We present a simple family of Bell inequalities applicable to a scenario involving arbitrarily many parties, each of which performs two binary-outcome measurements. We show that these inequalities are members of the complete set of full-correlation Bell inequalities discovered by Werner-Wolf-Zukowski-Brukner. For scenarios involving a small number of parties, we further verify that these inequalities are facet-defining for the convex set of Bell-local correlations. Moreover, we show that the amount of quantum violation of these inequalities naturally manifests the extent to which the underlying system is genuinely many-body entangled. In other words, our Bell inequalities, when supplemented with the appropriate quantum bounds, naturally serve as device-independent witnesses for entanglement depth, allowing one to certify genuine k-partite entanglement in an arbitrary $nge k$-partite scenario without relying on any assumption about the measurements being performed, nor the dimension of the underlying physical system. A brief comparison is made between our witnesses and those based on some other Bell inequalities, as well as the quantum Fisher information. A family of witnesses for genuine k-partite nonlocality applicable to an arbitrary $nge k$-partite scenario based on our Bell inequalities is also presented.

Techniques developed for device-independent characterizations allow one to certify certain physical properties of quantum systems without assuming any knowledge of their internal workings. Such a certification, however, often relies on the employment of device-independent witnesses catered for the particular property of interest. In this work, we consider a one-parameter family of multipartite, two-setting, two-outcome Bell inequalities and demonstrate the extent to which they are suited for the device-independent certification of genuine many-body entanglement (and hence the entanglement depth) present in certain well-known multipartite quantum states, including the generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states with unbalanced weights, the higher-dimensional generalizations of balanced GHZ states, and the $W$ states. As a by-product of our investigations, we have found that, in contrast with well-established results, provided trivial qubit measurements are allowed, full-correlation Bell inequalities can also be used to demonstrate the nonlocality of weakly entangled unbalanced-weight GHZ states. Besides, we also demonstrate how two-setting, two-outcome Bell inequalities can be constructed, based on the so-called GHZ paradox, to witness the entanglement depth of various graph states, including the ring graph states, the fully connected graph states, and some linear graph states, etc.
We consider the characterization of entanglement depth in a quantum many-body system from the device-independent perspective; i.e., certifying how many particles are genuinely entangled without relying on assumptions on the system itself nor on the measurements performed. We obtain device-independent witnesses of entanglement depth (DIWEDs) using the Bell inequalities introduced in [J. Tura et al., Science 344, 1256 (2014)] and compute their $k$-producibility bounds. To this end, we present two complementary methods: First, a variational one, yielding a possibly optimal $k$-producible state. Second, a certificate of optimality via a semi-definite program, based on a relaxation of the quantum marginal problem. Numerical results suggest a clear pattern on $k$-producible bounds for large system sizes, which we then tackle analytically in the thermodynamic limit. Contrary to existing DIWEDs, the ones we present here can be effectively measured by accessing only collective measurements and second moments thereof. These technical requirements are met in current experiments, which have already been performed in the context of detecting Bell correlations in quantum many-body systems of $5cdot 10^2 sim 5 cdot 10^5$ atoms.
In a recent work [A. Aloy et al. arXiv:1807:06027 (2018)] we have considered the characterization of entanglement depth, from a device-independent perspective, in a quantum many-body system. We have shown that the inequalities introduced in [J. Tura et al. Science 344 1256 (2014)] can be used to obtain device-independent witnesses of entanglement depth and that they enjoy two key properties that allow to compute their $k$-producibility bounds more efficiently for larger system sizes, as well as yielding experimentally-friendlier device-independent witnesses of entanglement depth: they involve at most two-body correlators and they are permutationally invariant. While the main aim of our previous work was to illustrate the main ideas and applicability of the method, here we outline the details and complement its findings with detailed analysis and further case studies. Specifically, we consider the problem of finding the $k$-producible bounds of such DIWEDs under different assumptions. Not surprisingly, with the weakest assumptions, we can compute $k$-producible bounds only for relatively small number of parties; however we can still learn interesting features from these solutions that motivate the search on larger systems under the assumption that these features persist. This allows us to tackle the case where the system size eventually reaches the thermodynamic limit.
We consider the problem of determining whether genuine multipartite entanglement was produced in an experiment, without relying on a characterization of the systems observed or of the measurements performed. We present an n-partite inequality that is satisfied by all correlations produced by measurements on biseparable quantum states, but which can be violated by n-partite entangled states, such as GHZ states. In contrast to traditional entanglement witnesses, the violation of this inequality implies that the state is not biseparable independently of the Hilbert space dimension and of the measured operators. Violation of this inequality does not imply, however, genuine multipartite non-locality. We show more generically how the problem of identifying genuine tripartite entanglement in a device-independent way can be addressed through semidefinite programming.
The problem of demonstrating entanglement is central to quantum information processing applications. Resorting to standard entanglement witnesses requires one to perfectly trust the implementation of the measurements to be performed on the entangled state, which may be an unjustified assumption. Inspired by the recent work of F. Buscemi [Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 200401 (2012)], we introduce the concept of Measurement-Device-Independent Entanglement Witnesses (MDI-EWs), which allow one to demonstrate entanglement of all entangled quantum states with untrusted measurement apparatuses. We show how to systematically obtain such MDI-EWs from standard entanglement witnesses. Our construction leads to MDI-EWs that are loss-tolerant, and can be implemented with current technology.
