We investigate the trade-off between information gain and disturbance for a class of weak von Neumann measurements on spin-$frac{1}{2}$ particles, and derive the unusual measurement pointer state that saturates this trade-off. We then consider the fundamental question of sharing the non-locality of a single particle of an entangled pair among multiple observers, and demonstrate that by exploiting the information gain disturbance trade-off, one can obtain an arbitrarily long sequence of consecutive and independent violations of the CHSH-Bell inequality.

Alice and Bob each have half of a pair of entangled qubits. Bob measures his half and then passes his qubit to a second Bob who measures again and so on. The goal is to maximize the number of Bobs that can have an expected violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality with the single Alice. This scenario was introduced in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 250401 (2015)] where the authors mentioned evidence that when the Bobs act independently and with unbiased inputs then at most two of them can expect to violate the CHSH inequality with Alice. Here we show that, contrary to this evidence, arbitrarily many independent Bobs can have an expected CHSH violation with the single Alice. Our proof is constructive and our measurement strategies can be generalized to work with a larger class of two-qubit states that includes all pure entangled two-qubit states. Since violation of a Bell inequality is necessary for device-independent tasks, our work represents a step towards an eventual understanding of the limitations on how much device-independent randomness can be robustly generated from a single pair of qubits.
We consider a scenario of remote state preparation of qubits where a single copy of an entangled state is shared between Alice and several Bobs who sequentially perform unsharp single-particle measurements. We show that a substantial number of Bobs can optimally and reliably prepare the qubit in Alices lab exceeding the classical realm. There can be at most 16 Bobs in a sequence when the state is chosen from the equatorial circle of the Bloch sphere. In general, depending upon the choice of a circle from the Bloch sphere, the optimum number of Bobs ranges from 12 for the worst choice, to become remarkably very large corresponding to circles in the polar regions, in case of an initially shared maximally entangled state. We further show that the bound on the number of observers successful in implementing remote state preparation is higher for maximally entangled initial states than that for non-maximally entangled initial states.
We study sequential state discrimination measurements performed on the same qubit by subsequent observers. Specifically, we focus on the case when the observers perform a kind of a minimum-error type state discriminating measurement where the goal of the observers is to maximize their joint probability of successfully guessing the state that the qubit was initially prepared in. We call this the joint best guess strategy. In this scheme, Alice prepares a qubit in one of two possible states. The qubit is first sent to Bob, who measures it, and then on to Charlie, and so on to altogether N consecutive receivers who all perform measurements on it. The goal for all observers is to determine which state Alice sent. In the joint best guess strategy, every time a system is received the observer is required to make a guess, aided by the measurement, about its state. The price to pay for this requirement is that errors must be permitted, the guess can be correct or in error. There is a nonzero probability for all the receivers to successfully identify the initially prepared state, and we maximize this joint probability of success. This work is a step toward developing a theory of nondestructive sequential quantum measurements and could be useful in multiparty quantum communication schemes based on communicating with single qubits, particularly in schemes employing continuous variable states. It also represents a case where subsequent observers can probabilistically and optimally get around both the collapse postulate and the no-broadcasting theorem.
In this article, we propose measurement-induced nonlocality (MIN) quantified by Hellinger distance using von Neumann projective measurement. The proposed MIN is a bonafide measure of nonlocal correlation and is resistant to local ancilla problem. We obtain an analytical expression of the Hellinger distance MIN for general pure and $2 otimes n$ mixed states. In addition to comparing with similar measures, we explore the role of weak measurement in capturing nonlocal correlation.
Nonlocality plays a fundamental role in quantum information science. Recently, it has been theoretically predicted and experimentally demonstrated that the nonlocality of an entangled pair may be shared among multiple observers using weak measurements with moderate strength. Here we devise an optimal protocol of nonlocality sharing among three observers and show experimentally that nonlocality sharing may be also achieved using weak measurements with near-maximum strength. Our result sheds light on the interplay between nonlocality and quantum measurements and, may find applications in quantum steering, unbounded randomness certification and quantum communication network.
