More nonlocality with less incompatibility in higher dimensions: Bell vs prepare-measure scenarios

Abstract

Connecting incompatibility in measurements with the violation of local realism is one of the fundamental avenues of research. For two qubits, any incompatible pair of projective measurements can violate Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality for some states, and there is a monotonic relationship between the level of measurement incompatibility (projective) and the violation. However, in the case of two qutrits, we exhibit that the violation of the Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu (CGLMP) inequality responds non-monotonically with the amount of incompatibility; we term this more nonlocality with less incompatibility. Furthermore, unlike in the CHSH case, the maximally violating state in higher dimensions depends on the amount of measurement incompatibility. We illustrate that similar patterns can also be observed in an experimentally viable interferometric measuring technique. In such a measurement scenario, we provide an explicit example of incompatible (not jointly measurable) measurements that do not violate the CGLMP inequality for any shared quantum state. We extend our study of incompatibility in the prepare and measure scenario, focusing on quantum random access codes (QRACs). Surprisingly, we show that the monotonicity of average success probability with measurement incompatibility does not hold for higher dimensions, as opposed to two dimensions, even though the maximum probability of QRAC behaves monotonically with incompatibility.

Survey on the Bell nonlocality of a pair of entangled qudits

Alejandro Fonseca, Anna de Rosier, Tamás Vértesi +2 more

The question of how Bell nonlocality behaves in bipartite systems of higher dimensions is addressed. By employing the probability of violation of local realism under random measurements as the figure of merit, we investigate the nonlocality of entangled qudits with dimensions ranging from $d=2$ up to $d=10$. We proceed in two complementary directions. First, we study the specific Bell scenario defined by the Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu (CGLMP) inequality. Second, we consider the nonlocality of the same states under a more general perspective by directly addressing the space of joint probabilities (computing the frequencies of behaviours outside the local polytope). In both approaches we find that the nonlocality decreases as the dimension $d$ grows, but in quite distinct ways. While the drop in the probability of violation is exponential in the CGLMP scenario, it presents, at most, a linear decay in the space of behaviors. Furthermore, in the latter approach the states that produce maximal numeric violations in the CGLMP inequality present low probabilities of violation in comparison to maximally entangled states, so no anomaly is observed. Finally, the nonlocality of states with nonmaximal Schmidt rank is investigated.

Connection between the contextuality breaking and incompatibility breaking qubit channels

Swati Kumari, Sumit Mukherjee, R. Prabhu

Contextuality and measurement incompatibility are two fundamental aspects of nonclassicality, and their manifestations in observed quantum correlations are often deeply interconnected. Recently, measurement incompatibility has been studied in connection with nonlocality, particularly in terms of their robustness under various quantum channels. This line of investigation helps establish a connection between the channels that break nonlocality and those that break incompatibility. In this study, we focus on an asymmetric bipartite Bell scenario involving three and four inputs on Alice and Bob sides, respectively, with each of these inputs having dichotomous outcomes. Under the assumption of locality, the observed statistics in this asymmetric scenario obeys the Elegant Bell inequality (EBI). Here, we use a different version of the EBI that relies on the assumption of the preparation noncontextuality. By taking the violation of this noncontextual version of EBI as a witness of preparation contextuality we establish a connection between the channels that break contextuality and the channels that break triple-wise measurement incompatibility. Our results suggest that any channel which breaks EBI contextuality will also break Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) nonlocality; however, the reverse does not hold. We also show that a depolarising channel that breaks N-wise incompatibility can also break a certain form of contextuality, witnessed by a generalised inequality involving N measurements on one wing of a bipartite Bell scenario.

Robustness of higher-dimensional nonlocality against dual noise and sequential measurements

Saptarshi Roy, Asmita Kumari, Shiladitya Mal +1 more

The robustness of the violation of the Collins-Linden-Gisin-Masser-Popescu (CGLMP) inequality is investigated from the dual perspectives of noise in measurements and in states. To quantify it, we introduce a quantity called the area of the nonlocal region which reveals a dimensional advantage. Specifically, we report that with an increase in dimension, the maximally violating states show greater enhancement in the area of the nonlocal region in comparison to the maximally entangled states and the scaling of the increment in this case grows faster than visibility. Moreover, we examine the robustness of the sequential violation of the CGLMP inequality using weak measurements and find that even for higher dimensions, the simultaneous violation of the CGLMP inequalities of two observers as obtained for two-qubit states persists. We notice that the complementarity between information gain and disturbance from measurements is manifested by the decrease in the visibility in the first round and the increase in the same in the second round with dimensions. Furthermore, the amount of white noise that can be added to a maximally entangled state so that it has two rounds of the violation decreases with the dimension, while it does not appreciably change for the maximally violating states.

Experimental sharing of Bell nonlocality with projective measurements

Ya Xiao, Yan-Xin Rong, Shuo Wang +3 more

Abstract In the standard Bell experiment, two parties perform local projective measurements on a shared pair of entangled qubits to generate nonlocal correlations. However, these measurements completely destroy the entanglement, rendering the post-measurement state unable for subsequent use. For a long time, it was believed that only unsharp measurements can be used to share quantum correlations. Remarkably, recent research has shown that classical randomness assisted projective measurements are sufficient for sharing nonlocality (Steffinlongo and Tavakoli 2022 Phys. Rev. Lett. 129 230402). Here, by stochastically combining no more than two different projective measurement strategies, we report an experimental observation of double Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequality violations with two measurements in a sequence made on each pair of maximally and partially entangled polarization photons. Our results reveal that the double violation achieved by partially entangled states can be 11 standard deviations larger than that achieved by maximally entangled ones. Our scheme eliminates the requirement for entanglement assistance in previous unsharp-measurement-based sharing schemes, making it experimentally easier. Our work provides possibilities for sharing other types of quantum correlations in various physical systems with projective measurements.

Interplay of quantum resources in nonlocality tests

Hai-Hao Dong, Yuwei Zhu, Su-Yi Cheng +8 more

Nonlocality, evidenced by the violation of Bell inequalities, not only signifies entanglement but also highlights measurement incompatibility in quantum systems. Utilizing the tilted Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality, our high-efficiency optical setup achieves a loophole-free violation of 2.0132 . This result provides a device-independent lower bound on entanglement, quantified as the entanglement of formation at 0.0159 . Moreover, by tuning the parameters of the tilted CHSH inequality, we enhance the estimation of measurement incompatibility, which is quantified by an effective overlap of 4.3883 × 10 − 5 . To explore the intricate interplay among nonlocality, entanglement, and measurement incompatibility, we generate mixed states, allowing for flexible modulation of entanglement via fast switching among the four Bell states using Pockels cells, achieving a fidelity above 99.10 % . Intriguingly, our results reveal a counterintuitive relationship where increasing incompatibility initially boosts nonlocality but eventually leads to its reduction. Typically, maximal nonlocality does not coincide with maximal incompatibility. This experimental study sheds light on the optimal management of quantum resources for Bell-inequality-based quantum information processing.

Binarisation-loophole-free observation of high-dimensional quantum nonlocality

Jia-le Miao, Elna Svegborn, Zhuo Chen +7 more

Bell inequality tests based on high-dimensional entanglement usually require measurements that can resolve multiple possible outcomes. However, the implementation of high-dimensional multi-outcome measurements is often only emulated via a collection of ``click or no-click'' measurements. This reduction of multi-outcome measurements to binary-outcome measurements opens a loophole in high-dimensional tests Bell inequalities which can be exploited by local hidden variable models [Tavakoli et al., Phys. Rev. A 111, 042433 (2025)]. Here, we close this loophole by using four-dimensional photonic path-mode entanglement and multi-outcome detection. We test both the well-known Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu inequality and a related Bell inequality tailored for maximally entangled states in high-dimension. We observe violations that are large enough to also rule out any quantum model based on entanglement of lower dimension, thereby demonstrating genuinely high-dimensional nonlocality free of the binarisation loophole.
