Mermin’s n-particle Bell inequality and operators ’ noncommutativity
نویسنده
چکیده
The relationship between the noncommutativity of operators and the violation of the Bell inequality is exhibited in the light of the n-particle Bell-type inequality discovered by Mermin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65 (1990) 1838]. It is shown, in particular, that the maximal amount of violation of Mermin’s inequality predicted by quantum mechanics decreases exponentially by a factor of 2 whenever any m among the n single-particle commutators happen to vanish.

The worst violation of Bell’s inequality for n qbits is of size 2 n−1 2 and it is obtained by a specific operator acting on a specific state. We show, to the contrary, that for a vast majority of Bell operators the worst violation is bounded by O((n log n) 1 2 ), below experimental detection. With respect to the extremal operators, introduced by Werner and Wolf [Phys. Rev. A 64, 032112 (2001)],...

The notions of 3-particle entanglement and 3-particle non-locality are discussed in the light of Svetlichny’s inequality [Phys. Rev. D 35, 3066 (1987)]. It is shown that there exist sets of measurements which can be used to prove 3-particle entanglement, but which are nevertheless useless at proving 3-particle non-locality. In particular, it is shown that the quantum predictions giving a maxima...
متن کاملOn the experimental violation of Mermin's inequality with imperfect measurements
We investigate theoretically the feasibility of an experimental test of the Bell-type inequality derived by Mermin for correlated spins larger than 1/2. Using the Schwinger representation, we link the output fields of two two-mode squeezers in order to create correlated effective spins between two observers. Spin measurements will be performed by photon-number-resolved photodetection, which has...
متن کاملJoint measurements and Bell inequalities
Joint quantum measurements of non-commuting observables are possible, if one accepts an increase in the measured variances. A necessary condition for a joint measurement to be possible is that a joint probability distribution exists for the measurement. This fact suggests that there may be a link with Bell inequalities, as these will be satisfied if and only if a joint probability distribution ...
