Geometric extension of Clauser-Horne inequality to more qubits

Quantum Physics 2018-09-13 v1

Abstract

We propose a geometric multiparty extension of Clauser-Horne (CH) inequality. The standard CH inequality can be shown to be an implication of the fact that statistical separation between two events, AA and BB, defined as P(AB)P(A\oplus B), where AB=(AB)(BA)A\oplus B=(A-B)\cup(B-A), satisfies the axioms of a distance. Our extension for tripartite case is based on triangle inequalities for the statistical separations of three probabilistic events P(ABC)P(A\oplus B \oplus C). We show that Mermin inequality can be retrieved from our extended CH inequality for three subsystems. With our tripartite CH inequality, we investigate quantum violations by GHZ-type and W-type states. Our inequalities are compared to another type, so-called NN-site CH inequality. In addition we argue how to generalize our method for more subsystems and measurement settings. Our method can be used to write down several Bell-type inequalities in a systematic manner.
