All-versus-nothing nonlocality for two photons from different sources

Abstract

A proof of all-versus-nothing nonlocality for two photons generated from two independent separated sources is presented. The reasoning makes use of entanglement of each photon with a vacuum state.

Deterministic all-versus-nothing proofs of Bell nonlocality based on non-stabilizer states

Weidong Tang

Abstract The all-versus-nothing proof of Bell nonlocality is a prominent demonstration of Bell’s theorem without inequalities. There are two kinds of such proofs: the deterministic all-versus-nothing proof and the probabilistic all-versus-nothing proof, which have received extensive research attention. Traditionally, all previous deterministic all-versus-nothing proofs are constructed based on stabilizer states. However, this work presents new deterministic proofs derived from non-stabilizer states, thereby breaking away from this conventional approach. These novel results not only significantly broaden the range of demonstrations of Bell nonlocality without inequalities but also offer valuable resources for certain quantum information processing applications.

All-Versus-Nothing Violation of Local Realism by Two-Photon, Four-Dimensional Entanglement

Tao Yang, Qiang Zhang, Jun Zhang +5 more

We develop and exploit a source of two-photon, four-dimensional entanglement to report the first two-particle all-versus-nothing test of local realism with a linear optics setup, but without resorting to a noncontextuality assumption. Our experimental results are in good agreement with quantum mechanics while in extreme contradiction to local realism. Potential applications of our experiment are briefly discussed.

Realization of the "all-versus-nothing" nonlocality test by adopting two-photon hyper-entanglement

Marco Barbieri, Claudia Cinelli, F. De Martini +1 more

We report the experimental realization and the characterization of polarization and momentum hyper-entangled two photon states, generated by a new parametric source of correlated photon pairs. By adoption of these states a successful ''all versus nothing'' test of quantum mechanics was performed. The two photon hyper-entangled states are expected to find at an increasing rate a widespread application in state engineering and quantum information. PACS: 03.67.-a, 03.67.Mn, 03.67.Hk, 42.65. Lm

Contextuality and nonlocality of indistinguishable particles

Debajyoti Gangopadhyay, R Srikanth

Abstract Unlike in the case of distinguishable particles, the concept of entanglement—not to mention nonlocality—remains debated in the case of indistinguishable particles. Here, we show that certain existing all-versus-nothing type proofs of contextuality or nonlocality for distinguishable particles, based on a logical contradiction, may be carried over to indistinguishable particles.

Multi-Particle Interferometry Based on Double Entangled States

T. B. Pittman, Yanhua H. Shih, Dmitry Strekalov +2 more

A method for producing a 4-photon entangled state based on the use of two independent pair sources is discussed. Of particular interest is that each of the pair sources produces a two-photon state which is simultaneously entangled in both polarization and space-time variables. Performing certain measurements which exploit this double entanglement provides an opportunity for verifying the recent demonstration of nonlocality by Greenberger, Horne, and Zeilinger.

All-Versus-Nothing Violation of Local Realism for Two Entangled Photons

Zeng‐Bing Chen, Jian-Wei Pan, Yong-De Zhang +2 more

It is shown that the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger theorem can be generalized to the case with only two entangled particles. The reasoning makes use of two photons which are maximally entangled both in polarization and in spatial degrees of freedom. In contrast to Cabello's argument of "all versus nothing" nonlocality with four photons [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 010403 (2001)]], our proposal to test the theorem can be implemented with linear optics and thus is well within the reach of current experimental technology.
