed entangled states.

Relativistic Bell Test within Quantum Reference Frames

Lucas F. Streiter, Flaminia Giacomini, Časlav Brukner

A still widely debated question in the field of relativistic quantum information is whether entanglement and the degree of violation of Bell's inequalities for massive relativistic particles are frame independent or not. At the core of this question is the effect that spin gets entangled with the momentum degree of freedom at relativistic velocities. Here, we show that Bell's inequalities for a pair of particles can be maximally violated in a special-relativistic regime, even without any postselection of the momentum of the particles. To this end, we use the methodology of quantum reference frames, which allows us to transform the problem to the rest frame of a particle, whose state can be in a superposition of relativistic momenta from the viewpoint of the laboratory frame. We show that, when the relative motion of two particles is noncollinear, the optimal measurements for violation of Bell's inequalities in the laboratory frame involve "coherent Wigner rotations." Moreover, the degree of violation of Bell's inequalities is independent of the choice of the quantum reference frame. Our results open up the possibility of extending entanglement-based quantum communication protocols to relativistic regimes.
