Genuinely multi-point temporal quantum correlations

Abstract

Due to a restrictive scenario of sequential projective measurements, multi-point temporal quantum correlations were thought to factorize into two-point ones. We show that sequential generalized measurements lead to genuinely multi-point temporal correlations, which enable us to translate typical spatial genuinely multipartite nonlocal phenomena, like Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger paradox, into the temporal scenario.

Genuinely multipoint temporal quantum correlations and universal measurement-based quantum computing

Marcin Markiewicz, Anna Przysiężna, STEPHEN D. BRIERLEY +1 more

We introduce a constructive procedure that maps all spatial correlations of a broad class of $d$-level states of $N$ parties into temporal correlations between general $d$-outcome quantum measurements performed on a single $d$-level system. This allows us to present temporal phenomena analogous to genuinely multipartite nonlocal phenomena, such as Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger correlations, which do not exist if only projective measurements on a single qubit are considered. The map is applied to certain lattice systems in order to replace one spatial dimension with a temporal one, without affecting measured correlations. We use this map to show how repeated application of a one-dimensional (1D) cluster gate leads to universal one-way quantum computing when supplemented with general two-outcome quantum measurements. In this way, we recover a temporal version of measurement-based quantum computing performed on a sequentially recreated 1D cluster.

Multi-time quantum correlations with no spatial analog

Martin Ringbauer, Fabio Costa, M. E. Goggin +2 more

Abstract Multipartite quantum correlations are a powerful resource that underpins applications from quantum metrology to quantum computing. While most research has focused on spatial correlations, it is now becoming clear that a sequence of measurements on a single quantum system at different points in time reveals a similarly rich, yet fundamentally different structure of multipartite temporal correlations. Here we experimentally observe genuine multi-time correlations in a sequence of three generalized measurements on a single photon. These correlations, manifest by a simultaneous violation of all pairwise Bell inequalities, cannot be reproduced by any spatial quantum state of equal dimension. Our work lays the foundation for the exploration of temporal correlations arising in quantum networks for quantum information applications.

Genuine multipartite entanglement in time

Simon Milz, Cornelia Spee, Zhen‐Peng Xu +3 more

While spatial quantum correlations have been studied in great detail, much less is known about the genuine quantum correlations that can be exhibited by temporal processes. Employing the quantum comb formalism, processes in time can be mapped onto quantum states, with the crucial difference that temporal correlations have to satisfy causal ordering, while their spatial counterpart is not constrained in the same way. Here, we exploit this equivalence and use the tools of multipartite entanglement theory to provide a comprehensive picture of the structure of correlations that (causally ordered) temporal quantum processes can display. First, focusing on the case of a process that is probed at two points in time -- which can equivalently be described by a tripartite quantum state -- we provide necessary as well as sufficient conditions for the presence of bipartite entanglement in different splittings. Next, we connect these scenarios to the previously studied concepts of quantum memory, entanglement breaking superchannels, and quantum steering, thus providing both a physical interpretation for entanglement in temporal quantum processes, and a determination of the resources required for its creation. Additionally, we construct explicit examples of W-type and GHZ-type genuinely multipartite entangled two-time processes and prove that genuine multipartite entanglement in temporal processes can be an emergent phenomenon. Finally, we show that genuinely entangled processes across multiple times exist for any number of probing times.

Tripartite realism-based quantum nonlocality

D. M. Fucci, R. M. Angelo

From an operational criterion of physical reality, a quantifier of realism-based nonlocality was recently introduced for two-part quantum states. This measure has been shown to capture aspects that are rather different from Bell nonlocality. Here we take a step further and introduce a tripartite realism-based nonlocality quantifier. We show that this measure reduces to genuine tripartite entanglement for a certain class of pure tripartite states and manifests itself in correlated mixed states even in the absence of quantum correlations. A case study for noisy Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and $W$ states points out the existence of scenarios where the realism-based nonlocality is monogamous.

Structure of quantum and broadcasting nonlocal correlations

Debashis Saha, Marcin Pawłowski

The multipartite setting offers much more complexity of nonlocality than the bipartite one. We analyze the structure of tripartite nonlocal correlations by proposing inequalities satisfied by each of type bilocal, broadcasting, and quantum but violated by the other two. One of the inequalities satisfied by broadcasting correlations is generalized for multipartite systems. The study of its quantum mechanical violation reveals that Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-like states exhibit new, powerful correlations.
