A commuting-operator strategy over question alphabets X, Y and answer
alphabets A, B: a complex Hilbert space H, a unit vector ψ, and
POVM families E x (Alice) and F y (Bob) of positive continuous linear
maps summing to 1, with every Alice effect commuting with every Bob
effect. [02_preliminaries.tex; audit def commuting_strategy]

Instances For
The correlation table of a strategy:
p(a, b | x, y) = ⟪ψ, E_x^a F_y^b ψ⟫ (a real number; the inner product is
real because the commuting product of self-adjoint effects is
self-adjoint). [02_preliminaries.tex, success-probability display]
Instances For
Each Alice–Bob joint effect is a positive operator: a commuting
product of positive operators is positive (Commute.mul_nonneg, via the
continuous functional calculus on H →L[ℂ] H and the Loewner order).
The correlation's defining inner product is real: E_x^a F_y^b is
symmetric (commuting product of positive operators), so ⟪ψ, EFψ⟫ equals
its own conjugate. Certifies that the .re in correlation is lossless
(DIFFERENCES.md D7).
Completeness: for every question pair the answers exhaust the state:
∑_{a,b} p(a,b|x,y) = 1.
The trivial strategy on H = ℂ: answers a fixed pair deterministically.
Witnesses nonemptiness of the strategy space.
