Genuine monogamy relations in no-signaling theories—a geometric approach

Abstract

Abstract Quantum correlations are subject to certain distribution rules represented by so-called monogamy relations. Derivation of monogamy relations for multipartite systems is a non-trivial problem, as the multipartite correlations reveal their behaviors in a way different from bipartite systems. We here show that simple geometric properties of probabilistic spaces, in conjunction with no-signaling principle, lead to genuine monogamy relations for a large class of Bell type inequalities for many qubits. The term of ‘genuine’ implies that only one out of N Bell inequalities exhibits a quantum violation. We also generalize our method to qudits. Using the similar geometric approach with a quasi-distance employed, we derive Svetlichny–Zohren–Gill type Bell inequalities for d-dimensional tripartite systems, and show their monogamous nature.

Simple and tight monogamy relations for a class of Bell inequalities

Remigiusz Augusiak

Physical principles constrain the way nonlocal correlations can be distributed among distant parties in a Bell-type experiment. These constraints are usually expressed by monogamy relations that bound the amount of Bell inequality violation observed by a set of parties by the violation observed by a different set of parties. Here we show that the no-signaling principle yields simple and tight monogamy relations for an important class of bipartite and multipartite Bell inequalities. We also link these trade-offs to the guessing probability---a key quantity in device-independent information processing.

Complementarity of genuine multipartite Bell nonlocality

Sasha Sami, Indranil Chakrabarty, Anubhav Chaturvedi

We introduce a feature of no-signaling (Bell) nonlocal theories: namely, when a system of multiple parties manifests genuine nonlocal correlation, then there cannot be arbitrarily high nonlocal correlation among any subset of the parties. We call this feature complementarity of genuine multipartite nonlocality. We use Svetlichny's criterion for genuine multipartite nonlocality and nonlocal games to derive the complementarity relations under no-signaling constraints. We find that the complementarity relations are tightened for the much stricter quantum constraints. We compare this notion with the well-known notion of monogamy of nonlocality. As a consequence, we obtain tighter nontrivial monogamy relations that take into account genuine multipartite nonlocality. Furthermore, we provide numerical evidence showcasing this feature using a bipartite measure and several other well-known tripartite measures of nonlocality.

Trade-offs in multiparty Bell-inequality violations in qubit networks

Ravishankar Ramanathan, Piotr Mironowicz

Two overlapping bipartite binary Bell inequalities cannot be simultaneously violated as this would contradict the usual no-signaling principle. This property is known as monogamy of Bell inequality violations and generally Bell monogamy relations refer to trade-offs between simultaneous violations of multiple inequalities. It turns out that multipartite Bell inequalities admit weaker forms of monogamies that allow for violations of a few inequalities at once. Here we systematically study monogamy relations between correlation Bell inequalities both within quantum theory and under the sole assumption of no signaling. We first investigate the trade-offs in Bell violations arising from the uncertainty relation for complementary binary observables, and exhibit several network configurations in which a tight trade-off arises in this fashion. We then derive a tight trade-off relation which cannot be obtained from the uncertainty relation showing that it does not capture monogamy entirely. The results are extended to Bell inequalities involving different numbers of parties and find applications in device-independent secret sharing and device-independent randomness extraction. Although two multipartite Bell inequalities may be violated simultaneously, we show that genuine multiparty nonlocality, as evidenced by a generalized Svetlichny inequality, does exhibit monogamy property. Finally, using the relations derived we reveal the existence of flat regions in the set of quantum correlations.

Unmasking the polygamous nature of quantum nonlocality

Paweł Cieśliński, Lukas Knips, Mateusz Kowalczyk +4 more

Quantum mechanics imposes limits on the statistics of certain observables. Perhaps the most famous example is the uncertainty principle. Similar trade-offs also exist for the simultaneous violation of multiple Bell inequalities. In the simplest case of three observers, it has been shown that if two observers violate a Bell inequality, then none of them can violate any Bell inequality with the third observer, a property called monogamy of Bell violations. Forms of Bell monogamy have been linked to the no-signaling principle, and the inability of simultaneous violations of all inequalities is regarded as their fundamental property. Here, we show that the Bell monogamy does not hold universally and that in fact the only monogamous situation exists for only three observers. Consequently, the nature of quantum nonlocality is truly polygamous. We present a systematic methodology for identifying quantum states, measurements, and tight Bell inequalities that do not obey the monogamy principle for any number of more than three observers. The identified polygamous inequalities enable any subset of [Formula: see text] observers to reveal nonlocality, which is also shown experimentally by measuring Bell-type correlations of six-photon Dicke states. Our findings may be exploited for multiparty quantum key distribution as well as simultaneous self-testing of multiple nodes in quantum networks.

Bell monogamy relations in arbitrary qubit networks

Minh C. Tran, Ravishankar Ramanathan, Matthew McKague +2 more

Characterizing tradeoffs between simultaneous violations of multiple Bell inequalities in a large network has important physical consequences but is computationally demanding. We propose a graph-theoretic approach to efficiently produce Bell monogamy relations in arbitrary arrangements of qubits. All the relations obtained for bipartite Bell inequalities are tight and leverage only a single Bell monogamy relation. This feature is unique to bipartite Bell inequalities, as we show that there is no finite set of such elementary monogamy relations for multipartite inequalities. Nevertheless, many tight monogamy relations for multipartite inequalities can be obtained with our method as shown in explicit examples.

Distribution of Bell-inequality violation versus multiparty-quantum-correlation measures

Kunal Sharma, Tamoghna Das, Aditi Sen +1 more

Violation of a Bell inequality guarantees the existence of quantum correlations in a shared quantum state. A pure bipartite quantum state, having nonvanishing quantum correlation, always violates a Bell inequality. Such correspondence is absent for multipartite pure quantum states in the case of multipartite correlation function Bell inequalities with two settings at each site. We establish a connection between the monogamy of Bell-inequality violation and multiparty quantum correlations for shared multisite quantum states. We believe that the relation is generic, as it is true for a number of different multisite measures that are defined from radically different perspectives. Precisely, we quantify the multisite-quantum-correlation content in the states by generalized geometric measure, a genuine multisite entanglement measure, as well as three monogamy-based multiparty-quantum-correlation measures, viz., 3-tangle, quantum-discord score, and quantum-work-deficit score. We find that generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and another single-parameter family of states, which we refer to as the special Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, have the status of extremal states in such relations.
