Quantum states are evaluated for Bell tests by minimizing the probability of a local model. Optimal states for proving nonlocality do not necessarily need to be maximally entangled, according to numerical results.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Information Science
  • Foundations of Quantum Mechanics

Background:

  • Bell tests investigate the fundamental differences between quantum mechanics and classical physics.
  • These tests involve measurements on quantum states in spacelike separated regions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the optimal quantum states and measurements for proving quantum nonlocality.
  • To determine if maximally entangled states are required for the strongest nonlocality proofs.

Main Methods:

  • The study defines an optimal nonlocality proof by maximizing over possible quantum states and measurement strategies.
  • Numerical simulations were used to explore the properties of optimal states.

Main Results:

  • A quantum state is considered better for a Bell test if it yields a lower probability of a local model for observed outcomes.

  • Numerical results indicate that the optimal states for Bell tests are not necessarily maximally entangled.

    • Conclusions:

    • The search for optimal nonlocality proofs can be extended beyond maximally entangled states.
    • This finding offers new directions for designing experiments to demonstrate quantum nonlocality.
