Mermin Devices for Entangled States
Analysis
Key Takeaways
- •Introduces Mermin devices for analyzing generalized Dicke states.
- •Investigates the applicability of Mermin's instructional sets to describe the behavior of various entangled states.
- •Identifies which entangled states allow for a local hidden variable description based on Mermin's framework.
“The paper shows that the GHZ and Dicke states of three qubits and the GHZ state of four qubits do not allow a description based on Mermin's instructional sets, while one of the generalized Dicke states of four qubits does allow such a description.”
