Maximal Violation of Bell’s Inequalities for Continuous Variable Systems

Abstract

We generalize Bell's inequalities to biparty systems with continuous quantum variables. This is achieved by introducing the Bell operator in perfect analogy to the usual spin- 1/2 systems. It is then demonstrated that two-mode squeezed vacuum states display quantum nonlocality by using the generalized Bell operator. In particular, the original Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen states, which are the limiting case of the two-mode squeezed vacuum states, can maximally violate Bell's inequality due to Clauser, Horne, Shimony, and Holt. The experimental aspect of our scheme is briefly considered.

Bell's Inequalities for Continuous Quantum Variables and Their Maximal Violation

Zeng‐Bing Chen, Jian-Wei Pan, Hou, G +1 more

We generalize Bell's inequalities to biparticle systems with continuous quantum variables. This is achieved by introducing the Bell operator in perfect analogy to the usual spin-1/2 systems. It is then demonstrated that two-mode squeezed vacuum states display quantum nonlocality by using the generalized Bell operator. In particular, the original Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen entangled states, which are the limiting case of the two-mode squeezed vacuum states, can maximally violate Bell's inequality due to Clauser, Horne, Shimony and Holt. The experimental aspect of our scheme and nonlocality of arbitrary biparticle entangled pure states of continuous variables are briefly considered.

Bell nonlocality in two-mode Gaussian states revealed via local squeezing

A. Lezama, A. Auyuanet

Local unitary operations cannot affect the quantum correlations between two systems sharing an entangled state although they do influence the outcomes of local measurements. By considering local squeezing operations we introduce an extended family of observables allowing violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality for two-mode Gaussian systems. We show that local squeezing can enable or enhance the identification of nonlocal two-mode states. In particular, we show that local squeezing followed by photon--no-photon discrimination can suffice to reveal nonlocality in a broad ensemble of pure and mixed two-mode Gaussian states.

Generalized Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequalities maximally violated by higher-dimensional systems

Tamás Vértesi, Károly F. Pál

Imagine two parties, Alice and Bob, who share an entangled quantum state. A well-established result that if Alice performs a two-outcome measurement on the portion of the state in her possession and Bob does likewise, they are able to produce correlations that cannot be reproduced by any classical theory. The allowed classical correlations can be expressed quantitatively by the Bell inequalities. Here we propose new families of Bell inequalities, as a generalization of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality and show that the maximum violation of these Bell inequalities allowed by quantum theory cannot be attained by a bipartite quantum system having support on a qubit at each site.

Testing quantum contextuality of continuous-variable states

Gerard McKeown, Matteo G. A. Paris, Mauro Paternostro

We investigate the violation of noncontextuality by a class of continuous-variable states, including variations of entangled coherent states and a two-mode continuous superposition of coherent states. We generalize the Kochen-Specker (KS) inequality discussed by Cabello [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 101, 210401 (2008)] by using effective bidimensional observables implemented through physical operations acting on continuous-variable states, in a way similar to an approach to the falsification of Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequalities put forward recently. We test for state-independent violation of KS inequalities under variable degrees of state entanglement and mixedness. We then demonstrate theoretically the violation of a KS inequality for any two-mode state by using pseudospin observables and a generalized quasiprobability function.

Proposed Test of Quantum Nonlocality for Continuous Variables

Hyunchul Nha, H. J. Carmichael

We propose a test of nonlocality for continuous variables using a two-mode squeezed state as the source of nonlocal correlations and a measurement scheme based on conditional homodyne detection. Both the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt and the Clauser-Horne inequality are constructed from the conditional homodyne data and found to be violated for a squeezing parameter larger than r approximately 0.48.

Bell inequality, nonlocality and analyticity

M. Socolovsky, Autónoma México

The Bell and the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequalities are shown to hold for both the cases of complex and real analytic nonlocality in the setting parameters of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Bohm experiments for spin 1/2 particles and photons, in both the deterministic and stochastic cases. Therefore, the theoretical and experimental violation of the inequalities by quantum mechanics excludes all hidden variables theories with that kind of nonlocality. In particular, real analyticity leads to negative definite correlations, in contradiction with quantum mechanics.
