Abstract

The observation of the nonlocal properties of multipartite entangled states is of great importance for quantum information protocols. Such properties, however, are fragile and may not be observed in the presence of decoherence exhibited by practical physical systems. In this work we investigate the robustness of the nonlocality of symmetric states experiencing phase and amplitude damping, using suitable Bell inequalities based on an extended version of Hardy's paradox. We derive thresholds for observing nonlocality in terms of experimental noise parameters and demonstrate the importance of the choice of the measurement bases for optimizing the robustness. For $W$ states, in the phase damping case, we show that this choice can lead to a trade-off between obtaining a high violation of the nonlocal test and optimal robustness thresholds; we also show that in this setting the nonlocality of $W$ states is particularly robust for a large number of qubits. Furthermore, we apply our techniques to the discrimination of symmetric states belonging to different entanglement classes, thus illustrating their usefulness for a wide range of practical quantum information applications.

Nonlocality of Symmetric States

Zizhu Wang, Damian Markham

In this Letter we study the nonlocal properties of permutation symmetric states of n qubits. We show that all these states are nonlocal, via an extended version of the Hardy paradox and associated inequalities. Natural extensions of both the paradoxes and the inequalities are developed which relate different entanglement classes to different nonlocal features. Belonging to a given entanglement class will guarantee the violation of associated Bell inequalities which see the persistence of correlations to subsets of players, whereas there are states outside that class which do not violate.

Testing quantum nonlocality of two-qubit entangled states under decoherence

Qiang Hu, Bai-Yun Zeng, Peng-Yu Gu +2 more

The quantum nonlocal correlation of quantum states plays an important role in the quantum information and quantum computing protocols. However, during the transmission of entangled states in the quantum channel, they will inevitably interact with the environment, resulting in the degradation of the coherence and then weakening the quantum nonlocal correlation. Using a high probability quantum nonlocal correlation testing scheme based on Hardy-type paradox, in this paper we investigate the quantum nonlocal correlation testing of two-qubit polarization entangled states when they transmit through amplitude damping channel (ADC), phase damping channel (PDC) and depolarization damping channel (DC). The results show that DC has a great influence on the quantum nonlocal correlation testing, while PDC has little influence on the quantum nonlocal correlation testing of quantum states. Finally, this paper also gives condition for the successful quantum nonlocal correlation testing of ADC under weak measurement and quantum weak measurement reversal operation. The results show that when the intensity of weak measurement increases, the influence of ADC decoherence effect on quantum nonlocal correlation testing can be effectively reduced.

Non-localité des états symétriques et ses applications en informatique quantique

Zizhu Wang

This thesis is about the nonlocal properties of permuation symmetric states and the potential usefulness of such properties in quantum information processing. The nonlocality of almost all symmetric states, except Dicke states is shown by constructing an n-party Hardy paradox. With the help of the Majorana representation, suitable measurement settings can be chosen for these symmetric states which satisfy the paradox. An extended CH inequality can be derived from the probabilistic conditions of the paradox. The inequality is shown to be violated by all symmetric states. The nonlocality properties and entanglement properties of symmetric states are also discussed and compared, natbly with respect to persistency and monogamy. It is shown that te degeneracy of some symmetric states is linked to the persistency, which provides a way to use device independent tests to separte nonlocality classes. It is also shown that the inequalities used to show the nonlocality of all symmetric states are not strictly monogamous.A new inequality for Dicke states is shown to be monogamous when the number of parties goes to infinity. But all these inequalites can not detect genuine nonlocality. Applications of nonlocality to communication complexity and Bayesian game theory are also discussed.

Multipartite quantum nonlocality under local decoherence

Rafael Chaves, Daniel Cavalcanti, Leandro Aolita +1 more

We study the nonlocal properties of two-qubit maximally entangled and $N$-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states under local decoherence. We show that the (non)resilience of entanglement under local depolarization or dephasing is not necessarily equivalent to the (non)resilience of Bell-inequality violations. Apart from entanglement and Bell-inequality violations, we consider also nonlocality as quantified by the nonlocal content of correlations and provide several examples of anomalous behaviors, both in the bipartite and multipartite cases. In addition, we study the practical implications of these anomalies on the usefulness of noisy Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states as resources for nonlocality-based physical protocols given by communication complexity problems.

Dynamics of nonlocality in bipartite quantum systems subjected to global noise environment

Fan‐Zhen Kong, Junlong Zhao

Abstract We investigate the Bell nonlocality dynamics of bipartite quantum systems under three distinct types of global decoherence environments: global amplitude damping noise, globally correlated classical noise, and global phase-damping noise. By combining numerical optimization techniques over Bell inequalities—specifically the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequality—and describing the global noise-evolution process of a two-qubit system with the Kraus operator formalism, we systematically characterize the evolution of quantum nonlocality in a two-qubit system. Our results demonstrate that, under a global amplitude damping noise environment, precise temporal modulation of the amplitude damping channel enables the composite system to retain maximal Bell-nonlocal correlations in its final state. In contrast, globally correlated classical noise fields induce exponential suppression of Bell inequality violations. Remarkably, the systems subjected to global phase-damping noise exhibit pronounced robustness to nonlocality. These findings highlight the critical role of global noise in nonlocality dynamics.

Robustness of quantum correlations in photonic systems under non-Markovian dephasing: theoretical analysis in the experimental range

K. Berrada, Smail B. Bougouffa

We investigate the preservation and dynamics of entanglement and Bell nonlocality in a two-photon system subject to local dephasing, particularly emphasizing environments exhibiting non-Markovian memory effects. By analyzing the interplay between entanglement, as measured by concurrence, and Bell inequality violation, we identify time regions where Bell inequality is not violated, even when concurrence remains high. This indicates that strongly entangled states do not always exhibit nonclassical correlations with certainty. Our study further explores the effects of refractive index variations, spectral width, and interaction symmetry, demonstrating how structured environments and controlled environmental interactions can mitigate decoherence and enhance the resilience of quantum correlations. We propose that these theoretical predictions can be tested using modifications of recent experimental optical setups. These findings provide valuable insights into the conditions under which quantum correlations remain irreproducible by classical local hidden-variable models, with direct implications for quantum communication, quantum information processing, and foundational studies in quantum mechanics. Furthermore, our findings highlight the crucial importance of quantum coherence in maintaining entanglement and nonlocality over extended time evolution. These results show remarkable alignment with the experimental observations, demonstrating high accuracy and consistency within the expected parameter range.
