• Title: Bell's Inequality and Heisenberg Measurements on Relativistic Quantum Systems
• Authors: Ulrich Faigle
• Abstract summary: This note extends the theory of Heisenberg measurements to quantum systems with representations in general geometric spaces. Probability interpretations of quantum measurements may depend not only on the measuring instruments and the system states but also on the geometric space in which the measurements are conducted. An explicit numerical example is given of a Heisenberg measurement with a complete set of common observables that violates Bell's inequality in Minkowski space but, mutatatis mutandis satisfies it in Hilbert space.

• Abstract: Bell's inequality plays an important role with respect to the Einsteinian question about the physical reality of quantum theory. While Bell's inequality is usually viewed within the geometric framework of a Hilbert space quantum model, the present note extends the theory of Heisenberg measurements to quantum systems with representations in general orthogonal geometric spaces and, in particular, the Minkowski spaces of relativity theory. A Feynmanian numerical example exhibits two measurements that admit a joint probabilistic interpretation in Minkowski space while they are not jointly observable in Hilbert space. The analysis shows that probabilistic interpretations of quantum measurements may depend not only on the measuring instruments and the system states but also on the geometric space in which the measurements are conducted. In particular, an explicit numerical example is given of a Heisenberg measurement with a complete set of common observables that violates Bell's inequality in Minkowski space but, mutatatis mutandis, satisfies it in Hilbert space.

  We show that processes in local effective theories can be spoofed with a quantum system with fewer degrees of freedom. We highlight how approximate overlapping qubits are conceptually connected to Hilbert space dimension verification, degree-of-freedom counting in black holes and holography.

• A Quantum Theory with Non-collapsing Measurements [0.0]
  A collapse-free version of quantum theory is introduced to study the role of the projection postulate. We assume "passive" measurements that do not update quantum states while measurement outcomes still occur probabilistically. The resulting quantum-like theory has only one type of dynamics, namely unitary evolution.

  We find that quantum projective measurement can be passive in a way which is impossible in finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. The avoidance of quantum Zeno effect can also be understood as avoidance of a quantum version of gambler's fallacy.

• Quantum indistinguishability through exchangeable desirable gambles [69.62715388742298]
  Two particles are identical if all their intrinsic properties, such as spin and charge, are the same. Quantum mechanics is seen as a normative and algorithmic theory guiding an agent to assess her subjective beliefs represented as (coherent) sets of gambles. We show how sets of exchangeable observables (gambles) may be updated after a measurement and discuss the issue of defining entanglement for indistinguishable particle systems.

• Localizable quantum coherence [0.0]
  Coherence is a fundamental notion in quantum mechanics, defined relative to a reference basis. We put forward a notion of localizable coherence as the coherence that can be stored in a particular subsystem. We show that it can be applied to reveal the real-space structure of states of interest in quantum many-body theory.
