Abstract

Recently, it has been shown that at most two observers (Bobs) can sequentially demonstrate bipartite nonlocality with a spatially separated single observer (Alice) invoking a scenario where an entangled system of two spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles are shared between a single Alice in one wing and several Bobs on the other wing, who act sequentially and independently of each other [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 250401 (2015)]. This has been probed through the quantum violations of CHSH inequality, i.e., when each observer performs two dichotomic measurements. In the present study we investigate how many Bobs can sequentially demonstrate bipartite nonlocality with a single Alice in the above scenario when the number of measurement settings per observer is increased. It is shown that at most two Bobs can exhibit bipartite nonlocality with a single Alice using local realist inequalities with three as well as four dichotomic measurements per observer. We then conjecture that the above feature remains unchanged contingent upon using local realist inequalities with $n$ dichotomic measurements per observer, where $n$ is arbitrary. We further present the robustness of bipartite nonlocality sharing in the above scenario against the entanglement and mixedness of the shared state.

Non-locality can be Shared between Alice and three Bobs in unbiased settings case

Changliang Ren, Tianfeng Feng, Yao, Dan +2 more

A well-known property of quantum nonlocality is monogamy. However, recent research by Silva \emph{et al.} shows that multiple observers can share the nonlocality by using weak measurements [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 250401 (2015)]. There is an open question left in their result: whether the nonlocality of a single particle from an entangled pair can be shared among more than two observers that act sequentially and independently of each other? In this work, we analytical and numerical shows that it is possible to observe a triple violation of CHSH inequality between Alice and three Bobs when the measurements of each of the several observers at one side are unbiased with respect to the previous observers. This result overturns the conclusions and proofs of previous related work on this issue which has been widely shared in the scientific community before.

Sharing tripartite nonlocality sequentially by arbitrarily many independent observers

XI Ya, Zheng, Zhu-Jun

There exist bipartite entangled states whose violations of Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality can be observed by a single Alice and arbitrarily many sequential Bobs [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 090401 (2020)]. Here we consider its analogues for tripartite systems: a tripartite entangled state is shared among Alice, Bob and multiple Charlies. The first Charlie measures his qubit and then passes his qubit to the next Charlie who measures again with other measurements and so on. The goal is to maximize the number of Charlies that can observe some kind of nonlocality with the single Alice and Bob. It has been shown that at most two Charlies could share genuine nonlocality of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state via the violation of Svetlichny inequality with Alice and Bob [Quantum Inf. Process. 18, 42 (2019) and Phys. Rev. A 103, 032216 (2021)]. In this work, we show that arbitrarily many Charlies can have standard nonlocality (via violations of Mermin inequality) and some other kind of genuine nonlocality (which is known as genuinely nonsignal nonlocality) with the single Alice and single Bob.

Sharing of Nonlocality of a single member of an Entangled Pair Is Not Possible by More Than Two Unbiased Observers on the other wing

Shiladitya Mal, A. S. Majumdar, Dipankar Home

We address the recently posed question as to whether the nonlocality of a single member of an entangled pair of spin $1/2$ particles can be shared among multiple observers on the other wing who act sequentially and independently of each other [1]. We first show that the optimality condition for the trade-off between information gain and disturbance in the context of weak or non-ideal measurements emerges naturally when one employs a one-parameter class of positive operator valued measures (POVMs). Using this formalism we then prove analytically that it is impossible to obtain violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality by more than two Bobs in one of the two wings using unbiased input settings with an Alice in the other wing.

Bipartite entangled states whose violations of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality can be observed by a single Alice and arbitrarily many sequential Bobs exist [Brown and Colbeck, Phys.

The first Charlie measures his qubit and then passes his qubit to the next Charlie, who measures again with other measurements, and so on.

Sharing of nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence by sequential observers

Shounak Datta, A. S. Majumdar

Nonlocal advantage of quantum coherence (NAQC) or steerability of local quantum coherence is a strong nonlocal resource based on coherence complementarity relations. In this work, we provide an upper bound on the number of observers who can independently steer the coherence of the observer in the other wing in a scenario where half of an entangled pair of spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles is shared between a single observer (Bob) in one wing and several observers (Alices) on the other, who can act sequentially and independently of each other. We consider one-parameter dichotomic POVMs for the Alices and mutually unbiased basis in which Bob measures coherence in the case of the maximally entangled bipartite qubit state. We show that not more than two Alices can exhibit NAQC when the ${l}_{1}$ norm of coherence measure is probed, whereas for two other measures of coherence, only one Alice can reveal NAQC within the same framework.
