Abstract

The tomographic approach to quantum mechanics is revisited as a direct tool to investigate violation of Bell-like inequalities. Since quantum tomograms are well defined probability distributions, the tomographic approach is emphasized to be the most natural one to compare the predictions of classical and quantum theory. Examples of inequalities for two qubits an two qutrits are considered in the tomographic probability representation of spin states.

Tomographic entropic inequalities in the probability representation of quantum mechanics

Margarita A. Man’ko, Vladimir I. Man’ko

A review of the tomographic-probability representation of classical and quantum states is presented. The tomographic entropies and entropic uncertainty relations are discussed in connection with ambiguities in the interpretation of the state tomograms which are considered either as a set of the probability distributions of random variables depending on extra parameters or as a single joint probability distribution of these random variables and random parameters with specific properties of the marginals. Examples of optical tomograms of photon states, symplectic tomograms, and unitary spin tomograms of qudits are given. A new universal integral inequality for generic wave function is obtained on the base of tomographic entropic uncertainty relations.

General Bell-CHSH type and entropic inequalities based on quantum tomograms

Loran V. Akopyan, Vladimir I. Man’ko

Review of Bell-CHSH type and entropic inequalities in composite quantum correlated systems in the probability representation of states is presented. The upper bounds for some new Bell-CHSH type inequalities within the framework of classical probability theory and in quantum tomography are compared. Violation of Bell-CHSH type inequalities are shown explicitly using the method of averaging in tomographic picture of quantum states. Joint tomographic entropies of multiqubit systems are studied. Limitations on inequalities for tomographic entropies are obtained. A negative result of possible connection between the violation of entropic and Bell-CHSH type inequalities in multi-partite states is reported.

Quantum tomography and nonlocality

Evgeny V Shchukin, Stefano Mancini

We present a tomographic approach to the study of quantum nonlocality in multipartite systems. Bell inequalities for tomograms belonging to a generic tomographic scheme are derived by exploiting tools from convex geometry. Then, possible violations of these inequalities are discussed in specific tomographic realizations providing some explicit examples.

Bell-type inequalities and upper bounds of multi-qudit states

Loran V. Akopyan, Vladimir I. Man’ko

Multi-qudit systems are studied in tomographic probability representations of quantum qudit states. Results of calculations for Bell-type numbers within the framework of classical probability theory and in quantum tomography are compared. Violation of Bell-type inequalities are shown explicitly using the method of averaging in tomographic picture of quantum states.

Contextuality and probability representation of quantum states

Alexey A. Strakhov, Vladimir I. Man’ko

The contextuality and noncontextuality notions are considered in framework of probability representation of quantum states. Example of qutrit states and violation of the noncontextuality inequalities are presented by using the spin tomogram and tomographic symbols of the observables.
