All tight multipartite Bell correlation inequalities for an arbitrary number of dichotomic observables per observer

Abstract

Derivation of the full set of Bell inequalities involving correlation functions, for two parties, with binary observables, and N possible local settings is not as easy as it seemed. The proof of v1 is wrong. Additionaly one can find a counterexample, which will be presented soon. Thus our thesis is dead. Still the series of Bell inequalities discussed in the manuscript (v1) form a necessary condition for local realism, and are tight. They are tight and complete (sufficient) only for N=3 settings per observer (as shown in quant-ph/0611086, fortunately using an entirely different approach).

Explicit form of correlation-function three-setting tight Bell inequalities for three qubits

Marcin Wieśniak, Piotr Badziąg, Marek Żukowski

We present a method to derive explicit forms of tight correlation-function Bell inequalities for three systems and dichotomic observables, which involve three settings for each observer. We also give sufficient and necessary conditions for quantum predictions to satisfy the new inequalities.

Avenues to generalising Bell inequalities

Marcin Karczewski, Giovanni Scala, Antonio Mandarino +2 more

Abstract Characterizing the set of all Bell inequalities is a notably hard task. An insightful method of solving it in case of Bell correlation inequalities for scenarios with two dichotomic measurements per site—for arbitrary number of parties—was given in references [2001 Phys. Rev. A 64 010102(R)] and [2001 Phys. Rev. A 64 032112]. Using complex-valued correlation functions, we generalize their approach to a broader class of Bell scenarios, in which the parties may choose from more than two multi-outcome measurements. Although the resulting families of Bell inequalities are not always tight, their coefficients have an intuitively understandable structure. We probe their usefulness by numerically testing their ability to detect Bell nonclassicality in simple interferometric experiments. Moreover, we identify a similar structure in the CGLMP inequality expressed in a correlation-based form, which allows us to generalise it to three parties.

Tight Multipartite Bell's Inequalities Involving Many Measurement Settings

Wiesław Laskowski, Tomasz Paterek, Marek Żukowski +1 more

We derive tight Bell's inequalities for N>2 observers involving more than two alternative measurement settings. We give a necessary and sufficient condition for a general quantum state to violate the new inequalities. The inequalities are violated by some classes of states, for which all standard Bell's inequalities with two measurement settings per observer are satisfied.

All-multipartite Bell-correlation inequalities for two dichotomic observables per site

Reinhard F. Werner, Michael M. Wolf

We construct a set of ${2}^{{2}^{n}}$ independent Bell-correlation inequalities for n-partite systems with two dichotomic observables each, which is complete in the sense that the inequalities are satisfied if and only if the correlations considered allow a local classical model. All these inequalities can be summarized in a single, albeit nonlinear inequality. We show that quantum correlations satisfy this condition provided the state has positive partial transpose with respect to any grouping of the n systems into two subsystems. We also provide an efficient algorithm for finding the maximal quantum-mechanical violation of each inequality, and show that the maximum is always attained for the generalized GHZ state.

Bell Inequalities for Continuous-Variable Correlations

Eric G. Cavalcanti, C. J. Foster, M. D. Reid +1 more

We derive a new class of correlation Bell-type inequalities. The inequalities are valid for any number of outcomes of two observables per each of n parties, including continuous and unbounded observables. We show that there are no first-moment correlation Bell inequalities for that scenario, but such inequalities can be found if one considers at least second moments. The derivation stems from a simple variance inequality by setting local commutators to zero. We show that above a constant detector efficiency threshold, the continuous-variable Bell violation can survive even in the macroscopic limit of large n. This method can be used to derive other well-known Bell inequalities, shedding new light on the importance of non-commutativity for violations of local realism.
