Supercharged Clovers Hold and Win: Quantum Security Illustrated
Quantum entanglement defies classical intuition by generating correlations that surpass limits set by local realism. Through Bell’s inequality, experiments demonstrate that quantum systems can violate classical bounds—most notably in CHSH tests where observed values approach 2√2 ≈ 2.828, far exceeding the classical maximum of 2. This non-local behavior reveals a fundamental challenge to traditional cryptography, which relies on assumptions of local causality and predictable randomness. The Clover Puzzle, for instance, mirrors this quantum leap: its secure outcomes emerge from entangled states impossible to replicate classically, ensuring that no hidden variable can predict or replicate a “win” without detection.
Experimental results, such as those from loophole-free Bell tests,
