Extremal quantum correlations for N parties with two dichotomic observables per site

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

Consider a scenario where NN separated quantum systems are measured, each with one among two possible dichotomic observables. Assume that the NN events corresponding to the choice and performance of the measurement in each site are space-like separated. In the present paper, the correlations among the measurement outcomes that arise in this scenario are analyzed. It is shown that all extreme points of this convex set are attainable by measuring NN-qubit pure-states with projective observables. This result allows the possibility of using known algorithms in order decide whether some correlations are achievable within quantum mechanics or not. It is also proven that if an NN-partite state ρ\rho violates a given Bell inequality, then, ρ\rho can be transformed by stochastic local operations into an NN-qubit state that violates the same Bell inequality by an equal or larger amount.
