Published Aug 7, 2019• 0 citations

Abstract

Abstract This chapter reviews some of the Bell scenarios that go beyond CHSH, studied both with the tools of nonlocality and with quantum theory. In particular, we present the I3322 inequality, the chained inequalities, the family of CGLMP inequalities, the classic Hardy’s test and the Magic Square test.

Multipartite Bell Nonlocality

Valerio Scarani

Abstract This chapter discusses nonlocality for scenarios with more than two players. The definition of locality is the obvious generalisation of the bipartite case, but now there are many more ways in which locality can be violated. First, the main families of inequalities are presented. Then, the definition and demonstration of genuine multipartite nonlocality is discussed.

Avenues to generalising Bell inequalities

Marcin Karczewski, Giovanni Scala, Antonio Mandarino +2 more

Abstract Characterizing the set of all Bell inequalities is a notably hard task. An insightful method of solving it in case of Bell correlation inequalities for scenarios with two dichotomic measurements per site—for arbitrary number of parties—was given in references [2001 Phys. Rev. A 64 010102(R)] and [2001 Phys. Rev. A 64 032112]. Using complex-valued correlation functions, we generalize their approach to a broader class of Bell scenarios, in which the parties may choose from more than two multi-outcome measurements. Although the resulting families of Bell inequalities are not always tight, their coefficients have an intuitively understandable structure. We probe their usefulness by numerically testing their ability to detect Bell nonclassicality in simple interferometric experiments. Moreover, we identify a similar structure in the CGLMP inequality expressed in a correlation-based form, which allows us to generalise it to three parties.

Nonlocal Games Revisited: A Review of Representation Frameworks from Bell Locality to Quantum Pseudo-Telepathy

Mustafa Mert Özyılmaz, Ruchi Thareja, Houssam Nasser

Nonlocal games provide a unified framework for studying the distinction between classical, quantum, and more general no-signaling correlations. This review connects the Bell-locality framework to several complementary mathematical representations of nonlocal games and quantum strategies. We begin with local hidden-variable models, the CHSH inequality, and the role of Bell nonlocality as a device-independent witness of entanglement. We then introduce nonlocal games through the standard predicate/verifier formalism and discuss representative examples, including XOR games, the GHZgame, graph-based colouring games, the Mermin–Peres magic square game, and Hardy’s paradox as a related logical manifestation of nonlocality. The central contribution of the article is a comparative organisation of four closely related representation frameworks: conditional-probability andcorrelation descriptions, Bell-functional formulations, entangled-value optimisation, and the quantum-operator approach together with the Navascu´es–Pironio–Ac´ın hierarchy. These viewpoints are instantiated for the CHSH, magic square, and GHZ games, showing how each representation emphasises a different aspect of the same underlying task. The resulting synthesis clarifies the relation between Bell inequality violations, perfect quantum strategies, pseudo-telepathy, and semidefinite relaxations of quantum correlations.

Bell Inequalities

Reinhold A. Bertlmann, Nicolai Friis

Abstract This chapter presents a detailed discussion of Bell inequalities and their experimental tests. Starting from the Aharonov-Bohm version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, we review EPR’s criteria for realism and completeness and Bell’s locality condition, before deriving the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality. This is followed by an exposition on Bell’s original inequality and other Bell inequalities by Wigner, as well as Clauser and Horne. We then discuss the milestones in the experimental violation of Bell inequalities, from the experiment of Freedman and Clauser in the 1970s, to the efforts of Aspect et al. in the 1980s, the experiments by the teams of Zeilinger and Gisin in the 1990s, and culminating the loophole-free tests in 2015. Finally we turn to a brief discussion of the interpretations of quantum mechanics, focusing on contrasting the realist views held by, e.g., Einstein and Bell, and the informational views with proponents such as Brukner and Zeilinger

First Encounter with Bell Nonlocality

Valerio Scarani

Abstract This chapter is a self-contained introduction to Bell nonlocality. After a very quick historical motivation, the setting and the definition of nonlocality are given. Five classic examples of Bell tests are then introduced, including the CHSH and the GHZ tests. The remainder of the chapter is a critical reflection that contains two topics: a discussion of possible loopholes that should be avoided, and an elementary presentation of the main interpretations given to the phenomenon of nonlocality.

Formalizing Bell Nonlocality

Valerio Scarani

Abstract This chapter covers the essential mathematical tools for the study of nonlocality. It begins with the main object under study: a collection of several probability distributions usually called “behavior”. The crucial definition of locality is then given, followed by Fine’s theorem that relates local behaviors to pre-existing values and clarifies the role of local deterministic processes. In turn, one finds that local behaviors belong to a polytope, whose facets are Bell inequalities. The simplest scenario, called CHSH, is studied in detail.
