Measuring outcome correlation for spin-s Bell cat-state and geometric phase induced spin parity effect

Abstract

In terms of quantum probability statistics the Bell inequality (BI) and its violation are extended to spin-$s$ entangled Schrödinger cat-state (called the Bell cat-state) with both parallel and antiparallel spin-polarizations. The BI is never ever violated for the measuring outcome probabilities evaluated over entire two-spin Hilbert space except the spin-$1/2$ entangled states. A universal Bell-type inequality (UBI) denoted by $p_s^{lc}\le 0$ is formulated with the local realistic model under the condition that the measuring outcomes are restricted in the subspace of spin coherent states. A spin parity effect is observed that the UBI can be violated only by the Bell cat-states of half-integer but not the integer spins. The violation of UBI is seen to be a direct result of non-trivial Berry phase between the spin coherent states of south- and north-pole gauges for half-integer spin, while the geometric phase is trivial for the integer spins. A maximum violation bound of UBI is found as $p_s^{\max }$=1, which is valid for arbitrary half-integer spin-$s$ states.
