Characterization of maximally entangled two-qubit states via the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality

Abstract

Maximally entangled states should maximally violate the Bell inequality. It is proved that all two-qubit states that maximally violate the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality are exactly Bell states and the states obtained from them by local transformations. The proof is obtained by using the certain algebraic properties that Pauli's matrices satisfy. The argument is extended to the three-qubit system. Since all states obtained by local transformations of a maximally entangled state are equally valid entangled states, we thus give the characterizations of maximally entangled states in both the two-qubit and three-qubit systems in terms of the Bell inequality.

Bell-Klyshko Inequalities to Characterize Maximally Entangled Statesof n Qubits

Zeqian Chen

This Letter presents the first rigorous proof of the conjecture raised by Gisin and Bechmann-Pasquinucci [Phys. Lett. A 246, 1 (1998)]], that the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of n qubits and the states obtained from them by local unitary transformations are the unique states that maximally violate the Bell-Klyshko inequalities. The proof is obtained by using the certain algebraic properties that Pauli's matrices satisfy and some subtle mathematical techniques. Since all states obtained by local unitary transformations of a maximally entangled state are equally valid entangled states, we thus give a characterization of maximally entangled states of n qubits in terms of the Bell-type inequality.

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).

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.

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.

Generalization of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality self-testing maximally entangled states of any local dimension

Andrea Coladangelo

The Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality (CHSH) is one of the most popular and well-studied witnesses of Bell's theorem, separating classical from quantum correlations. In this work, for every $d\ensuremath{\ge}2$, we present a generalization of the CHSH inequality with the property that maximal violation is achieved uniquely by the maximally entangled state of local dimension $d$. This provides an avenue for device-independent certification of maximally entangled states of arbitrary local dimension.

Multisetting Bell inequality for qudits

Se-Wan Ji, Jinhyoung Lee, James Lim +2 more

We propose a generalized Bell inequality for two three-dimensional systems with three settings in each local measurement. It is shown that this inequality is maximally violated if local measurements are configured to be mutually unbiased and a composite state is maximally entangled. This feature is similar to Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality for two qubits but is in contrast with the two types of inequalities, Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu and Son-Lee-Kim, for high-dimensional systems. The generalization to aribitrary prime-dimensional systems is discussed.
