From Bell Inequalities to Tsirelson’s Theorem: A Survey

چکیده
The first part of this paper contains an introduction to Bell inequalities and Tsirelson’s theorem for the non-specialist. The next part gives an explicit optimum construction for the “hard” part of Tsirelson’s theorem. In the final part we describe how upper bounds on the maximal quantum violation of Bell inequalities can be obtained by an extension of Tsirelson’s theorem, and survey very recent results on how exact bounds may be obtained by solving an infinite series of semidefinite programs.

Tsirelson bounds for generalized Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequalities
Quantum theory imposes a strict limit on the strength of non-local correlations. It only allows for a violation of the CHSH inequality up to the value 2 √ 2, known as Tsirelson’s bound. In this paper, we consider generalized CHSH inequalities based on many measurement settings with two possible measurement outcomes each. We demonstrate how to prove Tsirelson bounds for any such generalized CHSH...
متن کاملTracing the bounds on Bell-type inequalities
Karl Svozil† Institut für Theoretische Physik, University of Technology Vienna, Wiedner Hauptstraße 8-10/136, A-1040 Vienna, Austria Abstract Bell-type inequalities and violations thereof reveal the fundamental differences between standard probability theory and its quantum counterpart. In the course of previous investigations ultimate bounds on quantum mechanical violations have been found. Fo...
متن کاملQuantum Correlations: From Bell inequalities to Tsirelson’s theorem
The cut polytope and its relatives are good models of the correlations that can be obtained between events that can be well described by classical physics. Bell’s Theorem and subsequent experiments demonstrate that correlations obtainable between events at the quantum level cannot be modelled in this way. This raises the question of whether a “good” mathematical characterization of quantum corr...
متن کاملThe Bell Theorem as a Special Case of a Theorem of Bass
The theorem of Bell states that certain results of quantum mechanics violate inequalities that are valid for objective local random variables. We show that the inequalities of Bell are special cases of theorems found ten years earlier by Bass and stated in full generality by Vorob’ev. This fact implies precise necessary and sufficient mathematical conditions for the validity of the Bell inequal...

Studying generalized non-signalling theories brings insight to the foundations of quantum mechanics. Here we focus on a dynamical process in such general theories, namely non-locality swapping, the analogue of quantum entanglement swapping. In order to implement such a protocol, one needs to define a coupler, which performs the equivalent of quantum joint measurements on generalized ‘box-like’ ...
