Violation of Continuous Variable EPR Steering with Discrete Measurements

Abstract

We create a stronger EPR-steering inequality for continuous variables using entropic uncertainty. We explore the asymmetry in this inequality and develop a new symmetric inequality. We also violate these inequalities in experiment.

Violation of Continuous-Variable Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering with Discrete Measurements

James Schneeloch, P. Ben Dixon, Gregory A. Howland +2 more

In this Letter, we derive an entropic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering inequality for continuous-variable systems using only experimentally measured discrete probability distributions and details of the measurement apparatus. We use this inequality to witness EPR steering between the positions and momenta of photon pairs generated in spontaneous parametric down-conversion. We examine the asymmetry between parties in this inequality, and show that this asymmetry can be used to reduce the technical requirements of experimental setups intended to demonstrate the EPR paradox. Furthermore, we develop a more stringent steering inequality that is symmetric between parties, and use it to show that the down-converted photon pairs also exhibit symmetric EPR steering.

The Relationship Between Discrete and Continuous Entropy in EPR-Steering Inequalities

James Schneeloch

This document expands upon the relationship between discrete and continuous entropy given in (Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 130407), \Violating Continuous Variable Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering with Discrete Measurements". We provide a detailed derivation for the inequality relating the continuous conditional entropy to its discrete approximation, and show how this connection works between discrete and continuous entropic quantities in general. In addition, we use this connection to show how to derive the continuous variable Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering inequality with discrete measurements as seen in (Phys. Rev. Lett. 110 130407), and make an additional comment which strengthens this result.

Entropic EPR Steering Inequalities

Curtis J. Broadbent, James Schneeloch, Stephen Patrick Walborn +2 more

We derive entropic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering inequalities from entropic uncertainty relations. This allows us to formulate inequalities that test for EPR steering correlations which are symmetric between parties, or occur between multiple degrees of freedom.

Demonstrating continuous variable Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen steering in spite of finite experimental capabilities using Fano steering bounds

James Schneeloch, Samuel H. Knarr, Gregory A. Howland +1 more

We show how one can demonstrate continuous-variable Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering without needing to characterize entire measurement probability distributions. To do this, we develop a modified Fano inequality useful for discrete measurements of continuous variables and use it to bound the conditional uncertainties in continuous-variable entropic EPR-steering inequalities. With these bounds, we show how one can hedge against experimental limitations including a finite detector size, dead space between pixels, and any such factors that impose an incomplete sampling of the true measurement probability distribution. Furthermore, we use experimental data from the position and momentum statistics of entangled photon pairs in parametric downconversion to show that this method is sufficiently sensitive for practical use.

An Entropic Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Criterion

Stephen Patrick Walborn, A. Salles, Rafael M. Gomes +2 more

We propose an EPR inequality based on an entropic uncertainty relation for complementary continuous variable observables. This inequality is more sensitive than the previously established EPR inequality based on inferred variances, and opens up the possibility of EPR tests of quantum nonlocality in a wider variety of quantum states. We experimentally test the inequality using spatially entangled photons. For a particular quantum state, our experimental results show a violation of the entropic EPR inequality, while the variance EPR inequality is not violated.
