Violation of Bell inequalities in $2\times3$ dimensional systems

Pawel Caban, Pawel Horodecki

We consider the Clauser-Horn (CH) inequality for a qubit-qutrit system. We derive the necessary and sufficient conditions for the violation of the inequality as well as some sufficient conditions. Remarkably, we demonstrate the importance of local parameters in violation of the inequality. In other words, there are some families of mixed states violating the inequality for which the correlation part alone is useless in the Bell-CH test.

On Bell's theorem for N‐qubits

Marek Żukowski, Časlav Brukner

Abstract We present a single general Bell inequality that summarizes all possible Bell type constrains on the correlation function for the N‐particle system (i.e., it is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of local realistic models for the correlation function). It is applicable in the case when measurements on each particle can be chosen between two arbitrary dichotomic observables. We also obtain a necessary and sufficient condition for an arbitrary N‐qubit mixed state to violate this general Bell inequality.

Bell’s Theorem for GeneralN-Qubit States

Marek Żukowski, Časlav Brukner

We derive a single general Bell inequality which is a sufficient and necessary condition for the correlation function for N particles to be describable in a local and realistic picture, for the case in which measurements on each particle can be chosen between two arbitrary dichotomic observables. We also derive a necessary and sufficient condition for an arbitrary N-qubit mixed state to violate this inequality. This condition is a generalization and reformulation of the Horodecki family condition for two qubits.
