Quantum Bell inequalities from Information Causality – tight for Macroscopic Locality

Mariami Gachechiladze, Bartłomiej Bąk, Marcin Pawłowski +1 more

In a Bell test, the set of observed probability distributions complying with the principle of local realism is fully characterized by Bell inequalities. Quantum theory allows for a violation of these inequalities, which is famously regarded as Bell nonlocality. However, finding the maximal degree of this violation is, in general, an undecidable problem. Consequently, no algorithm can be used to derive quantum analogs of Bell inequalities, which would characterize the set of probability distributions allowed by quantum theory. Here we present a family of inequalities, which approximate the set of quantum correlations in Bell scenarios where the number of settings or outcomes can be arbitrary. We derive these inequalities from the principle of Information Causality, and thus, we do not assume the formalism of quantum mechanics. Moreover, we identify a subspace in the correlation space for which the derived inequalities give the necessary and sufficient conditions for the principle of Macroscopic Locality. As a result, we show that in this subspace, the principle of Information Causality is strictly stronger than the principle of Macroscopic Locality.

The relation between Hardy's non-locality and violation of Bell inequality

Yang Xiang

We give an analytic quantitative relation between Hardy's non-locality and Bell operator. We find that Hardy's non-locality is a sufficient condition for the violation of Bell inequality, the upper bound of Hardy's non-locality allowed by information causality just corresponds to Tsirelson bound of Bell inequality and the upper bound of Hardy's non-locality allowed by the principle of no-signaling just corresponds to the algebraic maximum of Bell operator. Then we study the Cabello's argument of Hardy's non-locality (a generalization of Hardy's argument) and find a similar relation between it and violation of Bell inequality. Finally, we give a simple derivation of the bound of Hardy's non-locality under the constraint of information causality with the aid of the above derived relation between Hardy's non-locality and Bell operator.

Information Causality Characterizes the Set of Quantum Correlations in the Simplest Bell Scenario

Mariami Gachechiladze, Nikolai Miklin

Information causality (IC) was introduced as a physical principle constraining correlations in non-signaling theories. Whether it can recover the exact quantum correlation boundary, beyond Uffink's inequality, has remained an open question. Here, we combine its generalized formulation for correlated inputs with a new communication protocol to derive quantum Bell inequalities that exactly characterize the quantum correlations in the simplest bipartite Bell scenario, with two binary measurements. In particular, we derive the Tsirelson-Landau-Masanes criterion directly from IC. Thus, the generalized IC implies macroscopic locality, while we also present macroscopically local correlations that violate the generalized IC. This establishes that generalized IC is a strictly stronger principle in this scenario. Together with our earlier result that generalized IC implies a nontrivial communication complexity principle, these findings strengthen the role of information causality in explaining the limits of quantum nonlocality and provide a systematic route to deriving tighter bounds on the set of quantum correlations in more general Bell scenarios.
