• Abstract: The term Bell's theorem refers to a set of closely related results which imply that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden variable theories. Bell's inequality is the statement that if measurements are performed independently on two space-like separated particles of an entangled pair, the assumption that outcomes depend on hidden variables implies an upper bound on the correlations between the outcomes. Quantum mechanics predicts correlations which violate this upper bound. The CHSH inequality is a specific Bell inequality in which classical correlation (i.e. if local hidden variables exist) can take the maximum value of 2. Quantum mechanics violates this bound, allowing for a higher bound on the correlation, which can take the maximum value $2\sqrt{2}$, known as the Tsirelson bound. Popescu and Rohrlich showed that the assumption of relativistic causality allows for an even higher bound on the CHSH correlation, this value being 4. Why is the bound coming from causality higher than the Tsirelson bound? Are there relativistic causal dynamical theories which violate the Tsirelson bound? In the present paper we answer this question in the affirmative. We show that the pre-quantum theory of trace dynamics, from which quantum theory is emergent as a thermodynamic approximation, permits the CHSH correlation to take values higher than $2\sqrt{2}$. We interpret our findings to suggest that quantum theory is approximate, and emergent from the more general theory of trace dynamics.

  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.
