Quantum nonlocality of multi-mode entangled state in phase space

Abstract

We show that multi-mode entangled states in which all photons are equally entangled with each other violates Bell-type inequalities indicating quantum nonlocality. The degree of nonlocality of these entangled states increases with increasing number of modes.

All entangled states display some hidden nonlocality

Yeong-Cherng Liang, Lluís Masanes, Denis Rosset

A well-known manifestation of quantum entanglement is that it may lead to correlations that are inexplicable within the framework of a locally causal theory---a fact that is demonstrated by the quantum violation of Bell inequalities. The precise relationship between quantum entanglement and the violation of Bell inequalities is, however, not well understood. While it is known that entanglement is necessary for such a violation, it is not clear whether all entangled states violate a Bell inequality, even in the scenario where one allows joint operations on multiple copies of the state and local filtering operations before the Bell experiment. In this paper we show that all entangled states, or more precisely, all not-fully-separable states of arbitrary Hilbert space dimension and arbitrary number of parties, violate a Bell inequality when combined with another state which on its own cannot violate the same Bell inequality. This result shows that quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality are in some sense equivalent, thus giving an affirmative answer to the aforementioned open question. It follows from our result that two entangled states that are apparently useless in demonstrating quantum nonlocality via a specific Bell inequality can be combined to give a Bell violation of the same inequality. Explicit examples of such activation phenomenon are provided.

Quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality for N -photon entangled states

Sun Yan-Hua, Kuang Le-Man

Quantum entanglement and quantum nonlocality of N -photon entangled states |ψ Nm ⟩ = C m [cos γ| N − m ⟩ 1 | m ⟩ 2 +e iθ m sin γ| m ⟩ 1 | N − m ⟩ 2 ] and their superpositions are studied. We point out that the relative phase θ m affects the quantum nonlocality but not the quantum entanglement for the state |ψ Nm ⟩. We show that quantum nonlocality can be controlled and manipulated by adjusting the state parameters of |ψ Nm ⟩, superposition coefficients and the azimuthal angles of the Bell operator. We also show that the violation of the Bell inequality can reach its maximal value under certain conditions. It is found that quantum superpositions based on |ψ Nm ⟩ can increase the amount of entanglement and give more ways to reach the maximal violation of the Bell inequality.

Testing Quantum Nonlocality in Phase Space

Konrad Banaszek, Krzysztof Wódkiewicz

We propose an experimental scheme for testing nonlocality of a correlated two-mode quantum state of light. We show that the correlation functions violating the Bell inequalities in the proposed experiment are equal to the joint two-mode $Q$ function and the Wigner function. This assigns a novel operational meaning to these two quasidistribution functions in tests of quantum nonlocality and also establishes a direct relationship between two intriguing aspects of quantum mechanics: the nonlocality of entangled states and the noncommutativity of quantum observables, which underlies the nonclassical structure of the phase-space quasidistribution functions.

Quantum Nonlocality for a Mixed Entangled Coherent State

Wilson, D, Hyunseok Jeong, Kim, M S

Quantum nonlocality is tested for an entangled coherent state, interacting with a dissipative environment. A pure entangled coherent state violates Bell's inequality regardless of its coherent amplitude. The higher the initial nonlocality, the more rapidly quantum nonlocality is lost. The entangled coherent state can also be investigated in the framework of $2\\times2$ Hilbert space. The quantum nonlocality persists longer in $2\\times2$ Hilbert space. When it decoheres it is found that the entangled coherent state fails the nonlocality test, which contrasts with the fact that the decohered entangled state is always entangled.

Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger nonlocality in phase space

Peter van Loock, Samuel L. Braunstein

We show that the continuous-variable analogues to the multipartite entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of qubits violate Bell-type inequalities imposed by local realistic theories. Our results suggest that the degree of nonlocality of these nonmaximally entangled continuous-variable states, represented by the maximum violation, grows with increasing number of parties. This growth does not appear to be exponentially large as for the maximally entangled qubit states, but rather decreases for larger numbers of parties.
