Simulation of two spin-$s$ singlet correlations for all $s$ involving spin measurements

Abstract

In a recent paper [A. Ahanj et al., quant-ph/0603053], we gave a classical protocol to simulate quantum correlations corresponding to the spin $s$ singlet state for the infinite sequence of spins satisfying $2s+1=2^n$. In the present paper, we have generalized this result by giving a classical protocol to exactly simulate quantum correlations implied by the spin-$s$ singlet state corresponding to all integer as well as half-integer spin values $s$. The class of measurements we consider here are only those corresponding to spin observables, as has been done in the above-mentioned paper. The required amount of communication is found to be $\lceil {\log }_2(s+1)\rceil$ in the worst case scenario, where $\lceil x\rceil$ is the least integer greater than or equal to $x$.
