The experiment is described at p26 of http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0402001

In this experiment we see that we sum measurement results and not measure the sum.

Is then the quantum measurement operator not :

$$S=A\otimes B\otimes\mathbb{1_{64}}-\mathbb{1_{4}}\otimes A\otimes B'\otimes\mathbb{1_{16}}+\mathbb{1_{16}}\otimes A'\otimes B\otimes\mathbb{1_{4}}+\mathbb{1_{64}}\otimes A'\otimes B'$$

Since we have the eigenvalues of S $$eig(S)\in\{-4,-2,0,2,4\}$$ ?
 
In other words it seems that in this experiment we do the sum of measurement results $$v(AB)-v(AB')+v(A'B)+v(A'B')$$

We are searching for the operation $$\diamond$$ such that we have $$v(A)+v(B)=v(A\diamond B)$$

This cannot be the usual sum of operators but $$A\diamond B=A\otimes 1+1\otimes B$$ satisfies the condition above.

So that for four terms it is easily generalized and we get that in fact the measurement operator corresponding to a Bell Chsh 2 channel experiment is a huge 256x256 matrix.

Does this makes any sense ?

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
