Abstract

By applying Hardy’s argument, we demonstrate the violation of local realism in a gedanken experiment using independent and separated particle sources.

Do Hardy-type proposals test nonlocality of single-particle?

Antoine Suárez

It is argued that Hardy-type proposals assume either nonlocality at detection, and then beg the question, or "local empty waves" (local hidden variables), and then have to accept "many worlds" and cannot prove nonlocality.

Position-momentum local-realism violation of the Hardy type

Bernard Yurke, Mark S. Hillery, David Stoler

We show that it is, in principle, possible to perform local-realism violating experiments of the Hardy type in which only position and momentum measurements are made on two particles emanating from a common source. In the optical domain, homodyne detection of the in-phase and out-of-phase amplitude components of an electromagnetic field is analogous to position and momentum measurement. Hence, local realism violations of the Hardy type are possible in optical systems employing only homodyne detection.

Chain of Hardy-type local reality constraints for n qubits

Sibasish Ghosh A, Shasanka Mohan Roy

Nonlocality without inequality is an elegant argument introduced by Hardy for two qubit systems, and later generalised to n qubits, to establish contradiction of quantum theory with local realism. Interestingly, for n = 2 this argument is actually a corollary of Bell-type inequalities, viz., the CH–Hardy inequality involving Bell correlations, but for n greater than two it involves n-particle probabilities more general than Bell-correlations. In this paper, we first derive a chain of completely new local realistic inequalities involving joint probabilities for n qubits and then associated with each such inequality, we provide a new Hardy-type local reality constraint without inequalities. Quantum mechanical maximal violations of the chain of inequalities and of the associated constraints are also studied by deriving appropriate Cirel'son-type theorems. These results involving joint probabilities more general than Bell correlations are expected to provide a new systematic tool to investigate entanglement.

Extreme Violation of Local Realism in Quantum Hypergraph States

Mariami Gachechiladze, Costantino Budroni, Otfried Gühne

Hypergraph states form a family of multiparticle quantum states that generalizes the well-known concept of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, cluster states, and more broadly graph states. We study the nonlocal properties of quantum hypergraph states. We demonstrate that the correlations in hypergraph states can be used to derive various types of nonlocality proofs, including Hardy-type arguments and Bell inequalities for genuine multiparticle nonlocality. Moreover, we show that hypergraph states allow for an exponentially increasing violation of local realism which is robust against loss of particles. Our results suggest that certain classes of hypergraph states are novel resources for quantum metrology and measurement-based quantum computation.
