On the representations of Bell's operators in Quantum Mechanics

Quantum Physics 2023-06-14 v3

Abstract

We point out that, when the dimension of the Hilbert space is greater than two, Bell's operators entering the Bell-CHSH inequality exhibit unitarily inequivalent representations. Although the Bell-CHSH inequality turns out to be violated, the size of the violation is different for different representations, the maximum violation being given by Tsirelson's bound. The feature relies on a pairing mechanism between the modes of the Hilbert space of the system.
