Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt-type Bell inequalities involving a party with two or three local binary settings

Abstract

We construct a simple algorithm to generate any Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt- (CHSH-) type Bell inequality involving a party with two local binary measurements from two CHSH-type inequalities without this party. The algorithm readily generalizes to situations where the additional observer uses three measurement settings. There, each inequality involving the additional party is constructed from three inequalities with this party excluded. With this generalization at hand, we construct and analyze a class of symmetric inequalities for four observers and three experimental settings per observer.

Compact Bell inequalities for multipartite experiments

Yu-Chun Wu, Marek Żukowski, Jing‐Ling Chen +1 more

A method for construction of multipartite Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt- (CHSH-) type Bell inequalities, for the case of local binary observables, is presented. The standard CHSH-type Bell inequalities can be obtained as special cases. An iterative method for deriving $(N+1)$-partite CHSH-type Bell inequalities from $N$-partite ones is derived. As an application, compact Bell inequalities for eight observers involving just four correlation functions are proposed. They require much less experimental effort than standard methods and thus are experimentally friendly in multiphoton experiments.

A Method for Systematic Construction of Bell-Like Inequalities and a Proposal of a New Type of Test

T. Isobe, S. Tanimura

The Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (BCHSH) inequality, which is proven in the context of the local hidden-variable theory, has been used as a test to reveal the failure of the hidden-variable theory and to prove the validity of the quantum theory. We note that the violation of the BCHSH inequality is caused by the noncommutativity of quantum observables and find a systematic method of constructing generalizations of the BCHSH inequality. This method is used to invent a new quantity, which is defined in a two-qubit system and satisfies a new type of inequality. This provides a fair test of the quantum theory. Remaining problems are also discussed.

All Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt polytopes

Stefano Pironio

The correlations that admit a local hidden-variable model are described by a family of polytopes, whose facets are the Bell inequalities. The Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (CHSH) inequality is the simplest such Bell inequality and is a facet of every Bell polytope. We investigate for which Bell polytopes the CHSH inequality is also the unique (non-trivial) facet. We prove that the CHSH inequality is the unique facet for all bipartite polytopes where at least one party has a binary choice of dichotomic measurements, irrespective of the number of measurement settings and outcomes for the other party. Based on numerical results, we conjecture that it is also the unique facet for all bipartite polytopes involving two measurements per party where at least one measurement is dichotomic. Finally, we remark that these two situations can be the only ones for which the CHSH inequality is the unique facet, i.e., any polytope that does not correspond to one of these two cases necessarily has facets that are not of the CHSH form. As a byproduct of our approach, we derive a new family of facet inequalities. This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to ‘50 years of Bell’s theorem’.

Homogenization of Bell inequalities

Yu-Chun Wu, Marek Żukowski

A technique, which we call homogenization, is applied to transform Clauser and Horne- (CH)-type Bell inequalities that contain lower-order correlations into CH, Shimony, and Holt- (CHSH)-type Bell inequalities, which are defined for highest-order correlation functions. A homogenization leads to inequalities involving more settings, that is, a choice of one more observable is possible for each party. We show that this technique preserves the tightness of Bell inequalities: A homogenization of a tight CH-type Bell inequality is still a tight CHSH-type Bell inequality. As an example, we obtain $3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}3\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}3$ CHSH-type Bell inequalities by the homogenization of $2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}2$ CH-type Bell inequalities derived by Sliwa [Phys. Lett. A 317, 165 (2003)].

More nonlocality with less entanglement in Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt experiments using inefficient detectors

Daniel Dilley, Eric Chitambar

It is well-known that in certain scenarios weakly entangled states can generate stronger nonlocal effects than their maximally entangled counterparts. In this paper, we consider violations of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality when one party has inefficient detectors, a scenario known as an asymmetric Bell experiment. For any fixed detection efficiency, we derive a simple upper bound on the entanglement needed to violate the inequality by more than some specified amount $\ensuremath{\kappa}\ensuremath{\ge}0$. When $\ensuremath{\kappa}=0$, the amount of entanglement in all states violating the inequality goes to zero as the detection efficiency approaches $50%$ from above. We finally consider the scenario in which detection inefficiency arises for only one choice of local measurement. In this case, it is shown that the CHSH inequality can always be violated for any nonzero detection efficiency and any choice of noncommuting measurements.

Variant of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality

Zeqian Chen

We construct a Bell inequality from the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality for two qubits that provides a stronger bound on the correlations of entangled states than allowed by the CHSH inequality. The argument involved here can be generalized to $n$ qubits. The inequalities obtained are violated by all the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of multiqubits.

The standard CHSH-type Bell inequalities can be obtained as special cases. An iterative method for deriving (N+1)(N+1)(N+1)-partite CHSH-type Bell inequalities from NNN-partite ones is derived.
