Bias in Local Spin Measurements from Deformed Symmetries

We study bipartite spin-singlet correlations when rotational symmetry is described by a quantum group rather than an ordinary Lie group. We show that, even though the single-spin observables act as in the undeformed theory, the non-trivial coproduct reshapes the notion of "total" symmetry and leads to a deformed analogue of the Bell singlet state. We show that implementing local measurements with the conventional tensor-factor observables yields a striking effect: perfect anticorrelation is preserved, yet the one-site outcome statistics become deformation-dependent and biased. Using instead the symmetry-covariant, R-matrix-dressed embedding of local observables restores unbiased statistics while maintaining perfect anticorrelation. Our results demonstrate that, in a quantum group symmetry setting, strict tensor-factor locality is not stable under the symmetry and must be replaced by a braided notion of locality to formulate consistent local measurements.
