Correlation Inequalities and Hidden Variables

Anupam Garg, N. David Mermin

Published Oct 25, 1982• 46 citations
Publisher

Abstract

A counterexample is given to a recent suggestion that if the inequalities of Clauser and Horne hold, then there exists a hidden-variable model for a spin-\textonehalf{} correlation experiment of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen type.

Fermionic hidden variables, unlike bosonic ones, allow a local factorization of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations, thus circumventing the Bell-inequality problems.Received 26 May 1981DOI:https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.24.1526©1981 American Physical Society

It is demonstrated that a probability loophole exists for Einstein local hidden variables to violate the Clauser, Horne, Shimony, and Holt contrast.

An objective, local, hidden-variables theory of the Clauser-Horne photon correlation experiment is derived using the method previously used to describe the Bohm-EPR thought experiment (1951).

Quantum states with Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations admitting a hidden-variable model

Reinhard F. Werner

A state of a composite quantum system is called classically correlated if it can be approximated by convex combinations of product states, and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlated otherwise. Any classically correlated state can be modeled by a hidden-variable theory and hence satisfies all generalized Bell's inequalities. It is shown by an explicit example that the converse of this statement is false.

Exclusivity principle and unphysicality of the Garg-Mermin correlation

S. Aravinda, Amit Mukherjee, Manik Banik

The question concerning the physical realizability of a probability distribution is quite important in quantum foundations. Recent studies emphasized a principle which was first indicated by Specker. This principle, called Specker's principle, bounds physically realizable correlations. We study Specker's observation in the scenario that involves three inputs each with two outputs. Then using only linear constraints imposed on joint probabilities by this principle, we reveal the unphysical nature of Garg-Mermin (GM) correlation. Interestingly, GM correlation was proposed to falsify the following suggestion by Fine: if the inequalities of Clauser and Horne (CH) holds, then there exists a deterministic local hidden-variable model for a spin-1/2 correlation experiment of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen type, even when more than two observables are involved on each side. Our result establishes that, unlike in the CH scenario, the local orthogonality principle at single copy level is not equivalent to the no-signaling condition in the GM scenario.
