Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering for Mixed Entangled Coherent States

Abstract

By using the Born Markovian master equation, we study the relationship among the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering, Bell nonlocality, and quantum entanglement of entangled coherent states (ECSs) under decoherence. We illustrate the dynamical behavior of the three types of correlations for various optical field strength regimes. In general, we find that correlation measurements begin at their maximum and decline over time. We find that quantum steering and nonlocality behave similarly in terms of photon number during dynamics. Furthermore, we discover that ECSs with steerability can violate the Bell inequality, and that not every ECS with Bell nonlocality is steerable. In the current work, without the memory stored in the environment, some of the initial states with maximal values of quantum steering, Bell nonlocality, and entanglement can provide a delayed loss of that value during temporal evolution, which is of interest to the current study.

Some remarks on Bell non-locality and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering of bipartite states

Huaixin Cao, Zhihua Guo

Bell nonlocality and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering are every important quantum correlations of a composite quantum system. Bell nonlocality of a bipartite state is a quantum correlation demonstrated by some local quantum measurements, while EPR steering is another form of quantum correlations, observed firstly by Schrodinger in the context of famous EPR paradox. In this paper, we give some remarks on Bell nonlocality and EPR steering of bipartite states, including mathematical definitions and characterizations of these two quantum correlations, the convexity and closedness of the set of all Bell local states and the set of all EPR unsteerable states. We also derive a EPR-steering criteria, with which the EPR steerability of the maximally entangled states are checked.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering Inequalities and Applications

Ying Yang, Huaixin Cao

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is very important quantum correlation of a composite quantum system. It is an intermediate type of nonlocal correlation between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. In this paper, based on introducing definitions and characterizations of EPR steering, some EPR steering inequalities are derived. With these inequalities, the steerability of the maximally entangled state is checked and some conditions for the steerability of the X -states are obtained.

Bell's Nonlocality Can be Tested through Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering

Jing‐Ling Chen, Xiang-Jun Ye

Quantum nonlocality has recently been classified into three distinct types: quantum entanglement, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering, and Bell's nonlocality. Experimentally Bell's nonlocality is usually tested by quantum violation of the Clause-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality in the two-qubit system. Bell's nonlocality is the strongest type of nonlocality, also due this reason Bell-test experiments have encountered both the locality loophole and the detection loophole for a very long time. As a weaker nonlocality, EPR steering naturally escapes from the locality loophole and is correspondingly easier to be demonstrated without the detection loophole. In this work, we trigger an extraordinary approach to investigate Bell's nonlocality, which is strongly based on the EPR steering. We present a theorem, showing that for any two-qubit state $τ$, if its mapped state $ρ$ is EPR steerable, then the state $τ$ must be Bell nonlocal. The result not only pinpoints a deep connection between EPR steering and Bell's nonlocality, but also sheds a new light to realize a loophole-free Bell-test experiment (without the CHSH inequality) through the violation of steering inequality.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations and Bell correlations in the simplest scenario

Quan Quan, Huangjun Zhu, Heng Fan +1 more

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is an intermediate type of quantum nonlocality which sits between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. A set of correlations is Bell nonlocal if it does not admit a local hidden variable (LHV) model, while it is EPR nonlocal if it does not admit a local hidden variable--local hidden state (LHV-LHS) model. It is interesting to know what states can generate EPR-nonlocal correlations in the simplest nontrivial scenario, that is, two projective measurements for each party sharing a two-qubit state. Here we show that a two-qubit state can generate EPR-nonlocal full correlations (excluding marginal statistics) in this scenario if and only if it can generate Bell-nonlocal correlations. If full statistics (including marginal statistics) is taken into account, surprisingly, the same scenario can manifest the simplest one-way steering and the strongest hierarchy between steering and Bell nonlocality. To illustrate these intriguing phenomena in simple setups, several concrete examples are discussed in detail, which facilitates experimental demonstration. In the course of study, we introduce the concept of restricted LHS models and thereby derive a necessary and sufficient semidefinite-programming criterion to determine the steerability of any bipartite state under given measurements. Analytical criteria are further derived in several scenarios of strong theoretical and experimental interest.

Bell Nonlocality and EPR Steering Decay in Dephasing Hyperfine Spins

K. Berrada, Smail B. Bougouffa

This work presents a comprehensive study of quantum correlations and their degradation under environmental dephasing within the atomic hydrogen system. By analyzing the magnetic coupling between the electron and proton spins in the 1s hyperfine state, we elucidate how coherent spin interactions generate entangled states and govern their temporal evolution. The investigation focuses on three key measures of quantum correlations—Bell nonlocality, Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) steering, and quantum purity—each reflecting a different level within the hierarchy of nonclassical correlations. Analytical formulations and numerical simulations reveal that, in the absence of decay, all quantities remain steady, indicating the preservation of coherence. When dephasing is introduced, each measure decays exponentially toward a stationary lower bound, with Bell nonlocality identified as the most fragile, followed by steering and purity. A three-dimensional analysis of Werner states under dephasing further establishes the critical purity thresholds required for Bell inequality violations. The results highlight the interdependence between magnetic coupling, decoherence, and initial entanglement, providing a unified framework for understanding correlation dynamics in open quantum systems. These findings have direct implications for the development of noise-resilient quantum information protocols and spin-based quantum technologies, where preserving nonlocal correlations is essential for reliable quantum operations.

Quantifying quantum steering

Paul Skrzypczyk, Miguel Navascués, Daniel Cavalcanti

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is a form of bipartite quantum correlation that is intermediate between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. It allows for entanglement certification when the measurements performed by one of the parties are not characterised (or are untrusted) and has applications in quantum key distribution. Despite its foundational and applied importance, EPR steering lacks a quantitative assessment. Here we propose a way of quantifying this phenomenon and use it to study the steerability of several quantum states. In particular we show that every pure entangled state is maximally steerable, the projector onto the anti-symmetric subspace is maximally steerable for all dimensions, we provide a new example of one-way steering, and give strong support that states with positive-partial-transposition are not steerable.
