Popescu-Rohrlich Boxes in Quantum Measure Theory

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

Two results are proved at the quantal level in Sorkin's hierarchy of measure theories. One is a strengthening of an existing bound on the correlations in the EPR-Bohm setup under the assumption that the probabilities admit a strongly positive joint quantal measure. It is also proved that any set of no-signalling probabilities, for two distant experimenters with a choice of two alternative experiments each and two possible outcomes per experiment, admits a joint quantal measure, though one that is not necessarily strongly positive.
