Minimal Scenarios Witnessing Genuine Multipartite Nonlocality Possibilistically
Abstract
We study a strong form of genuine multipartite nonlocality (GMNL), where an $n$-partite scenario admits a quantum strategy generating outcomes belonging to a restricted set with certainty, whereas every strategy built from nonclassical resources shared among at most $k<n$ parties fails this criterion with positive probability. This generalizes what is referred to as strong contextuality/nonlocality, or pseudotelepathy, beyond ruling out local models. For the simplest five-party Bell scenario of two binary-outcome measurement settings per party, we use the inflation technique to demonstrate that a game with a perfect quantum strategy witnesses a robust separation from models built from bipartite resources under local operations and shared randomness (LOSR), establishing the behavior is LOSR-GMNL. We provide broader context for this result by investigating its simulability with resources shared among three or four parties under different resource models and alternative definitions of GMNL. A central open question is whether $n$-party quantum resources can achieve such a separation from models built from $(n-1)$-party resources, for $n\ge 3$. We make progress here by constructing a family of robustly LOSR-GMNL games with $ε$-optimal quantum strategies experimentally indistinguishable in the limit from true probability-one-winning strategies for any desired level of precision.
