New Facet Bell inequalities for multi-qubit states


Abstract in English

Non-trivial facet inequalities play important role in detecting and quantifying the nonolocality of a state -- specially a pure state. Such inequalities are expected to be tight. Number of such inequalities depends on the Bell test scenario. With the increase in the number of parties, dimensionality of the Hilbert space, or/and the number of measurements, there are more nontrivial facet inequalities. By considering a specific measurement scenario, we find that for any multipartite qubit state, local polytope can have only one nontrivial facet. Therefore there exist a possibility that only one Bell inequality, and its permutations, would be able to detect the nonlocality of a pure state. The scenario involves two dichotomic measurement settings for two parties and one dichotomic measurement by other parties. This measurement scenario for a multipartite state may be considered as minimal scenario involving multipartite correlations that can detect nonlocality. We present detailed results for three-qubit states.
