• Title: Electron spin correlations: a geometric representation
• Authors: Ana Mar\'ia Cetto
• Abstract summary: An analysis is made within the quantum formalism of the probabilistic features of the electron spin correlation, with the purpose of clarifying the concepts of contextuality and measurement dependence. This endows the spin correlation with a clear probabilistic meaning and leaves the door open for a possible physical image of the electron spin, as discussed at the end of the paper.

• Abstract: An analysis is made within the quantum formalism of the probabilistic features of the electron spin correlation, with the purpose of clarifying the concepts of contextuality and measurement dependence. The quantum formulas for the spin correlation are then derived on the basis of a probability distribution function and its associated geometric representation, both for a pair of projections of a single-particle spin and for the bipartite system in singlet spin state. This endows the spin correlation with a clear probabilistic meaning and leaves the door open for a possible physical image of the electron spin, as discussed at the end of the paper.

• A Cooper-pair beam splitter as a feasible source of entangled electrons [0.0]
  We investigate the generation of an entangled electron pair emerging from a system composed of two quantum dots attached to a superconductor Cooper pair beam splitter. We take into account three processes: Crossed Andreev Reflection, cotuneling, and Coulomb interaction. Several entanglement quantifiers, including quantum mutual information, negativity, and concurrence, are employed to validate our findings.

  We prove that quantum theory admits the most general rotational correlations for spins 0, 1/2, and 1. We also prove a metrological game where beyond-quantum resources of spin 3/2 outperform all quantum resources of the same spin. Results illuminate the question of how space constrains the structure of quantum theory.

  A quantum simulation of magnetism in trapped-ion systems makes use of the crystal vibrations to mediate pairwise interactions between spins. These interactions can be accounted for by a long-wavelength relativistic theory, where the phonons are described by a coarse-grained Klein-Gordon field. We show that thermal effects, which can be controlled by laser cooling, can unveil this flow through the appearance of thermal masses in interacting QFTs.
