Separation theorems and Bell inequalities in algebraic quantum mechanics

Quantum Physics 2023-06-06 v1

Abstract

The paper discusses the concept of separation of quantum mechanical systems in the algebraic approach. We review known theorems, then establish a link between the C*-algebraic and the corresponding W*-algebraic concepts. A characterization of separation in terms of Bell inequalities, due to Raggio (1988), is given a C*-algebraic formulation. Finally, we comment on the implications for the understanding of the Bell inequalities.
