Two qubits of a W state violate Bell’s inequality beyond Cirel’son’s bound

Abstract

It is shown that the correlations between two qubits selected from a trio prepared in a W state violate the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality more than the correlations between two qubits in any quantum state. Such a violation beyond Cirel'son's bound is smaller than the one achieved by two qubits selected from a trio in a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 060403 (2002)]. However, it has the advantage that all local observers can know from their own measurements whether or not their qubits belong to the selected pair.

Violating Bell's Inequality Beyond Cirel'son's Bound

Adán Cabello

Cirel'son inequality states that the absolute value of the combination of quantum correlations appearing in the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality is bound by 2 square root of (2). It is shown that the correlations of two qubits belonging to a three-qubit system can violate the CHSH inequality beyond 2 square root of (2). Such a violation is not in conflict with Cirel'son's inequality because it is based on postselected systems. The maximum allowed violation of the CHSH inequality, 4, can be achieved using a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state.

Experimental Violation of Bell’s Inequality beyond Tsirelson’s Bound

Yu-Ao Chen, Tao Yang, An‐Ning Zhang +3 more

The correlations between two qubits belonging to a three-qubit system can violate the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt-Bell inequality beyond Tsirelson's bound [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 060403 (2002)]. We experimentally demonstrate such a violation by 7 standard deviations by using a three-photon polarization-entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state produced by Type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion. In addition, using part of our results, we obtain a violation of the Mermin inequality by 39 standard deviations.

Variant of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality

Zeqian Chen

We construct a Bell inequality from the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality for two qubits that provides a stronger bound on the correlations of entangled states than allowed by the CHSH inequality. The argument involved here can be generalized to $n$ qubits. The inequalities obtained are violated by all the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of multiqubits.

Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt correlation and Clauser-Horne correlation do not lead to the largest violations of Bell’s inequality

M. Ardehali

An inequality is deduced from Einstein's locality and a supplementary assumption. This inequality defines an experiment that can actually be performed with present technology to test local realism. Quantum mechanics violates this inequality a factor of 1.5. In contrast, quantum mechanics violates previous inequalities [for example, those of J. F. Clauser, M. A. Horne, A. Shimony, and R. A. Holt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 23, 880 (1969); S. J. Freedman and I. F. Clauser ibid. 28, 938 (1972); and J. F. Clauser and M. A. Horne, Phys. Rev. D 10, 526 (1974)] by a factor of $\sqrt{2}.$ Thus the magnitude of violation of the inequality derived in this paper is approximately 20.7% larger than the magnitude of violation of previous inequalities. This result can be particularly important for the experimental test of locality.

Maximal violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality for two qutrits

Libin Fu, Jing‐Ling Chen, Xian-Geng Zhao

The Bell--Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (BCHSH) inequality (in terms of correlation functions) of two qutrits is studied in detail by employing tritter measurements. A uniform formula for the maximum value of this inequality for tritter measurements is obtained. Based on this formula, we show that nonmaximally entangled states violate the BCHSH inequality more strongly than the maximally entangled one. This result is consistent with what was obtained by Ac\'{\i}n et al. [Phys. Rev. A $65,$ 052325 (2002)] using the Bell--Clauser-Horne inequality (in terms of probabilities).

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.
