How Many Quantum Correlations Are Not Local?

We study how generic is the property of nonlocality among the set of quantum correlations for bipartite dichotomic measurements. To do so, we consider the characterization of these quantum correlations as those of the form γ = (〈ui, vj〉)i,j=1, where the vectors ui and vj are in the unit sphere of a real Hilbert space. The important parameters in this description are the number of vectors n and ...
