On the Origins of Quantum Correlations    [PDF]

Joy Christian

It is well known that quantum correlations are not only more disciplined (and
hence stronger) compared to classical correlations, but they are more
disciplined in a mathematically very precise sense. This raises an important
physical question: What is responsible for making quantum correlations so much
more disciplined? Here we explain the observed discipline of quantum
correlations by identifying the symmetries of our physical space with those of
a parallelized 7-sphere. We substantiate this identification by proving that
any quantum correlation can be understood as a classical, local-realistic
correlation among a set of points of a parallelized 7-sphere.
