It is difficult to establish an analytical criterion to identify the boundaries of quantum correlations, even for the simplest Bell scenario. Here, we briefly reviewed the plausible analytical criterion, and we found a way to confirm the extremal conditions from another direction. For that purpose, we analyzed the Navascués-Pironio-Acín (NPA) hierarchy to study the algebraic structure and found that the problem could not be simplified using the 1+AB level. However, considering the plausible criterion, the 1+AB and second levels for correlations were equal, and the extremal condition in the simplest Bell scenario was replaced by that in the 1+AB level. Thus, the correctness of the plausible criterion was verified, and the results demonstrated that the plausible criterion held, thereby explaining its simplicity. It seemed plausible, but now it becomes more certain.

Information Causality as a Tool for Bounding the Set of Quantum Correlations.

Phys Rev Lett

October 2024

Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf, Universitätsstraße 1, 40225 Düsseldorf, Germany.

Information causality was initially proposed as a physical principle aimed at deriving the predictions of quantum mechanics on the type of correlations observed in the Bell experiment. In the same work, information causality was famously shown to imply the Uffink inequality that approximates the set of quantum correlations and rederives Tsirelson's bound of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality. This result found limited generalizations due to the difficulty of deducing implications of the information causality principle on the set of nonlocal correlations.

Unmasking the polygamous nature of quantum nonlocality.

Quantum mechanics imposes limits on the statistics of certain observables. Perhaps the most famous example is the uncertainty principle. Similar trade-offs also exist for the simultaneous violation of multiple Bell inequalities.

Loophole-Free Test of Local Realism via Hardy's Violation.

Phys Rev Lett

August 2024

Hefei National Research Center for Physical Sciences at the Microscale and School of Physical Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei 230026, China.

Bell's theorem states that the quantum mechanical description of physical quantities cannot be fully explained by local realistic theories, laying a solid basis for various quantum information applications. Hardy's paradox is celebrated as the simplest form of Bell's theorem concerning its "All versus Nothing" approach to test local realism. However, due to experimental imperfections, existing tests of Hardy's paradox require additional assumptions of the experimental systems, and these assumptions constitute potential loopholes for faithfully testing local realistic theories.

Quantum nonlocality, pioneered in Bell's seminal work and subsequently verified through a series of experiments, has drawn substantial attention due to its practical applications in various protocols. Evaluating and comparing the extent of nonlocality within distinct quantum correlations holds significant practical relevance. Within the resource theoretic framework this can be achieved by assessing the interconversion rate among different nonlocal correlations under free local operations and shared randomness.
