Abstract

We explore nonlocality of three-qubit pure symmetric states shared between Alice, Bob and Charlie using the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality. We show that the reduced two-qubit states, extracted from an arbitrary pure entangled symmetric three-qubit state, do not violate the CHSH inequality and hence they are CHSH-local . However, when Alice and Bob perform the CHSH test, after conditioning over measurement results of Charlie, nonlocality of the state is revealed. It is also shown that two different classes of three-qubit pure symmetric states, consisting of two and three distinct constituent spinors (qubits) respectively, can be distinguished through the conditional CHSH non-locality test.

Sharing quantum nonlocality and genuine nonlocality with independent observables

Tinggui Zhang, Shao-Ming Fei

Recently the authors of Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 090401 (2020) considered the following scenario: Alice and Bob each have half of a pair of entangled qubit states. Bob measures his half and then passes his part to a second Bob who measures again, and so on. The goal is to maximize the number of Bobs that can have an expected violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality with the single Alice. By taking the maximally entangled pure two-qubit state $|\ensuremath{\phi}\ensuremath{\rangle}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}(|00\ensuremath{\rangle}+|11\ensuremath{\rangle})$ as an example, it has been constructively proved that arbitrarily many independent Bobs can share the nonlocality with the single Alice. Here we demonstrate that arbitrarily many independent observers can share the nonlocality of a single arbitrary dimensional bipartite entangled but not necessary two-qubit entangled state. Furthermore, taking the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states as an example, we show that at most two Charlies can share the genuine nonlocality of a single generalized GHZ state with an Alice and a Bob.

Less entanglement exhibiting more nonlocality with noisy measurements

Gaoyan Zhu, Daniel Dilley, Kunkun Wang +3 more

Abstract The Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (CHSH) inequality test is widely used as a mean of invalidating the local deterministic theories. Most attempts to experimentally test nonlocality have presumed unphysical idealizations that do not hold in real experiments, namely, noiseless measurements. We demonstrate an experimental violation of the CHSH inequality that is free of idealization and rules out local models with high confidence. We show that the CHSH inequality can always be violated for any nonzero noise parameter of the measurement. Intriguingly, less entanglement exhibits more nonlocality in the CHSH test with noisy measurements. Furthermore, we theoretically propose and experimentally demonstrate how the CHSH test with noisy measurements can be used to detect weak entanglement on two-qubit states. Our results offer a deeper insight into the relation between entanglement and nonlocality.

Arbitrarily Many Independent Observers can Share the Nonlocality of a Single Maximally Entangled Qubit Pair

Peter J. Brown, Roger Colbeck

Alice and Bob each have half of a pair of entangled qubits. Bob measures his half and then passes his qubit to a second Bob who measures again and so on. The goal is to maximize the number of Bobs that can have an expected violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality with the single Alice. This scenario was introduced in [R. Silva et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 250401 (2015)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.114.250401] where the authors mentioned evidence that when the Bobs act independently and with unbiased inputs then at most two of them can expect to violate the CHSH inequality with Alice. Here we show that, contrary to this evidence, arbitrarily many independent Bobs can have an expected CHSH violation with the single Alice. Our proof is constructive and our measurement strategies can be generalized to work with a larger class of two-qubit states that includes all pure entangled two-qubit states. Since violation of a Bell inequality is necessary for device-independent tasks, our work represents a step towards an eventual understanding of the limitations on how much device-independent randomness can be robustly generated from a single pair of qubits.

Sharing tripartite nonlocality sequentially by arbitrarily many independent observers

XI Ya, Zheng, Zhu-Jun

There exist bipartite entangled states whose violations of Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality can be observed by a single Alice and arbitrarily many sequential Bobs [Phys. Rev. Lett. 125, 090401 (2020)]. Here we consider its analogues for tripartite systems: a tripartite entangled state is shared among Alice, Bob and multiple Charlies. The first Charlie measures his qubit and then passes his qubit to the next Charlie who measures again with other measurements and so on. The goal is to maximize the number of Charlies that can observe some kind of nonlocality with the single Alice and Bob. It has been shown that at most two Charlies could share genuine nonlocality of the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) state via the violation of Svetlichny inequality with Alice and Bob [Quantum Inf. Process. 18, 42 (2019) and Phys. Rev. A 103, 032216 (2021)]. In this work, we show that arbitrarily many Charlies can have standard nonlocality (via violations of Mermin inequality) and some other kind of genuine nonlocality (which is known as genuinely nonsignal nonlocality) with the single Alice and single Bob.

More nonlocality with less entanglement in Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt experiments using inefficient detectors

Daniel Dilley, Eric Chitambar

It is well-known that in certain scenarios weakly entangled states can generate stronger nonlocal effects than their maximally entangled counterparts. In this paper, we consider violations of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality when one party has inefficient detectors, a scenario known as an asymmetric Bell experiment. For any fixed detection efficiency, we derive a simple upper bound on the entanglement needed to violate the inequality by more than some specified amount $\ensuremath{\kappa}\ensuremath{\ge}0$. When $\ensuremath{\kappa}=0$, the amount of entanglement in all states violating the inequality goes to zero as the detection efficiency approaches $50%$ from above. We finally consider the scenario in which detection inefficiency arises for only one choice of local measurement. In this case, it is shown that the CHSH inequality can always be violated for any nonzero detection efficiency and any choice of noncommuting measurements.

CHSH inequality always holds in bipartite qutrits with spin-1 observables

Hyunho Cha, Jungwoo Lee

Bell inequalities reveal when quantum correlations cannot be explained by any local hidden-variable model, and the CHSH inequality is the most fundamental test of this phenomenon. While entangled two-qubit states can violate CHSH inequalities with suitable local measurements, the situation is more subtle for higher-dimensional systems when the allowed observables are physically restricted. In this work, we study bipartite qutrit systems in which each party is restricted to spin-1 observables $S(u)=u_xS_x+u_yS_y+u_zS_z$, with $u\in\mathbb R^3$ a unit vector. Hanotel and Loubenets conjectured that nonseparable pure states of two qutrits do not violate the CHSH inequality under this measurement restriction. We prove the stronger result that every bipartite state on $\mathbb C^3\otimes\mathbb C^3$, pure or mixed, satisfies the CHSH inequality for all choices of local spin-1 observables. Thus the absence of CHSH violation is not a property of special states, but a structural limitation of the spin-1 measurement family. Our result clarifies a distinction between two-qutrit entanglement and CHSH nonlocality under natural spin-component measurements.
