RotationalInvariance as an Additional Constraint on Local Realism

Abstract: Rotational invariance of physical laws is a generally accepted principle. We show that it leads to an additional external constraint on local realistic models of physical phenomena involving measurements of multiparticle spin 1 2 correlations. This new constraint rules out such models even in some situations in which standard Bell inequalities allow for explicit construction of such models. The whole analysis is performed without any additional assumptions on the form of local realistic models.PACS numbers: 03… Show more

“…Instead of averaging over random u n , R can also be estimated from correlations along orthogonal local directions x, y, z. Let us introduce a quantity which we refer to as the length of correlations:Since C is invariant under local unitary operations (local rotations) [27], and the random correlations are the average of C over random rotations applied to local bases x, y, z, it is merely a mathematical step to obtain:where the factor of 1/3 for every observer takes into account the fact that rotating one axis over a 4π solid angle also makes the other two axes rotate over a 4π solid angle. The following theorem shows a universal lower bound on the random correlations in every pure state |ψ of N qubits.…”

“…One can show that every vertex of the convex polytope, V abcd,x , saturates the left or right hand side inequality in (17)involving the sign admissible sign function S. Since the inequalities are linear, therefore they must be satisfied by any convex combination of the vertices.…”

“…We shall not follow this approach here, as it seems to be incapable of generating the full set of Bell inequalities. Also the methods of [16] and [17] will be not discussed here, as they do not follow from the analysis of the geometry of the polytope of local realistic models (for this concept see [18]). …”

“…The results of first argumentation, dealing with consequences for the assumption of rotational invariance for tests of non-locality, have been published [3]- [5]. Our intention is to engage with and expand upon these same results with mixture of ten-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state [6].…”
