Abstract
We investigate the detection problem of quantum nonlocal correlation by two qubit detectors. The detectors with an initial product state interact with a massless scalar field in the vacuum state, and then the out-state of the detectors are correlated after the interaction. Under the perturbative treatment in the second order of the coupling, the detectors' state can be entangled but satisfies the Bell-CHSH inequality. It is known that the violation of the Bell-CHSH inequality for such an entangled state is obtained after a local filtering operation. In this paper, we construct the optimal filtering operation for the qubit detectors and derive the success probability of the filtering operation, which characterizes the reliability of revealing the Bell-CHSH nonlocality by the filtering operations. By applying the optimal filtering, it is shown that the detected Bell-CHSH nonlocality depends on the coherence of the detectors' state and the spontaneous emission of scalar particles from each detector. We also comment on a trade-off relation between the success probability and the size of the parameter region showing quantum correlation.
