Abstract

Recently, the quantumness of local correlations arising from separable states in the context of a Bell scenario has been studied and linked with superlocality [Phys. Rev. A 95, 032120 (2017)]. Here we investigate the quantumness of unsteerable correlations in the context of a given steering scenario. Generalizing the concept of superlocality, we define as supercorrelation the requirement for a larger dimension of the preshared randomness to simulate the correlations than that of the quantum states that generate them. Since unsteerable states form a subset of Bell local states, it is an interesting question whether certain unsteerable states can be supercorrelated. Here, we answer this question in the affirmative. In particular, the quantumness of certain unsteerable correlations can be pointed out by the notion of superunsteerability, the requirement for a larger dimension of the classical variable that the steering party has to preshare with the trusted party for simulating the correlations than that of the quantum states which reproduce them. This provides a generalized approach to quantify the quantumness of unsteerable correlations in convex operational theories.

Nonclassicality of local bipartite correlations

Chellasamy Jebarathinam, S. Aravinda, R. Srikanth

Simulating quantum nonlocality and steering requires augmenting preshared randomness with nonvanishing communication cost. This prompts the question of how one may provide such an operational characterization for the quantumness of correlations due to even unentangled states. Here we show that for a certain class of states, such quantumness can be pointed out by superlocality, the requirement for a larger dimension of the preshared randomness to simulate the correlations than that of the quantum state that generates them. This provides an approach to define the nonclassicality of local multipartite correlations in convex operational theories.

Operational nonclassicality of local multipartite correlations in the limited-dimensional simulation scenario

Chellasamy Jebarathinam, Debarshi Das, Suchetana Goswami +2 more

Abstract For a bipartite local quantum correlation, superlocality refers to the requirement for a larger dimension of the random variable in the classical simulation protocol than that of the quantum states that generate the correlations. In this work, we consider the classical simulation of local tripartite quantum correlations P among three parties and C . If at least one of the bipartitions , and is superlocal, then P is said to be absolutely superlocal, whereas if all three bipartitions are superlocal, then P is said to be genuinely superlocal. We present specific examples of genuine superlocality for tripartite correlations derived from three-qubit states. It is argued that genuine quantumness as captured by the notion of genuine discord is necessary for demonstrating genuine superlocality. Finally, the notions of absolute and genuine superlocality are also defined for multipartite correlations.

Genuine Superlocality as an operational definition of genuine nonclassicality of local multipartite boxes

Chellasamy Jebarathinam, Suchetana Goswami, S. Aravinda +2 more

Genuine multpartite quantum nonlocality can be quantified by the communication cost needed to reproduce the nonlocal correlation by classical communication models. This prompts the question as to how one may provide such an operational characterization for the nonclassicality of local multipartite correlations arising from genuinely quantum states possessing quantum discord. To answer this question, we consider a classical simulation protocol where one of the parties pre-share a random variable with the other parties who may also share arbitrary randomness. We demonstrate that genuine nonclassicality of local multipartite correlations is necessary for implying genuine superlocality which is the requirement for a larger dimension of the random variable in the above classical simulation protocol than that of quantum state that can generate the nonclassical correlations.

Certifying quantumness beyond steering and nonlocality and its implications on quantum information processing

Chellasamy Jebarathinam, Debarshi Das

Superunsteerability is a particular kind of spatial quantum correlation that can be observed in a steering scenario in the presence of limited shared randomness. In this work, we define an experimentally measurable quantity in a steering scenario to certify superunsteerability. In the context of certification of randomness with this scenario, we demonstrate that such certification of superunsteerability provides a bound on the amount of genuine randomness generation. On the other hand, superlocality is another kind of spatial quantum correlation that can be observed in a Bell scenario in the presence of limited shared randomness. We identify inequalities to certify superlocality in the Bell scenarios that can be adopted to implement $2$-to-$1$ and $3$-to-$1$ random-access codes. We observe that such certification of superlocality acts as resource for the random-access codes in the presence of limited shared randomness. As a by-product of our certification of superunsteerability and superlocality, we identify a new classification of separable states having quantumness.

Asymmetric one-sided semi-device-independent steerability of quantum discordant states

Chellasamy Jebarathinam, Debarshi Das, R. Srikanth

Superlocality and superunsteerability provide operational characterization of quantum correlations in certain local and unsteerable states, respectively. Such quantum correlated states have a nonzero quantum discord. A two-way nonzero quantum discord is necessary for quantum correlations pointed out by superlocality. On the other hand, in this work, we demonstrate that a two-way nonzero quantum discord is not necessary to demonstrate superunsteerability. To this end, we demonstrate superunsteerability for one-way quantum discordant states. This in turn implies the existence of one-way superunsteerability and also the presence of superunsteerability without superlocality. Superunsteerability for nonzero quantum discord states implies the occurrence of steerability in a one-sided semi-device-independent way. Just like one-way steerability occurs for certain Bell-local states in a one-sided device-independent way, our result shows that one-way steerability can also occur for certain nonsuperlocal states but in a one-sided semi-device-independent way.

Criterion for Locally Inaccessible Quantum Nonlocality and Steering

Cristian E. Susa

It is well known that quantum correlations such as quantum nonlocality and steering can be revealed by means of the implementation of local filters or stochastic local operation and classical communication (SLOCC). This means that bipartite quantum states that are entangled but local (unsteerable), can be driven locally to quantum nonlocal (steerable) states. However, there does not exist a criterion telling us whether the revealed quantum correlation is accessible by locally implementing on a single party, or both parties are required to cooperate by implementing local filters. In this work, we proposed a criterion based on the quantum steering ellipsoid and provided examples of two-qubit states with locally inaccessible quantum correlations.
