We present a hierarchy of conditions for quantum probability distributions. This framework provides upper bounds for quantum violations of Bell inequalities, including specific tight bounds for Collins et al. inequalities.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Information Theory
  • Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
  • Quantum Probability

Background:

  • Understanding the constraints on probability distributions in quantum mechanics is crucial.
  • Bell inequalities test the foundations of quantum mechanics against local hidden variable theories.
  • Previous methods for bounding quantum violations of Bell inequalities have limitations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel hierarchy of necessary conditions for quantum probability distributions.
  • To develop a method for obtaining upper bounds on the quantum violation of arbitrary Bell inequalities.
  • To provide tight bounds for specific Bell inequalities, such as those by Collins et al.

Main Methods:

  • Formulating each condition in the hierarchy as a semidefinite program.

  • Main Results:

    • A hierarchy of semidefinite programming conditions is established for quantum probability distributions.
    • The approach successfully yields upper bounds for the quantum violation of general Bell inequalities.
    • Tight bounds are demonstrated for the violations of the Collins et al. inequalities.

    Conclusions:

    • The introduced hierarchy of conditions offers a powerful tool for analyzing quantum correlations.
    • Semidefinite programming provides an effective computational framework for bounding Bell inequality violations.
    • This work advances the understanding of quantum correlations and their potential for violating classical intuition.
