Analytic Maximal Violation of Extended MABK Inequalities for Generalized GHZ States

We analytically characterize the maximal quantum violation of the extended Mermin-Ardehali-Belinskii-Klyshko (EMABK) family of inequalities by $n$-qubit generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. We develop a correlation-tensor approach in which the Bell value is expressed as the Frobenius inner product of the quantum correlation tensor and an effective coefficient tensor. A rank constraint on the latter, together with the von Neumann trace inequality, yields an upper bound governed by the two largest singular values of the reshaped correlation-tensor. For generalized GHZ states, we determine the complete singular spectrum and obtain a piecewise analytic upper bound. We then construct two complementary measurement strategies that saturate the bound for EMABK throughout the entire parameter range. The first is a purely MABK strategy in which all measurement directions lie in the equatorial plane of the Bloch sphere. The second is a hybrid strategy that recursively combines lower-order MABK anti-diagonal operators with the fully-$\sigma_z$ tensor product. The resulting piecewise analytic expression recovers the standard MABK Tsirelson bound $2^{(n-1)/2}$ in the maximally entangled limit and approaches the classical local-hidden-variable bound in the product-state limits. It further shows that every entangled generalized GHZ state exhibits a strict quantum-classical separation under the EMABK inequality, thereby eliminating the nonviolation region of the standard MABK inequality in the partially entangled regime.

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering paradox "2=1'' for $N$ qubits

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox highlights the absence of a local realistic explanation for quantum mechanics, and shows the incompatibility of the local-hidden-state models with quantum theory. For $N$-qubit states, or more importantly, the $N$-qubit mixed states, we present the EPR steering paradox in the form of the contradictory equality "2=1". We show that the contradiction holds for any $N$-qubit state as long as both the pure state requirement and the measurement requirement are satisfied. This also indicates that the EPR steering paradox exists in more general cases. Finally, we give specific examples to demonstrate and analyze our arguments.

The Iteration Formula of (n,2,d) Full-correlated Multi-component Bell Function and Its Applications

It is very difficult and important to construct Bell inequalities for n-partite, k-settings of measurement, and d-dimensional (n,k,d) systems. Inspired by the iteration formula form of the Mermin-Ardehali-Belinski{\uı}-Klyshko (MABK) inequality, we generalize the multi-component correlation functions for bipartite d-dimensional systems to n-partite ones, and construct the corresponding Bell inequality. The Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu inequality can be reproduced by this way. The most important result is that for prime d the general Bell function in full-correlated multi-component correlation function form for (n,2,d) systems can be reformulated in iteration formula by two full-correlated multi-component Bell functions for (n-1,2,d) systems. As applications, we recover the MABK inequality and the most robust coincidence Bell inequalities for (3,2,3),(4,2,3),(5,2,3), and (3,2,5) Bell scenarios with this iteration formula. This implies that the iteration formula is an efficient way of constructing multi-partite Bell inequalities. In addition, we also give some new Bell inequalities with the same robustness but inequivalent to the known ones.

Generalized Iterative Formula for Bell Inequalities

Bell inequalities are a vital tool to detect the nonlocal correlations, but the construction of them for multipartite systems is still a complicated problem. In this work, inspired via a decomposition of $(n+1)$-partite Bell inequalities into $n$-partite ones, we present a generalized iterative formula to construct nontrivial $(n+1)$-partite ones from the $n$-partite ones. Our iterative formulas recover the well-known Mermin-Ardehali-Belinski{\uı}-Klyshko (MABK) and other families in the literature as special cases. Moreover, a family of ``dual-use'' Bell inequalities is proposed, in the sense that for the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states these inequalities lead to the same quantum violation as the MABK family and, at the same time, the inequalities are able to detect the non-locality in the entire entangled region. Furthermore, we present generalizations of the the I3322 inequality to any $n$-partite case which are still tight, and of the $46$ Śliwa's inequalities to the four-partite tight ones, by applying our iteration method to each inequality and its equivalence class.

Experimental test of high-dimensional quantum contextuality based on contextuality concentration

Contextuality is a distinctive feature of quantum theory and a fundamental resource for quantum computation. However, existing examples of contextuality in high-dimensional systems lack the necessary robustness required in experiments. Here we address this problem by identifying a family of noncontextuality inequalities whose maximum quantum violation grows with the dimension of the system. At first glance, this contextuality is the single-system version of multipartite Bell nonlocality taken to an extreme form. What is interesting is that the single-system version achieves the same degree of contextuality but uses a Hilbert space of lower dimension. That is, contextuality ``concentrates'' as the degree of contextuality per dimension increases. We show the practicality of this result by presenting an experimental test of contextuality in a seven-dimensional system. By simulating sequences of quantum ideal measurements with destructive measurements and repreparation in an all-optical setup, we report a violation of 68.7 standard deviations of the simplest case of the noncontextuality inequalities identified. Our results advance the investigation of high-dimensional contextuality, its connection to the Clifford algebra, and its role in quantum computation.

Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger States: Their Identifications and Robust Violations

The $N$-qubit Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states are the maximally entangled states of $N$ qubits, which have had many important applications in quantum information processing, such as quantum key distribution and quantum secret sharing. Thus how to distinguish the GHZ states from other quantum states becomes a significant problem. In this work, by presenting a family of the generalized Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality, we show that the $N$-qubit GHZ states can be indeed identified by the maximal violations of the generalized CHSH inequality under some specific measurement settings. The generalized CHSH inequality is simple and contains only four correlation functions for any $N$-qubit system, thus has the merit of facilitating experimental verification. Furthermore, we present a quantum phenomenon of robust violations of the generalized CHSH inequality, in which the maximal violation of Bell's inequality can be robust under some specific noises adding to the $N$-qubit GHZ states.

General Hardy-Type Paradox Based on Bell inequality and its Experimental Test

Local realistic models cannot completely describe all predictions of quantum mechanics. This is known as Bell's theorem that can be revealed either by violations of Bell inequality, or all-versus-nothing proof of nonlocality. Hardy's paradox is an important all-versus-nothing proof and is considered as "the simplest form of Bell's theorem". In this work, we theoretically build the general framework of Hardy-type paradox based on Bell inequality. Previous Hardy's paradoxes have been found to be special cases within the framework. Stronger Hardy-type paradox has been found even for the two-qubit two-setting case, and the corresponding successful probability is about four times larger than the original one, thus providing a more friendly test for experiment. We also find that GHZ paradox can be viewed as a perfect Hardy-type paradox. Meanwhile, we experimentally test the stronger Hardy-type paradoxes in a two-qubit system. Within the experimental errors, the experimental results coincide with the theoretical predictions.

Deriving Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering inequalities from the few-body Abner Shimony inequalities

For the Abner Shimony (AS) inequalities, the simplest unified forms of directions attaining the maximum quantum violation are investigated. Based on these directions, a family of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering inequalities is derived from the AS inequalities in a systematic manner. For these inequalities, the local hidden state (LHS) bounds are strictly less than the local hidden variable (LHV) bounds. This means that the EPR steering is a form of quantum nonlocality strictly weaker than Bell-nonlocality.

Chained Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering inequalities with improved visibility

It is known that the linear n-setting steering inequalities introduced in Ref. [Nature Phys. 6, 845 (2010)] are very efficient inequalities in detecting steerability of the Werner states by using optimal measurement axes. Here, we construct chained steering inequalities that have improved visibility for the Werner states under a finite number of settings. Specifically, the threshold values of quantum violation of our inequalities for the n=4,6,10 settings are lower than those of the linear steering inequalities. Furthermore, for almost all generalized Werner states, the chained steering inequalities always have improved visibility in comparison with the linear steering inequalities.
