Abstract

According to von Neumann, the global Hamiltonian of the whole universe must be Hermitian in order to keep the eigenvalues real and to construct a self-consistent quantum theory. In addition to the open system approach by introducing environmental degrees of freedom to a small system, a global Hermitian Hamiltonian can also be generated through the dilation from a small Hilbert space. For example, a local non-Hermitian PT-symmetric system can be simulated with a global Hermitian one by the Naimark dilation. Recently, by introducing local measurements and investigating the correlation functions of outcomes, the internal nonlocality in such dilated Hermitian systems has been revealed, but only for a special case with a twofold structure. In this paper, we extend such a discussion to the generalized case when the twofold structure breaks. The internal nonlocality is discussed with different correlation pictures and the corresponding correlation bounds. Our results provide a device-independent test of the reliability of the simulation in the global Hermiticity.
