Entanglement, one of the most intriguing aspects of quantum mechanics, marks itself into different features of quantum states. For this reason different criteria can be used for verifying entanglement. In this paper we review some of the entanglement criteria casted for continuous variable states and link them to peculiar aspects of the original debate on the famous EPR paradox. Moreover, we give a handy expression for valuating Bell-type non-locality on Gaussian states. We also present the experimental measurement of a particular realization of the Bell operator over continuous variable entangled states produced by a sub-threshold type-II OPO.

We generate a pair of entangled beams from the interference of two amplitude squeezed beams. The entanglement is quantified in terms of EPR-paradox [Reid88] and inseparability [Duan00] criteria, with observed results of $Delta^{2} X_{x|y}^{+} Delta^{
2} X_{x|y}^{-} = 0.58 pm 0.02$ and $sqrt{Delta^{2} X_{x pm y}^{+} Delta^{2} X_{x pm y}^{-}} = 0.44 pm 0.01$, respectively. Both results clearly beat the standard quantum limit of unity. We experimentally analyze the effect of decoherence on each criterion and demonstrate qualitative differences. We also characterize the number of required and excess photons present in the entangled beams and provide contour plots of the efficacy of quantum information protocols in terms of these variables.
Many different quantum information communication protocols such as teleportation, dense coding and entanglement based quantum key distribution are based on the faithful transmission of entanglement between distant location in an optical network. The
distribution of entanglement in such a network is however hampered by loss and noise that is inherent in all practical quantum channels. Thus, to enable faithful transmission one must resort to the protocol of entanglement distillation. In this paper we present a detailed theoretical analysis and an experimental realization of continuous variable entanglement distillation in a channel that is inflicted by different kinds of non-Gaussian noise. The continuous variable entangled states are generated by exploiting the third order non-linearity in optical fibers, and the states are sent through a free-space laboratory channel in which the losses are altered to simulate a free-space atmospheric channel with varying losses. We use linear optical components, homodyne measurements and classical communication to distill the entanglement, and we find that by using this method the entanglement can be probabilistically increased for some specific non-Gaussian noise channels.
The diverse range of resources which underlie the utility of quantum states in practical tasks motivates the development of universally applicable methods to measure and compare resources of different types. However, many of such approaches were hith
erto limited to the finite-dimensional setting or were not connected with operational tasks. We overcome this by introducing a general method of quantifying resources for continuous-variable quantum systems based on the robustness measure, applicable to a plethora of physically relevant resources such as optical nonclassicality, entanglement, genuine non-Gaussianity, and coherence. We demonstrate in particular that the measure has a direct operational interpretation as the advantage enabled by a given state in a class of channel discrimination tasks. We show that the robustness constitutes a well-behaved, bona fide resource quantifier in any convex resource theory, contrary to a related negativity-based measure known as the standard robustness. Furthermore, we show the robustness to be directly observable -- it can be computed as the expectation value of a single witness operator -- and establish general methods for evaluating the measure. Explicitly applying our results to the relevant resources, we demonstrate the exact computability of the robustness for several classes of states.
It is a long-standing belief, as pointed out by Bell in 1986, that it is impossible to use a two-mode Gaussian state possessing a positive-definite Wigner function to demonstrate nonlocality as the Wigner function itself provides a local hidden-varia
ble model. In particular, when one performs continuous-variable (CV) quadrature measurements upon a routinely generated CV entanglement, namely, the two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) state, the resulting Wigner function is positive-definite and as such, the TMSV state cannot violate any Bell inequality using CV quadrature measurements. We show here, however, that a Bell inequality for CV states in terms of entropies can be quantum mechanically violated by the TMSV state with two coarse-grained quadrature measurements per site within experimentally accessible parameter regime. The proposed CV entropic Bell inequality is advantageous for an experimental test, especially for a possible loophole-free test of nonlocality, as the quadrature measurements can be implemented with homodyne detections of nearly 100% detection efficiency under current technology.
D{u}r [Phys. Rev. Lett. {bf 87}, 230402 (2001)] constructed $N$-qubit bound entangled states which violate a Bell inequality for $Nge 8$, and his result was recently improved by showing that there exists an $N$-qubit bound entangled state violating t
he Bell inequality if and only if $Nge 6$ [Phys. Rev. A {bf 79}, 032309 (2009)]. On the other hand, it has been also shown that the states which D{u}r considered violate Bell inequalities different from the inequality for $Nge 6$. In this paper, by employing different forms of Bell inequalities, in particular, a specific form of Bell inequalities with $M$ settings of the measuring apparatus for sufficiently large $M$, we prove that there exists an $N$-qubit bound entangled state violating the $M$-setting Bell inequality if and only if $Nge 4$.
