Groups, Platonic solids and Bell inequalities

Abstract

The construction of Bell inequalities based on Platonic and Archimedean solids (Quantum 4 (2020), 293) is generalized to the case of orbits generated by the action of some finite groups. A number of examples with considerable violation of Bell inequalities is presented.

The Platonic solids and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics

Armin Tavakoli, Nicolas Gisin

The Platonic solids is the name traditionally given to the five regular convex polyhedra, namely the tetrahedron, the octahedron, the cube, the icosahedron and the dodecahedron. Perhaps strongly boosted by the towering historical influence of their namesake, these beautiful solids have, in well over two millennia, transcended traditional boundaries and entered the stage in a range of disciplines. Examples include natural philosophy and mathematics from classical antiquity, scientific modeling during the days of the European scientific revolution and visual arts ranging from the renaissance to modernity. Motivated by mathematical beauty and a rich history, we consider the Platonic solids in the context of modern quantum mechanics. Specifically, we construct Bell inequalities whose maximal violations are achieved with measurements pointing to the vertices of the Platonic solids. These Platonic Bell inequalities are constructed only by inspecting the visible symmetries of the Platonic solids. We also construct Bell inequalities for more general polyhedra and find a Bell inequality that is more robust to noise than the celebrated Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality. Finally, we elaborate on the tension between mathematical beauty, which was our initial motivation, and experimental friendliness, which is necessary in all empirical sciences.

Bell inequalities for $S_4$ group: classical and quantum bounds for two orbits case

Katarzyna Bolonek-Lasoń, Piotr Kosiński

Within Guney-Hillery approach a number of examples of classical and quantum bounds on sum of probabilities resulting from two orbits of $S_4$ is considered. It is shown that the violation of Bell's inequalities is rather rare and gentle.

Güney-Hillery approach to Bell inequalities

Katarzyna Bolonek-Lasoń, Piotr Kosiński

We analyze certain aspects of the group-theoretical approach to Bell inequalities proposed by G\"uney and Hillery. The general procedure for constructing the relevant group orbits is described. Using Hall theorem we determine the form of Bell inequality in the single-orbit case. It is shown that in this case the Bell inequality is not violated for a maximally entangled state generating trivial subrepresentation if the representation under consideration is real.

Bell Inequalities and Group Symmetry

Katarzyna Bolonek-Lasoń

Recently the method based on irreducible representations of finite groups has been proposed as a tool for investigating the more sophisticated versions of Bell inequalities (V. Ugǔr Gűney, M. Hillery, Phys. Rev. A90, 062121 ([2014]) and Phys. Rev. A91, 052110 ([2015])). In the present paper an example based on the symmetry group S 4 is considered. The Bell inequality violation due to the symmetry properties of regular tetrahedron is described. A nonlocal game based on the inequalities derived is described and it is shown that the violation of Bell inequality implies that the quantum strategies outperform their classical counterparts.

Violation of Bell inequality based on S4 symmetry

Katarzyna Bolonek-Lasoń

In two recent papers [Phys. Rev. A 90, 062121 (2014) and Phys. Rev. A, 91, 052110 (2015)] an interesting method of analyzing the violation of Bell inequalities has been proposed which is based on the theory of finite group representations. Here we apply this method to more complicated examples of ${S}_{4}$ symmetry. We show how the Bell inequality can be related to the symmetries of regular tetrahedron. By choosing the orbits of three-dimensional representations of ${S}_{4}$ determined by the geometry of tetrahedron we find that the Bell inequality under consideration is violated in quantum theory. The corresponding nonlocal game is analyzed.

Violation of Bell inequalities from $$S_4$$ S 4 symmetry: the three orbits case

Katarzyna Bolonek-Lasoń, Ścibór Sobieski

The recently proposed (Güney and Hillery in Phys Rev A 90:062121, 2014; Phys Rev A 91:052110, 2015) group theoretical approach to the problem of violating the Bell inequalities is applied to $$S_4$$ group. The Bell inequalities based on the choice of three orbits in the representation space corresponding to standard representation of $$S_4$$ are derived and their violation is described. The corresponding nonlocal games are analyzed.
