All tight correlation Bell inequalities have quantum violations (original) (raw)

Violation of all two-party facet Bell inequalities by almost-quantum correlations

Physical Review Research, 2021

The characterization of the set of quantum correlations is a problem of fundamental importance in quantum information. The question whether every proper (tight) Bell inequality is violated in quantum theory is an intriguing one in this regard. Here we make significant progress in answering this question, by showing that every tight Bell inequality is violated by "almost-quantum" correlations, a semidefinite programming relaxation of the set of quantum correlations. As a consequence, we show that many (classes of) Bell inequalities including two-party correlation Bell inequalities and multioutcome nonlocal computation games, which do not admit quantum violations, are not facets of the classical Bell polytope. To do this, we make use of the intriguing connections between Bell correlations and the graph-theoretic Lovász-theta set, discovered by Cabello-Severini-Winter (CSW). We also exploit connections between the cut polytope of graph theory and the classical correlation Bell polytope, to show that correlation Bell inequalities that define facets of the lower dimensional correlation polytope are violated in quantum theory.

New Facet Bell inequalities for multi-qubit states

arXiv: Quantum Physics, 2018

Non-trivial facet inequalities play important role in detecting and quantifying the nonolocality of a state -- specially a pure state. Such inequalities are expected to be tight. Number of such inequalities depends on the Bell test scenario. With the increase in the number of parties, dimensionality of the Hilbert space, or/and the number of measurements, there are more nontrivial facet inequalities. By considering a specific measurement scenario, we find that for any multipartite qubit state, local polytope can have only one nontrivial facet. Therefore there exist a possibility that only one Bell inequality, and its permutations, would be able to detect the nonlocality of a pure state. The scenario involves two dichotomic measurement settings for two parties and one dichotomic measurement by other parties. This measurement scenario for a multipartite state may be considered as minimal scenario involving multipartite correlations that can detect nonlocality. We present detailed resu...

Equivalence between Bell inequalities and quantum game theory

arXiv (Cornell University), 2008

We show that, for a continuous set of entangled four-partite states, the task of maximizing the payoff in the symmetric-strategy four-player quantum Minority game is equivalent to maximizing the violation of a four-particle Bell inequality with each observer choosing the same set of two dichotomic observables. We conclude the existence of direct correspondences between (i) the payoff rule and Bell inequalities, and (ii) the strategy and the choice of measured observables in evaluating these Bell inequalities.

Geometrical Bell inequalities for arbitrarily many qudits with different outcome strategies

Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical, 2015

Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states are intuitively known to be the most non-classical ones. They lead to the most radically nonclassical behavior of three or more entangled quantum subsystems. However, in case of two-dimensional systems, it has been shown that GHZ states lead to more robustness of Bell nonclassicality in case of geometrical inequalities than in case of Mermin inequalities. We investigate various strategies of constructing geometrical Bell inequalities (BIs) for GHZ states for any dimensionality of subsystems.

Equivalence between Bell inequalities and quantum minority games

Physics Letters A, 2009

We show that, for a continuous set of entangled four-partite states, the task of maximizing the payoff in the symmetric-strategy four-player quantum Minority game is equivalent to maximizing the violation of a four-particle Bell inequality. We conclude the existence of direct correspondences between (i) the payoff rule and Bell inequalities, and (ii) the strategy and the choice of measured observables in evaluating these Bell inequalities. We also show that such a correspondence is unique to minority-like games.

Constructing quantum games from a system of Bell's inequalities

We report constructing quantum games directly from a system of Bell's inequalities using Arthur Fine's analysis published in early 1980s. This analysis showed that such a system of inequalities forms a set of both necessary and sufficient conditions required to find a joint distribution function compatible with a given set of joint probabilities, in terms of which the system of Bell's inequalities is usually expressed. Using the setting of a quantum correlation experiment for playing a quantum game, and considering the examples of Prisoners' Dilemma and Matching Pennies, we argue that this approach towards constructing quantum games addresses some of their well-known criticisms.

Large Violation of Bell Inequalities with Low Entanglement

Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2011

In this paper we obtain violations of general bipartite Bell inequalities of order √ n log n with n inputs, n outputs and n-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Moreover, we construct explicitly, up to a random choice of signs, all the elements involved in such violations: the coefficients of the Bell inequalities, POVMs measurements and quantum states. Analyzing this construction we find that, even though entanglement is necessary to obtain violation of Bell inequalities, the Entropy of entanglement of the underlying state is essentially irrelevant in obtaining large violation. We also indicate why the maximally entangled state is a rather poor candidate in producing large violations with arbitrary coefficients. However, we also show that for Bell inequalities with positive coefficients (in particular, games) the maximally entangled state achieves the largest violation up to a logarithmic factor.
