Rotational Properties and GHZ Contradictions in N-Qubit Systems

Abstract

Rotational symmetries of N-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states directly exhibit their nonlocality and render transparent the many possible measurements that produce absolute contradictions with local realism. While N measurements fix the assumed elements of reality, an exponentially growing number of absolute contradictions occurs. Operators that represent the detector settings provide a faithful representation of the symmetry group, and demonstrate Kochen-Specker contextuality.
