Bells theorem without inequalities and only two distant observers

P. K. Aravind

Published Jan 1, 2001• 41 citations

Abstract

A new proof of Bell’s theorem without inequalities is presented by considering an entangled state of four qubits shared between two observers. A scheme for quantum key distribution based on this proof is also discussed.

State-Independent Proofs of Bell's Theorem Without Inequalities and Bell Inequality for Four-Qubit System

Changyong Chen, Kelin Gao

A state-dependent proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities using the product state of any two maximally entangled states (Bell states) of two qubits for two observers in an ideal condition, each of which possesses two qubits, is proposed. It is different from the other proofs in which there exists a fundamental requirement that certain specific suitable Bell states have been chosen. Moreover, in any non-ideal situation, a common Bell inequality independent of the choices of the 16-product states is derived, which is used to test the contradiction between quantum mechanics and local reality theory in the reach of current experimental technology.

Bell's Theorem without Inequalities and without Probabilities for Two Observers

Adán Cabello

A proof of Bell's theorem using two maximally entangled states of two qubits is presented. It exhibits a similar logical structure to Hardy's argument of "nonlocality without inequalities." However, it works for 100% of the runs of a certain experiment. Therefore, it can also be viewed as a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-like proof involving only two spacelike separated regions.

Bell’s Theorem without Inequalities and without Alignments

Adán Cabello

A proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities is presented which exhibits three remarkable properties: (a). reduced local states are immune to collective decoherence; (b). distant local setups do not need to be aligned, since the required perfect correlations are achieved for any local rotation of the local setups; (c). local measurements require only individual measurements on the qubits. Indeed, it is shown that this proof is essentially the only one which fulfills (a). (b). and (c).

Mermin's pentagram and Bell's theorem

P. K. Aravind

It is shown how a proof of the Bell-Kochen-Specker (BKS) theorem given by Kernaghan and Peres can be experimentally realized using a scheme of measurements derived from a related proof of the same theorem by Mermin. It is also pointed out that if this BKS experiment is carried out independently by two distant observers who repeatedly make measurements on a specially correlated state of six qubits, it provides an inequality-free demonstration of Bell's theorem as well.

Bell’s theorem with and without inequalities for the three-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger andWstates

Adán Cabello

A proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities valid for both inequivalent classes of three-qubit entangled states under local operations assisted by classical communication, namely Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) and $W,$ is described. This proof leads to a Bell inequality that allows more conclusive tests of Bell's theorem for three-qubit systems. Another Bell inequality involving both tri- and bipartite correlations is introduced which illustrates the different violations of local realism exhibited by the GHZ and $W$ states.

“All versus Nothing” Inseparability for Two Observers

Adán Cabello

A recent proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 1911 (2001)] is formulated as a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type proof involving just two observers. On one hand, this new approach allows us to derive an experimentally testable Bell inequality which is violated by quantum mechanics. On the other hand, it leads to a new state-independent proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem and provides a wider perspective on the relations between the major proofs of no hidden variables.
