Abstract

With the help of Svetlichny's inequality, we obtain an analytical expression of the quantum nonlocality for generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger(GHZ) state composed of a (GHZ) state and a W state. The numerical results between tripartite entanglement and nonlocality for generalized GHZ state are discussed.

Tripartite Entanglement versus Tripartite Nonlocality in Three-Qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-Class States

We analyze the relationship between tripartite entanglement and genuine tripartite nonlocality for three-qubit pure states in the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger class. We consider a family of states known as the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states and derive an analytical expression relating the three-tangle, which quantifies tripartite entanglement, to the Svetlichny inequality, which is a Bell-type inequality that is violated only when all three qubits are nonlocally correlated. We show that states with three-tangle less than 1/2 do not violate the Svetlichny inequality. On the other hand, a set of states known as the maximal slice states does violate the Svetlichny inequality, and exactly analogous to the two-qubit case, the amount of violation is directly related to the degree of tripartite entanglement. We discuss further interesting properties of the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and maximal slice states.

Bell-type inequality and tripartite nonlocality in three-qubit GHZ-class states

Jia-Qiang Zhao, Cao Lian-Zhen, Lu Huai-Xin +1 more

In this paper, we theoretically study the relation between concurrence and nonlocality depicted by Bell-type inequality violation of quantum mechanics prediction versus local realism prediction for the GHZ (Greenberger -Horne-Zeilinger) class states. Analytical expressions of concurrence, violations of the Mermin inequality and the Svetlichny inequality are obtained. Through numerical calculations, the relationship between entanglement and nonlocality of GHZ-class states is discussed. Our results show that the concurrence is consistent with the degree of nonlocality described by violations of the two Bell-type inequalities of GHZ-class states. The Bell operator and its parameters can obviously reveal the nonlocal features of quantum states.

Experimental demonstration of tripartite entanglement versus tripartite nonlocality in three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger–class states

Huai-Xin Lu, Jia-Qiang Zhao, Xiaoqin Wang +1 more

As stated by S. Ghose et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 102, 250404 (2009)], there are certain relationships between tripartite entanglement and tripartite nonlocality for three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) class states. In the present work, we have experimentally demonstrated the theoretical results of Ghose et al. by using both three-photon generalized GHZ (GGHZ) states and maximal slice (MS) states with a count of $\ensuremath{\sim}$10/s. From the data, we have verified the agreement of the experimental violation of the Svetlichny inequality with the one predicted by quantum mechanics given the reconstructed density matrix. For the MS states, it is demonstrated that the amount of violation increases linearly following the increase of the degree of tripartite entanglement. In contrast, for GGHZ states, there is a minimal value of the violation when the degree of tripartite entanglement is 1/3. Both of the results are consist with the theoretical prediction.

Nonlocality of three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger–symmetric states

Biswajit Paul, Kaushiki Mukherjee, Debasis Sarkar

Mixed states appear naturally in experiment over pure states. So for studying different notions of nonlocality and their relation with entanglement in realistic scenarios, one needs to consider mixed states. In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 020502 (2012)], a complete characterization of entanglement of an entire class of mixed three-qubit states with the same symmetry as the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state, known as GHZ-symmetric states, has been achieved. In this paper we investigate different notions of nonlocality of the same class of states. By finding the analytical expressions of maximum violation value of most efficient Bell inequalities we obtain the conditions of standard nonlocality and genuine nonlocality of this class of states. Also the relation between entanglement and nonlocality is discussed for this class of states. Interestingly, genuine entanglement of GHZ-symmetric states is necessary to reveal standard nonlocality. However, it is not sufficient to exploit the same.

Multiqubit nonlocality in families of 3- and 4-qubit entangled states

Shohini Ghose, Shantanu Debnath, Neil E. Sinclair +2 more

We investigate genuine multiqubit nonlocality in families of entangled 3- and 4-qubit pure states by analyzing a Bell-type inequality that is violated only if all qubits are nonlocally correlated. We present detailed numerical studies of the relationship between entanglement and violation of the Svetlichny Bell-type inequality in an experimentally accessible set of 3-qubit pure states, and identify the special nonlocality property of the maximal slice states in the space of all 3-qubit pure states. We also analyze nonlocal correlations in 3-qubit generalized Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) states and extend our analysis to the case of 4-qubit generalized GHZ states. We show that like the 3-qubit case, some 4-qubit generalized GHZ states do not violate a Bell inequality that tests for genuine 4-qubit nonlocality. Furthermore, the location of the boundary between the states that do violate the inequality and those that do not is the same for the 3- and 4-qubit generalized GHZ states.

Locality of three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-symmetric states

Dian Zhu, Gang-Gang He, Fulin Zhang

The hierarchy of nonlocality and entanglement in multipartite systems is one of the fundamental problems in quantum physics. We study this topic in three-qubit systems considering the entanglement classification of stochastic local operations and classical communication (SLOCC). The equivalence under SLOCC divides three-qubit states into separable, biseparable, $W$, and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) classes. The $W$ and GHZ are two subclasses of genuine tripartite entanglement. We adopt the family of GHZ-symmetric states as a research subject, which share the symmetries of the GHZ state and have a complete characterization of SLOCC classes. In the biseparable region (with bipartite entanglement), there exist GHZ-symmetric states that are found to be fully local. In addition, there are bilocal states in both the $W$ and GHZ classes. That is, neither of the subclasses of genuine tripartite entanglement can ensure genuinely tripartite nonlocality.
