Local hidden-variable models and negative-probability measures
نویسنده
چکیده
Elaborating on a previous work by Han et al. [Phys. Lett. A 221 (1996) 283], we provide a general, basis-independent proof of the necessity of negative probability measures in certain local hidden-variable (LHV) models giving a violation of the Bell-CHSH inequality. Moreover, we obtain general solutions for LHV-induced probability measures that reproduce any consistent set of probabilities. PACS: 03.65.Bz

Contextual qubit models from Wigner functions
Wigner functions, and other quasi-probability distributions, have been an important tool in quantum optics for a long time. A quasi-probability distribution is a representation of a quantum state with certain properties. In particular it is a real-valued representation of the state. Of particular interest are states for which a Wigner function is non-negative. Spekkens showed such sets of state...
متن کاملExistence of Hidden Variables Having Only Upper Probabilities
Great attention has been given to the exact formulation of locality conditions in the existence of hidden variables for quantum mechanical configurations that do not satisfy Bell's inequalities. In contrast, almost no attention has been given to examining what happens if the requirements for a probability measure are relaxed. The purpose of this paper is to show that local hidden variables do...
متن کاملNon-Kolmogorov probability models and modified Bell’s inequality
We analyse the proof of Bell’s inequality and demonstrate that this inequality is related to one particular model of probability theory, namely Kolmogorov measure-theoretical axiomatics, 1933. We found a (numerical) statistical correction to Bell’s inequality. Such an additional term ǫφ in the right hand side of Bell’s inequality can be considered as a probability invariant of a quantum state φ...

It is shown that Bell’s counterfactuals admit joint quasiprobability distributions (i.e. joint distributions exist, but may not be nonnegative). A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence among them of a true probability distribution (i.e. non-negative) is Bell’s inequalities. This, in turn, is a necessary condition for the existence of local hidden variables. The treatment is amena...
متن کاملEstimation of portfolio efficient frontier by different measures of risk via DEA
In this paper, linear Data Envelopment Analysis models are used to estimate Markowitz efficient frontier. Conventional DEA models assume non-negative values for inputs and outputs. however, variance is the only variable in these models that takes non-negative values. Therefore, negative data models which the risk of the assets had been used as an input and expected return was the output are uti...
