Abstract

Abstract Use of the vacuum projector and of the unitary displacement operators enables us to construct Hermitian dichotomic operators. These operators are employed to scrutinize the violation of the Bell-CHSH inequality for entangled coherent Schrödinger cat states.

Bell and Mermin inequalities in Quantum Field Theory from vacuum projectors and Weyl operators

M. S. Guimarães, I. Roditi, Silvio Paolo sorella +1 more

The use of the vacuum projector | 0 〉 〈 0 | and of the unitary Weyl operators enables us to construct a set of Hermitian dichotomic operators in relativistic scalar Quantum Field Theory in Minkowski spacetime. Employing test functions supported in diamond regions, both Bell and Mermin inequalities are studied by means of a numerical setup. In addition to reporting expressive violations of both inequalities, the cluster property is also checked.

Gluing together Quantum Field Theory and Quantum Mechanics: a look at the Bell-CHSH inequality

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

The Bell-CHSH inequality in the vacuum state of a relativistic scalar quantum field is revisited by making use of the Hilbert space ${\cal H} \otimes {\cal H}_{AB}$, where ${\cal H}$ and ${\cal H}_{AB}$ 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.

Bell-CHSH inequality and unitary operators

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

Unitary operators are employed to investigate the violation of the Bell-CHSH inequality. The ensuing modifications affecting both classical and quantum bounds are elucidated. The relevance of a particular class of unitary operators whose expectation values are real is pointed out. For these operators, the classical and quantum bounds remain unaltered, being given, respectively, by 2 and 2 2 . As examples, we discuss the explicit realization of phase space Bell-CHSH inequality violation and the Weyl unitary operators for a real scalar field in relativistic Quantum Field Theory.

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.

Violation of Bell-CHSH Inequality Under Global Unitary Operations

Arup Roy, Some Sankar Bhattacharya, Amit Mukherjee +1 more

The action of global unitary operations can have intriguing effects on the non-local manifestations of a quantum state. States which do not violate Bell-CHSH inequality, can violate it when transformed by a global unitary. This phenomena assumes significance when one exercises to augment non-local resources(in terms of violation of Bell-CHSH inequality) from these seemingly useless states(i.e., in terms of non-local tasks). However, equally intriguing is the existence of states from which no non-local resource can be generated with a global unitary. The present work confirms the existence of such a set, pertaining to two qubit states. The set exhibits counter intuitive features by containing within it some entangled states which remain Bell-CHSH local on the action of any unitary. Furthermore through an analytic characterization of the set we lay down a generic prescription through which one can operationally identify states which can generate non-local resources under the action of a unitary on the composite system. It has also been shown that our prescription remains valid for any linear Bell inequality.
