The passage around this formula
…they require quantum mechanics at all. Nothing in , , or forces the fragments to be quantum-correlated in a way a classical broadcast could not reproduce. Replace the spin- j rotor with a single classical variable drawn once from the same prior and handed to N independent classical sensors, each corrupted by rotation-equivariant noise tuned to match the quantum construction’s per-fragment error rate. That model satisfies the covariance requirement, clears the…
