Abstract

We construct a 'mutant' form of quantum mechanics on a vector space over the finite Galois field GF(q). We find that the correlations in our model do not violate the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) version of Bell's inequality, despite the fact that the predictions of this discretized quantum mechanics cannot be reproduced with any hidden variable theory. An alternative 'mutation' is also suggested.

We construct a discrete quantum mechanics (QM) using a vector space over the Galois field GF(q). We find that the correlations in our model do not violate the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (CHSH) version of Bell's inequality, despite the fact that the predictions of this discrete QM cannot be reproduced with any hidden variable theory.

Spin and rotations in Galois field quantum mechanics

Lay Nam Chang, Zachary Lewis, Djordje Minić +1 more

We discuss the properties of Galois field quantum mechanics constructed on a vector space over the finite Galois field GF ( q ). In particular, we look at two-level systems analogous to spin, and discuss how SO (3) rotations could be embodied in such a system. We also consider two-particle 'spin' correlations and show that the Clauser–Horne-Shimony–Holt inequality is nonetheless not violated in this model.

Hidden variable model for the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt test based on the Bell-Kochen-Specker model for a qubit

F. De Zela

The validity of the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (Bell-CHSH) inequality for hidden-variable models of the Bell type and the quantum prediction that said inequality can be violated are two indisputable assertions. However, one can prove wrong the assertion that no hidden-variable model is able to reproduce quantum predictions about the Bell-CHSH test. Here, we reproduce all quantum predictions of Bell-CHSH tests by means of the Bell-Kochen-Specker hidden-variable model for a qubit plus Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen “criterion of physical reality”.

The Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality in the context of a broad random variable

Felipe Andrade Velozo, José A. C. Nogales, Gustavo Figueiredo Araújo

In this work we aim to analyze the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt CHSH inequality strictly in the context of probability theory. In the course of assembling inequality we have to take care not to produce assumptions a priori, that is, physically or intuitively accepted suppositions. Of course, this does not mean that after these considerations, we put the adequate physical conditions suitable and generally accepted in these contexts. This allows us to clearly visualize the possibility of finding a greater inequality than that of CHSH in which it is included. This inequality does not contradict the CHSH inequality. This result is suported by using a robust computational simulation, showing the possibility for obtaining an inequality for quantum mechanics that is not violated and allows random hidden variables without any conflict with Bell's inequality.

Gluing together quantum field theory and quantum mechanics: A look at the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality

M. S. Guimarães, I. Roditi, Silvio Paolo sorella

The Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (Bell-CHSH) inequality in the vacuum state of a relativistic scalar quantum field is revisited by making use of the Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}\ensuremath{\bigotimes}{\mathcal{H}}_{AB}$, where $\mathcal{H}$ and ${\mathcal{H}}_{AB}$ stand, respectively, for the Hilbert space of the scalar field and of a generic bipartite quantum mechanical system. The construction of Hermitian, field-dependent, dichotomic operators is devised as well as the Bell-CHSH inequality. Working out the $AB$ part of the inequality, the resulting Bell-CHSH correlation function for the quantum field naturally emerges from unitary Weyl operators. Furthermore, introducing a Jaynes-Cummings type Hamiltonian accounting for the interaction between the scalar field and a pair of qubits, the quantum corrections to the Bell-CHSH inequality in the vacuum state of the scalar field are evaluated till the second order in perturbation theory.

A perturbation of CHSH inequality induced by fluctuations of ensemble distributions

Andrei Yu. Khrennikov

We reconsider the theory of hidden variables under the assumption that the conjecture on the ensemble (experiment run) independence of the distribution of hidden variables (which was indirectly used by J. Bell and his followers) is violated. Ensemble fluctuations imply perturbations of Bell’s inequality and its generalizations. We study (by experimental reasons) CHSH (Clauser, Horne, Shimony, Holt) inequality and obtain its modification. This modified inequality is not in disaccord with the predictions of quantum formalism. The deviation from the standard CHSH inequality depends on the magnitude of ensemble fluctuations. We find these magnitude for fluctuating families of Gaussian distributions. We found that if the dimension of the space of hidden variables is very high, then to obtain a contradiction between the local realism and quantum formalism, we must be sure there is no even negligibly small deviations in probability distributions of hidden variables corresponding to different runs of the experiment (in particular, the efficiency of detectors must be equal to one).
