Abstract

Quantum correlation is a fundamental resource for various quantum information tasks. It is thus of importance to share the correlation to utilize it for many parties, but sharing quantum correlation among multiple parties is strictly restricted by the well-known monogamy relations. Nonetheless, this restriction can be relaxed when weak measurements are employed. Here, we experimentally demonstrate multiple-observer quantum steering by exploiting sequential weak measurements. Specifically, we observe simultaneous triple violations of the quantum steering inequality among four observers for a bipartite entangled system. Our results not only provide fundamental insights into the relation between quantum steering and measurement disturbance, but also suggest that quantum steering might be repeatably exploited to find applications to, for example, unbounded randomness certification and sharing secret keys among multiple parties simultaneously.

Sharing quantum steering via standard projective measurements

Shufen Dong, Zinuo Cai, Chunfeng Wu +1 more

We propose a scheme for the sharing of quantum steering among three observers, Alice, Bob, and Charlie, using standard projective measurements. We show that in the unilateral sequential scenario, Alice can steer Bob's and Charlie's states and conversely, Bob and Charlie can steer Alice's state. Unlike the quantum steering sharing achieved through weak measurements, we use the standard projective measurements to enable quantum steering sharing. Quantum steering is demonstrated by the violations of the linear steering inequality among different observer combinations. We find that Alice can simultaneously steer both Bob's and Charlie's states, and Bob and Charlie can simultaneously steer Alice's state, regardless of whether they are in maximally entangled states or partially entangled states. The maximum double violation of the linear steering inequalities obtained from partially entangled states may not be greater in some cases than that obtained from maximally entangled states. Additionally, we verify hybrid quantum correlation sharing through the double violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality and the linear steering inequality. Our results provide an alternative perspective for studying quantum steering and hybrid quantum correlation and may lead to applications in quantum random access code, randomness certification, and self-testing processes.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering in two-sided sequential measurements with one entangled pair

Jie Zhu, Mengjun Hu, Chuan‐Feng Li +2 more

Nonlocality and quantum measurement are two fundamental topics in quantum theory and their interplay attracts intensive focuses since the discovery of Bell theorem. Recently, nonlocality sharing among multiple observers with one entangled pair has been predicted and experimentally observed by generalized quantum measurement---weak measurement. However, only the one-sided sequential case, i.e., one Alice and multiple Bobs, is widely discussed and little is known about the two-sided case. Here, we theoretically and experimentally explore the nonlocality sharing in the two-sided sequential measurements case in which one entangled pair is distributed to multiple Alices and Bobs. We experimentally observed double Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering among four observers in a photonic system. In the case that all observers adopt the same measurement strength of the weak measurement, it is observed that double EPR steering can be demonstrated simultaneously. The results not only deepen our understanding of relation between sequential measurements and nonlocality but also may find important applications in many quantum information tasks, such as randomness certification.

Steering a single system sequentially by multiple observers

Souradeep Sasmal, Debarshi Das, Shiladitya Mal +1 more

Quantum mechanics puts a restriction on the number of observers who can simultaneously steer another observer's system, known as the monogamy of steering. In this work, we find the limit of the number of observers (Bobs) who can steer another party's (Alice's) system, invoking a scenario where half of an entangled pair is shared between a single Alice in one wing and several Bobs on the other wing, who act sequentially and independently of each other. When all the observers measure two dichotomic observables, we find that two Bobs can steer Alice's system, going beyond the monogamy restriction. We further show that three Bobs can steer Alice's system, considering a three-settings linear steering inequality, and then conjecture that, at most, $n$ Bobs can demonstrate steering of Alice's system when steering is probed through an $n$-settings linear steering inequality.

Demonstration of Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen Steering with Multiple Observers via Sequential Measurements

Jian Li, Zhou Yang, Qin Wang

Quantum correlation is a fundamental property that distinguishes quantum systems from classical ones, and is also a fragile resource under projective measurements. Recently, it has been shown that a subsystem in entangled pairs can share nonlocalities with multiple observers in sequence. Here we present a new steering scenario where both subsystems are accessible by multiple observers. Simulation results show that the two qubits in a singlet state can be simultaneously steered separately by two sequential observers.

Observation of nonlocality sharing via not-so-weak measurements

Tianfeng Feng, Changliang Ren, Yuling Tian +4 more

Nonlocality plays a fundamental role in quantum information science. Recently, it has been theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated that the nonlocality of an entangled pair may be shared among multiple observers using weak measurements with moderate strength. Here we devise an optimal protocol of nonlocality sharing among three observers and show experimentally that nonlocality sharing may be also achieved using weak measurements with near-maximum strength. Our result sheds light on the interplay between nonlocality and quantum measurements and may find applications in quantum steering, unbounded randomness certification, and quantum communication network.
