Abstract

A simple Bell inequality for an n-particle system in a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state is derived. Quantum mechanics violates this inequality by an exponentially large factor of ${2}^{(\mathit{n}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}2)/2}$ for n odd or ${2}^{(\mathit{n}\mathrm{\ensuremath{-}}1)/2}$ for n even.

Critical visibility for N-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger correlations to violate local realism

Marek Żukowski, Dagomir Kaszlikowski

A sequence of Bell inequalities for N-particle systems, which involve three settings of each of the local measuring apparatuses, is derived. For Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, quantum mechanics violates these inequalities by factors exponentially growing with N. The threshold visibilities of the multiparticle sinusoidal interference fringes, for which local realistic theories are ruled out, decrease as (2/3)^N.

Critical visibility for N -particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger correlations to violate local realism

Marek Żukowski, Dagomir Kaszlikowski

A sequence of Bell inequalities for $N$-particle systems, which involve three settings of each of the local measuring apparatuses, is derived. For Greenberger-Horne-Zellinger states, quantum mechanics violates these inequalities by factors exponentially growing with $N$. The threshold visibilities of the multiparticle sinusoidal interference fringes, for which local realistic theories are ruled out, decrease as ${(2/3)}^{N}$.

Bell-Type Inequalities for Partial Separability in N -Particle Systems and Quantum Mechanical Violations

Michael Seevinck, George Svetlichny

We derive N-particle Bell-type inequalities under the assumption of partial separability, i.e., that the N-particle system is composed of subsystems which may be correlated in any way (e.g., entangled) but which are uncorrelated with respect to each other. These inequalities provide, upon violation, experi-mentally accessible sufficient conditions for full N-particle entanglement, i.e., for N-particle entanglement that cannot be reduced to mixtures of states in which a smaller number of particles are entangled. The inequalities are shown to be maximally violated by the N-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states.

Bell’s inequality fornspin- s particles

Adán Cabello

The Mermin-Klyshko inequality for n spin-$\frac{1}{2}$ particles and two dichotomic observables is generalized to n spin-$s$ particles and two maximal observables. It is shown that some multiparty multilevel Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. A 63, 022104 (2001)] maximally violate this inequality for any $s.$ For a fixed $n,$ the magnitude of the violation is constant for any $s,$ which provides a simple demonstration and generalizes the conclusion reached by Gisin and Peres for two spin-$s$ particles in the singlet state [Phys. Lett. A 162, 15 (1992)]. For a fixed $s,$ the violation grows exponentially with $n,$ which provides a generalization to any s of Mermin's conclusion for n $\mathrm{spin}\ensuremath{-} \frac{1}{2}$ particles [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1838 (1990)].

Two-setting Bell inequalities for many qubits

Kai Chen, Sergio A Albeverio, Shao-Ming Fei

We present a family of Bell inequalities involving only two measurement settings of each party for $N>2$ qubits. Our inequalities include all the standard ones with fewer than $N$ qubits and thus give a natural generalization. It is shown that all the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states violate the inequalities maximally, with an amount that grows exponentially as ${2}^{(N\ensuremath{-}2)∕2}$. The inequalities are also violated by some states that do satisfy all the standard Bell inequalities. Remarkably, our results yield in an efficient and simple way an implementation of nonlocality tests of many qubits favorably within reach of the well-established technology of linear optics.

Measurement theory based on the truth values provides the maximum violation of the Bell-Mermin inequality

Koji Nagata, Tadao Nakamura

We investigate the violation factor of the Bell-Mermin inequality. Until now, we use an assumption that the results of measurement are $\pm 1$. In this case, the maximum violation factor is $2^{(n-1)/2}$. The quantum predictions by $n$-partite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state violate the Bell-Mermin inequality by an amount that grows exponentially with $n$. Recently, a new measurement theory based on the truth values is proposed. The values of measurement outcome are either $+1$ or 0. Here we use the new measurement theory. We consider multipartite GHZ state. It turns out that the Bell-Mermin inequality is violated by the amount of $2^{(n-1)/2}$. The measurement theory based on the truth values provides the maximum violation of the Bell-Mermin inequality.

A sequence of Bell inequalities for NNN-particle systems, which involve three settings of each of the local measuring apparatuses, is derived. For Greenberger-Horne-Zellinger states, quantum mechanics violates these inequalities by factors exponentially growing with NNN. The threshold visibilities of the multiparticle sinusoidal interference fringes, for which local realistic theories are ruled out, decrease as (2/3)N{(2/3)}^{N}(2/3)N.

The Mermin-Klyshko inequality for n spin-12\frac{1}{2}21​ particles and two dichotomic observables is generalized to n spin-sss particles and two maximal observables. It is shown that some multiparty multilevel Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. A 63, 022104 (2001)] maximally violate this inequality for any s.s.s. For a fixed n,n,n, the magnitude of the violation is constant for any s,s,s, which provides a simple demonstration and generalizes the conclusion reached by Gisin and Peres for two spin-sss particles in the singlet state [Phys. Lett. A 162, 15 (1992)].

We investigate the violation factor of the Bell-Mermin inequality. Until now, we use an assumption that the results of measurement are ±1\pm 1±1. In this case, the maximum violation factor is 2(n−1)/22^{(n-1)/2}2(n−1)/2. The quantum predictions by nnn-partite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state violate the Bell-Mermin inequality by an amount that grows exponentially with nnn. Recently, a new measurement theory based on the truth values is proposed. The values of measurement outcome are either +1+1+1 or 0. Here we use the new measurement theory. We consider multipartite GHZ state. It turns out that the Bell-Mermin inequality is violated by the amount of 2(n−1)/22^{(n-1)/2}2(n−1)/2.
