Geometric model for the electron spin correlation

Abstract

The quantum formula for the spin correlation of the bipartite singlet spin state, CQ(a,b)C_{Q}(\boldsymbol{a},\boldsymbol{b}), is derived on the basis of a probability distribution ρ(ϕ)\rho(\phi) that is generic, i. e., independent of (a,b)(\boldsymbol{a},\boldsymbol{b}). In line with a previous result obtained within the framework of the quantum formalism, the probability space is partitioned according to the sign of the product A=αβA=\alpha\beta of the individual spin projections α\alpha and β\beta onto a\boldsymbol{a} and b\boldsymbol{b}. A specific partitioning and a corresponding set of realizations {ϕ \phi} are associated with every measurement setting (a,b)(\boldsymbol{a},\boldsymbol{b}); this precludes the transfer of α\alpha or β\beta from CQ(a,b)C_{Q}(\boldsymbol{a},\boldsymbol{b}) to CQ(a,b)C_{Q}(\boldsymbol{a},\boldsymbol{b'}), for bb.\boldsymbol{b'}\neq\boldsymbol{b}. A geometric model that reproduces the spin correlation serves to validate our approach, giving a concrete meaning to the quantum result in terms of a (local random variable) probability distribution.
