Abstract

We present numerical data showing that three-qutrit correlations for a pure state, which is not maximally entangled, violate local realism more strongly than three-qubit correlations. The strength of violation is measured by the minimal amount of noise that must be admixed to the system so that the noisy correlations have a local and realistic model.

Nonclassicality of pure two-qutrit entangled states

Jacek Gruca, Wiesław Laskowski, Marek Żukowski

We report an exhaustive numerical analysis of violations of local realism by two qutrits in all possible pure entangled states. In Bell-type experiments we allow any pair of local unitary U(3) transformations to define the measurement bases. Surprisingly, Schmidt-rank-2 states, resembling pairs of maximally entangled qubits, lead to the most noise-robust violations of local realism. The phenomenon seems to be even more pronounced for four- and five-dimensional systems, for which we tested a few interesting examples.

Entangled three-state systems violate local realism more strongly than qubits: An analytical proof

Jing‐Ling Chen, Dagomir Kaszlikowski, L. C. Kwek +2 more

In Kaszlikowski et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4418 (2000)], it has been shown numerically that the violation of local realism for two maximally entangled N-dimensional $(3<~N)$ quantum objects is stronger than for two maximally entangled qubits and grows with N. In this paper, we present the analytical proof of this fact for $N=3.$

Violations of local realism with quantum systems described byN-dimensional Hilbert spaces up to N=16

Thomas Durt, Dagomir Kaszlikowski, Marek Żukowski

Predictions for systems in entangled states cannot be described in local realistic terms. However, after admixing some noise such a description is possible. We show that for two quantum systems described by N-dimensional Hilbert spaces (quNits) in a maximally entangled state the minimal admixture of noise increases monotonically with N. The results are a direct extension of those of Kaszlikowski et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4418 (2000)], where results for $N<~9$ were presented. The extension up to $N=16$ is possible when one defines for each N a specially chosen set of observables. We also present results concerning the critical detectors efficiency beyond which a valid test of local realism for entangled quNits is possible.

Noise resistance of the violation of local causality for pure three-qutrit entangled states

Wiesław Laskowski, Junghee Ryu, Marek Żukowski

Bell's theorem started with two qubits (spins 1/2). It is a 'no-go' statement on classical (local causal) models of quantum correlations. After 25 years, it turned out that for three qubits the situation is even more astonishing. General statements concerning higher dimensional systems, qutrits, etc, started to appear even later, once the picture with spin (higher than 1/2) was replaced by a broader one, allowing all possible observables. This work is a continuation of the Gdansk effort to take advantage of the fact that Bell's theorem can be put in the form of a linear programming problem, which in turn can be translated into a computer code. Our results are numerical and classify the strength of the violation of local causality by various families of three-qutrit states, as measured by the resistance to noise. This is previously uncharted territory. The results may be helpful in suggesting which three-qutrit states will be handy for applications in quantum information protocols. One of the surprises is that the W state turns out to reveal a stronger violation of local causality than the GHZ (Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger) state. This article is part of a special issue of Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical devoted to '50 years of Bell's theorem'.

Experimental Entangled Entanglement

Philip John Walther, Kevin J. Resch, Časlav Brukner +1 more

All previous tests of local realism have studied correlations between single-particle measurements. In the present experiment, we have performed a Bell experiment on three particles in which one of the measurements corresponds to a projection onto a maximally entangled state. We show theoretically and experimentally that correlations between these entangled measurements and single-particle measurements are too strong for any local-realistic theory and are experimentally exploited to violate a Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt-Bell inequality by more than 5 standard deviations. We refer to this possibility as "entangled entanglement."
