Global restrictions under local state discrimination

Abstract

We investigate how local distinguishability can restrict global properties of states shared between two parties. We begin exploring how nonlocality becomes limited by local state discrimination and observe a nontrivial tradeoff between Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) violation and success probability of local discrimination. We extend our findings to bounding the maximally entangled state fidelity and global observables such as the energy. Our results show that local state discrimination can become a powerful tool to limit global behaviors, e.g., from entangled adversaries in quantum cryptography.

More nonlocality with less entanglement in Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt experiments using inefficient detectors

Daniel Dilley, Eric Chitambar

It is well-known that in certain scenarios weakly entangled states can generate stronger nonlocal effects than their maximally entangled counterparts. In this paper, we consider violations of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality when one party has inefficient detectors, a scenario known as an asymmetric Bell experiment. For any fixed detection efficiency, we derive a simple upper bound on the entanglement needed to violate the inequality by more than some specified amount $\ensuremath{\kappa}\ensuremath{\ge}0$. When $\ensuremath{\kappa}=0$, the amount of entanglement in all states violating the inequality goes to zero as the detection efficiency approaches $50%$ from above. We finally consider the scenario in which detection inefficiency arises for only one choice of local measurement. In this case, it is shown that the CHSH inequality can always be violated for any nonzero detection efficiency and any choice of noncommuting measurements.

Generalization of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality self-testing maximally entangled states of any local dimension

Andrea Coladangelo

The Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality (CHSH) is one of the most popular and well-studied witnesses of Bell's theorem, separating classical from quantum correlations. In this work, for every $d\ensuremath{\ge}2$, we present a generalization of the CHSH inequality with the property that maximal violation is achieved uniquely by the maximally entangled state of local dimension $d$. This provides an avenue for device-independent certification of maximally entangled states of arbitrary local dimension.

Bell nonlocality in two-mode Gaussian states revealed via local squeezing

A. Lezama, A. Auyuanet

Local unitary operations cannot affect the quantum correlations between two systems sharing an entangled state although they do influence the outcomes of local measurements. By considering local squeezing operations we introduce an extended family of observables allowing violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality for two-mode Gaussian systems. We show that local squeezing can enable or enhance the identification of nonlocal two-mode states. In particular, we show that local squeezing followed by photon--no-photon discrimination can suffice to reveal nonlocality in a broad ensemble of pure and mixed two-mode Gaussian states.

Sharing quantum nonlocality and genuine nonlocality with independent observables

Tinggui Zhang, Shao-Ming Fei

Recently the authors of Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 090401 (2020) considered the following scenario: Alice and Bob each have half of a pair of entangled qubit states. Bob measures his half and then passes his part to a second Bob who measures again, and so on. The goal is to maximize the number of Bobs that can have an expected violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality with the single Alice. By taking the maximally entangled pure two-qubit state $|\ensuremath{\phi}\ensuremath{\rangle}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|00\ensuremath{\rangle}+|11\ensuremath{\rangle})$ as an example, it has been constructively proved that arbitrarily many independent Bobs can share the nonlocality with the single Alice. Here we demonstrate that arbitrarily many independent observers can share the nonlocality of a single arbitrary dimensional bipartite entangled but not necessary two-qubit entangled state. Furthermore, taking the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states as an example, we show that at most two Charlies can share the genuine nonlocality of a single generalized GHZ state with an Alice and a Bob.

Less entanglement exhibiting more nonlocality with noisy measurements

Gaoyan Zhu, Daniel Dilley, Kunkun Wang +3 more

Abstract The Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (CHSH) inequality test is widely used as a mean of invalidating the local deterministic theories. Most attempts to experimentally test nonlocality have presumed unphysical idealizations that do not hold in real experiments, namely, noiseless measurements. We demonstrate an experimental violation of the CHSH inequality that is free of idealization and rules out local models with high confidence. We show that the CHSH inequality can always be violated for any nonzero noise parameter of the measurement. Intriguingly, less entanglement exhibits more nonlocality in the CHSH test with noisy measurements. Furthermore, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate how the CHSH test with noisy measurements can be used to detect weak entanglement on two-qubit states. Our results offer a deeper insight into the relation between entanglement and nonlocality.

All Bipartite Entangled States Display Some Hidden Nonlocality

Lluís Masanes, Yeong-Cherng Liang, Andrew C. Doherty

One of the most significant and well-known properties of entangled states is that they may lead to violations of Bell inequalities and are thus inconsistent with any local-realistic theory. However, there are entangled states that cannot violate any Bell inequality, and in general the precise relationship between entanglement and observable nonlocality is not well understood. We demonstrate that a violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality can be demonstrated in a certain kind of Bell experiment for all entangled states. Our proof of the result consists of two main steps. We first provide a simple characterization of the set of states that do not violate the CHSH inequality even after general local operations and classical communication. Second, we prove that for each entangled state sigma, there exists another state rho not violating the CHSH inequality, such that rhomultiply sign in circlesigma violates the CHSH inequality.
