Isomorphism between the Peres and Penrose Proofs of the BKS Theorem in Three Dimensions
نویسنده
چکیده
It is shown that the 33 complex rays in three dimensions used by Penrose to prove the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem have the same orthogonality relations as the 33 real rays of Peres, and therefore provide an isomorphic proof of the theorem. It is further shown that the Peres and Penrose rays are just two members of a continuous three-parameter family of unitarily inequivalent rays that prove the theorem.

It is shown how a proof of the Bell-Kochen-Specker (BKS) theorem given by Kernaghan and Peres can be experimentally realized using a scheme of measurements derived from a related proof of the same theorem by Mermin. It is also pointed out that if this BKS experiment is carried out independently by two distant observers who repeatedly make measurements on a specially correlated state of six qubi...

متن کاملQuantum States Arising from the Pauli Groups, Symmetries and Paradoxes
We investigate multiple qubit Pauli groups and the quantum states/rays arising from their maximal bases. Remarkably, the real rays are carried by a Barnes-Wall lattice BWn (n = 2m). We focus on the smallest subsets of rays allowing a state proof of the BellKochen-Specker theorem (BKS). BKS theorem rules out realistic non-contextual theories by resorting to impossible assignments of rays among a...

A proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities is given by suitably extending a proof of the Bell-Kochen-Specker theorem due to Mermin. This proof is generalized to obtain an inequality-free proof of Bell's theorem based on an entangled state of 2n qubits (with n odd) shared between two distant observers. A generalized CHSH inequality is formulated for 2n qubits and it is shown that quantum mec...
متن کاملA generalization of Martindale's theorem to $(alpha, beta)-$homomorphism
Martindale proved that under some conditions every multiplicative isomorphism between two rings is additive. In this paper, we extend this theorem to a larger class of mappings and conclude that every multiplicative $(alpha, beta)-$derivation is additive.
