An Orthogonal Bell Pair in the Local-Global Residual

Abstract

Orthogonal Bell pure states have identical complete local marginals.

Definition 1.1 (Negative-phase Bell coefficients).

Lean statement: D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.bellMinusCoefficients

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.bellMinusCoefficients (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The named two-by-two coefficient matrix has entries one and minus one on the diagonal and zero off the diagonal.

Definition 1.2 (Negative-phase Bell vector).

Lean statement: D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.bellMinusVector

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.bellMinusVector (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Dividing the named coefficient matrix by the square root of two gives the vector represented by 00 minus 11.

Definition 1.3 (Negative-phase Bell density).

Lean statement: D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.bellMinusDensity

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.bellMinusDensity (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The outer product of the negative-phase Bell vector with its adjoint is its named rank-one density matrix.

Definition 1.4 (Two-qubit local-global residual).

Lean statement: D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.twoQubitLocalGlobalResidual

Formalization. D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.twoQubitLocalGlobalResidual (✓ std3).

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

This is the two-factor instance of the source definition. It consists of distinct positive trace-one matrices whose two canonical partial traces agree.

Theorem 1.5 (The orthogonal Bell pair is locally indistinguishable).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.bell_pair_local_global_residual (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The imported positive-phase witness supplies positivity, trace one, rank one, and both local marginals for the first state.

Direct finite calculations give the same data for the negative-phase state. Their off-diagonal density entries differ, while the inner product of the defining vectors is zero.

Theorem 1.6 (Complete local data do not determine the global state).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.two_qubit_local_global_residual_nonempty (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

The positive- and negative-phase Bell densities give an explicit member of the two-qubit local-global residual.

Theorem 1.7 (Degenerate equal pairs are excluded).

Proof. Machine-checked in Lean as D5/S3/Quantum/Entanglement/BellPairLocalGlobalResidual.diagonal_pair_not_mem_two_qubit_local_global_residual (✓ std3). ∎

Source. Repository-derived.

Commentary.

Every self-pair is excluded by global distinctness. In particular, this covers the zero pair, identity pair, and every constant self-pair.
