ON THE EQUIVALENCE OF THE CH AND CHSH INEQUALITIES FOR TWO THREE-LEVEL SYSTEMS

Jose Luis Cereceda

Abstract

In this paper we show a Clauser-Horne (CH) inequality for two three-level quantum systems or qutrits, alternative to the CH inequality given by Kaszlikowski et al. [Phys. Rev. A65, 032118 (2002)]. In contrast to this latter CH inequality, the new one is shown to be equivalent to the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality for two qutrits given by Collins et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 040404 (2002)]. Both the CH and CHSH inequalities exhibit the strongest resistance to noise for a nonmaximally entangled state for the case of two von Neumann measurements per site, as first shown by Acin et al. [Phys. Rev. A65, 052325 (2002)]. This equivalence, however, breaks down when one takes into account the less-than-perfect quantum efficiency of detectors. Indeed, for the noiseless case, the threshold quantum efficiency above which there is no local and realistic description of the experiment for the optimal choice of measurements is found to be [Formula: see text] for the CH inequality, whereas it is equal to [Formula: see text] for the CHSH inequality.

Clauser-Horne inequality for three-state systems

Dagomir Kaszlikowski, L. C. Kwek, Jing‐Ling Chen +2 more

We show a new Bell-Clauser-Horne inequality for two entangled three-dimensional quantum systems (so-called qutrits). This inequality is not violated by a maximally entangled state of two qutrits observed through a symmetric three-input- and three-output-port beam splitter only if the amount of noise in the system is greater than $(11\ensuremath{-}6\sqrt{3})/2\ensuremath{\approx}0.308.$ This result is in a perfect agreement with the previous numerical calculations presented in Kaszlikowski et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 85, 4418 (2000)]. Moreover, we prove that for noiseless case, the necessary and sufficient condition for the threshold quantum efficiency of detectors below which there is no violation of local realism for the optimal choice of observables is equal to $6(15\ensuremath{-}4\sqrt{3})/59\ensuremath{\approx}0.821.$ This efficiency result again agrees with the numerical predictions.

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).

General Correlation Functions of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Inequality for Arbitrarily High-Dimensional Systems

Libin Fu

We generalize the correlation functions of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality to arbitrarily high-dimensional systems. Based on this generalization, we construct the general CHSH inequality for bipartite quantum systems of arbitrarily high dimensionality, which takes the same simple form as CHSH inequality for two dimensions. This inequality is optimal in the same sense as the CHSH inequality for two-dimensional systems, namely, the maximal amount by which the inequality is violated consists of the maximal resistance to noise. We also discuss the physical meaning and general definition of the correlation functions. Furthermore, by giving another specific set of the correlation functions with the same physical meaning, we realize the inequality presented by Collins et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 040404 (2002)]].

Clauser-Horne inequality for qutrits

Dagomir Kaszlikowski, L. C. Kwek, Jing‐Ling Chen +2 more

In this brief report we show the new Bell-Clauser-Horne inequality for two entangled three dimensional quantum systems (so called qutrits). This inequality is violated by a maximally entangled state of two qutrits observed via symmetric three input and three output port beamsplitter only if the amount of noise in the system equals ${11-6\sqrt3 \over 2}\approx 0.308$. This is in perfect agreement with the previous numerical calculations presented in Kaszlikowski {\it et. al.} Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 85}, 4418 (2000).

More nonlocality with less entanglement in Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt experiments using inefficient detectors

Daniel Dilley, Eric Chitambar

It is well-known that in certain scenarios weakly entangled states can generate stronger nonlocal effects than their maximally entangled counterparts. In this paper, we consider violations of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality when one party has inefficient detectors, a scenario known as an asymmetric Bell experiment. For any fixed detection efficiency, we derive a simple upper bound on the entanglement needed to violate the inequality by more than some specified amount $\ensuremath{\kappa}\ensuremath{\ge}0$. When $\ensuremath{\kappa}=0$, the amount of entanglement in all states violating the inequality goes to zero as the detection efficiency approaches $50%$ from above. We finally consider the scenario in which detection inefficiency arises for only one choice of local measurement. In this case, it is shown that the CHSH inequality can always be violated for any nonzero detection efficiency and any choice of noncommuting measurements.

Quantum nonlocality in two three-level systems

Antonio Acín, Thomas Durt, Nicolas Gisin +1 more

Recently a new Bell inequality has been introduced by Collins et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 040404 (2002)], which is strongly resistant to noise for maximally entangled states of two d-dimensional quantum systems. We prove that a larger violation, or equivalently a stronger resistance to noise, is found for a nonmaximally entangled state. It is shown that the resistance to noise is not a good measure of nonlocality and we introduce some other possible measures. The nonmaximally entangled state turns out to be more robust also for these alternative measures. From these results it follows that two von Neumann measurements per party may be not optimal for detecting nonlocality. For $d=3,4,$ we point out some connections between this inequality and distillability. Indeed, we demonstrate that any state violating it, with the optimal von Neumann settings, is distillable.
