Abstract

In this paper, we study the Hardy nonlocal argument (HNA) and the Cabello nonlocal argument (CNA) under the Information Causality, Macroscopic Locality and Local Orthogonality principles in the context of Local Randomness. We see that, in the context of all the possibilities of local randomness, the gap between the quantum mechanics and the above principles, in the Cabello's nonlocality argument is larger than the Hardy's case. Therefore the CNA is stronger control than the HNA for detecting post-quantum nosignalling correlations.

Local orthogonality provides a tight upper bound for Hardy's nonlocality

Subhadipa Das, Manik Banik, Md. Rajjak Gazi +2 more

The amount of nonlocality in quantum theory is limited compared to that allowed in generalized no-signaling theory [S. Popescu and D. Rohrlich, Found. Phys. 24, 379 (1994)]. This feature, for example, gets manifested in the amount of Bell inequality violation as well as in the degree of success probability of Hardy's (Cabello's) nonlocality argument. Physical principles like information causality and macroscopic locality have been proposed for analyzing restricted nonlocality in quantum mechanics, viz. explaining the Cirel'son bound. However, these principles are not very successful in explaining the maximum success probability of Hardy's as well as Cabello's argument in quantum theory. Here we show that a recently proposed physical principle, namely local orthogonality, does better by providing a tighter upper bound on the success probability for Hardy's nonlocality. This bound is relatively closer to the corresponding quantum value compared to the bounds achieved from other principles.

Cabello's nonlocality argument for multisetting high-dimensional systems and its experimental test

Ming Yang, Dongkai Zhang, Lixiang Chen

Recent advancements have expanded Hardy's nonlocality arguments into multisetting and multidimensional systems to enhance quantum correlations. In comparison with Hardy's nonlocality argument, Cabello's nonlocality argument (CNA) emerges as a superior choice for illustrating nonlocal features. An open question persists regarding the potential extension of CNA to arbitrary ($k, d$) scenarios. Here, we answer this question both in theory and experiment. Theoretically, by utilizing compatibility graphs, we construct a new logical framework for multisetting and multidimensional CNA, demonstrating an increase in the maximum successful probability with setting $k$ and dimension $d$. Experimentally, by employing controllable photonic orbital angular momentum entanglement, we exhibit nonlocality with an experimentally recorded probability of 20.29% in the (2, 4) scenario and 28.72% in the (6, 2) scenario. Our work showcases a sharper contradiction between quantum mechanics and classical theory, surpassing the bound limited by the original version.

Local randomness in Hardy's correlations: implications from the information causality principle

Md. Rajjak Gazi, Ashutosh Rai, Samir Kunkri +1 more

Study of non-local correlations in terms of Hardy's argument has been quite popular in quantum mechanics. Hardy's non-locality argument depends on some kind of asymmetry, but a two-qubit maximally entangled state, being symmetric, does not exhibit this kind of non-locality. Here we ask the following question: can this feature be explained by some principle outside quantum mechanics? The no-signaling condition does not provide a solution. But, interestingly, the information causality principle (Pawlowski et al 2009 Nature 461 1101) offers an explanation. It shows that any generalized probability theory which gives completely random results for local dichotomic observable, cannot provide Hardy's non-local correlation if it is restricted by a necessary condition for respecting the information causality principle. In fact, the applied necessary condition imposes even more restrictions on the local randomness of measured observable. Still, there are some restrictions imposed by quantum mechanics that are not reproduced from the considered information causality condition.

Bound on Hardy’s nonlocality from the principle of information causality

Ali Ahanj, Samir Kunkri, Ashutosh Rai +2 more

Recently, the principle of nonviolation of information causality [Nature 461, 1101 (2009)] has been proposed as one of the foundational properties of nature. We explore the Hardy's nonlocality theorem for two-qubit systems, in the context of generalized probability theory, restricted by the principle of nonviolation of information causality. Applying a sufficient condition for information causality violation, we derive an upper bound on the maximum success probability of Hardy's nonlocality argument. We find that the bound achieved here is higher than that allowed by quantum mechanics but still much less than what the no-signaling condition permits. We also study the Cabello type nonlocality argument (a generalization of Hardy's argument) in this context.

Device-independent bounds from Cabello's nonlocality argument

Ashutosh Rai, Matej Pivoluska, Martin Plesch +3 more

Hardy-type arguments manifest Bell nonlocality in one of the simplest possible ways. Except for demonstrating nonclassical signature of entangled states in question, they can also serve for device-independent self-testing of states, as shown, e.g., in Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 180401 (2012). Here we develop and broaden these results to an extended version of Hardy's argument, often referred to as Cabello's nonlocality argument. We show that, as in the simpler case of Hardy's nonlocality argument, the maximum quantum value for Cabello's nonlocality is achieved by a pure two-qubit state and projective measurements that are unique up to local isometries. We also examine the properties of a more realistic case when small errors in the ideal constraints are accepted within the probabilities obtained and prove that also in this case the two-qubit state and measurements are sufficient for obtaining the maximum quantum violation of the classical bound.
