Abstract

FINDING: Semi-device-independent entanglement quantification reduces to Bell-inequality violation bounds under fixed local measurements, with a "nondegeneracy" condition separating orthogonal quantum states by dimension. | MATH: Nondegeneracy property — for a Bell inequality $B$ and fixed local measurements $\{M_A^a, M_B^b\}$, if a state $\rho$ of dimension $d$ violates $B$ (i.e., $\langle B\rangle_\rho > \beta_{\text{local}}$), then its orthogonal complement $\rho^\perp$ (with $\text{Tr}(\rho\rho^\perp)=0$) cannot also violate $B$ under the same measurements. This yields a dimension-witness bound: $\text{Ent}(\rho) \geq f(\langle B\rangle_\rho, d)$ where $f$ is monotonic in the Bell violation. | CONNECTION: The orthogonal-state separation mirrors root-system orthogonality (e.g., $A_2$ root lattice angles at 60° and 120°), and the dimension constraint $d$ acts like a lattice rank — violation strength maps to a radial coordinate in a convex set of quantum corre Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.

FINDING: Semi-device-independent entanglement quantification reduces to Bell-inequality violation bounds under fixed local measurements, with a "nondegeneracy" condition separating orthogonal quantum states by dimension. | MATH: Nondegeneracy property — for a Bell inequality (B) and fixed local measurements ({M_A^a, M_B^b}), if a state (\rho) of dimension (d) violates (B) (i.e., (\langle B\rangle_\rho > \beta_{\text{local}})), then its orthogonal complement (\rho^\perp) (with (\text{Tr}(\rho\rho^\perp)=0)) cannot also violate (B) under the same measurements. This yields a dimension-witness bound: (\text{Ent}(\rho) \geq f(\langle B\rangle_\rho, d)) where (f) is monotonic in the Bell violation. | CONNECTION: The orthogonal-state separation mirrors root-system orthogonality (e.g., (A_2) root lattice angles at 60° and 120°), and the dimension constraint (d) acts like a lattice rank — violation strength maps to a radial coordinate in a convex set of quantum corre Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
