Quantum correlation and Grothendieck's constant

Abstract

The best upper bound for the violation of the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt (CHSH) inequality was first derived by Tsirelson. For increasing number of ±1 valued observables on both sites of the correlation experiment, Tsirelson obtained the Grothendieck's constant as a limit for the maximal violation. In this paper, we construct a generalization of the CHSH inequality with four ±1 valued observables on both sites of a correlation experiment and show that the quantum violation approaches 1.58. Moreover, we estimate the maximal quantum violation of a correlation experiment for large and equal number of ±1 valued observables on both sites. In this case, the maximal quantum violation converges to for very large n , which coincides with the approximate value of Grothendieck's constant.

Tsirelson bounds for generalized Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequalities

Stephanie Wehner

Quantum theory imposes a strict limit on the strength of nonlocal correlations. It only allows for a violation of the Clauser, Horne, Shimony, and Holt (CHSH) inequality up to the value $2\sqrt{2}$, known as Tsirelson's bound. In this paper, we consider generalized CHSH inequalities based on many measurement settings with two possible measurement outcomes each. We demonstrate how to prove Tsirelson bounds for any such generalized CHSH inequality using semidefinite programming. As an example, we show that for any shared entangled state and observables ${X}_{1},\dots{},{X}_{n}$ and ${Y}_{1},\dots{},{Y}_{n}$ with eigenvalues $\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}1$ we have $\ensuremath{\mid}⟨{X}_{1}{Y}_{1}⟩+⟨{X}_{2}{Y}_{1}⟩+⟨{X}_{2}{Y}_{2}⟩+⟨{X}_{3}{Y}_{2}⟩+\ensuremath{\cdots}+⟨{X}_{n}{Y}_{n}⟩\ensuremath{-}⟨{X}_{1}{Y}_{n}⟩\ensuremath{\mid}\ensuremath{\leqslant}2n\phantom{\rule{0.2em}{0ex}}\mathrm{cos}[\ensuremath{\pi}∕(2n)]$. It is well known that there exist observables such that equality can be achieved. However, we show that these are indeed optimal. Our approach can easily be generalized to other inequalities for such observables.

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)]].

Maximal violations of a Bell inequality by entangled spin-coherent states

Christopher C. Gerry, Adil Benmoussa, Edwin E. Hach +1 more

We study the violation of the Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (Bell-CHSH) inequality for two-spin systems, of arbitrary spins ${j}_{1}$ and ${j}_{2}$, prepared in an entanglement of spin-coherent states of each of the spins. We show that the Bell-CHSH inequality is quite robustly violated for a wide range of values of the parameters that specify the spin-coherent states, and, for a particular choice of these parameters, maximal violations are obtained. That is, the violations can reach the Tsirelson bound, $2\sqrt{2}$, for any choices of the spins.

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.

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.

New Bell inequalities for the singlet state: Going beyond the Grothendieck bound

Pitowsky, I

Contemporary versions of Bell's argument against local hidden variable (LHV) theories are based on the Clauser Horne Shimony and Holt (CHSH) inequality, and various attempts to generalize it. The amount of violation of these inequalities cannot exceed the bound set by the Grothendieck constants. However, if we go back to the original derivation by Bell, and use the perfect anti-correlation embodied in the singlet spin state, we can go beyond these bounds. In this paper we derive two-particle Bell inequalities for traceless two-outcome observables, whose violation in the singlet spin state go beyond the Grothendieck constant both for the two and three dimensional cases. Moreover, creating a higher dimensional analog of perfect correlations, and applying a recent result of Alon and his associates (Invent. Math. 163 499 (2006)) we prove that there are two-particle Bell inequalities for traceless two-outcome observables whose violation increases to infinity as the dimension and number of measurements grow. Technically these result are possible because perfect correlations (or anti-correlations) allow us to transport the indices of the inequality from the edges of a bipartite graph to those of the complete graph. Finally, it is shown how to apply these results to mixed Werner states, provided that the noise does not exceed 20%.
