Most Bell Operators do not Significantly Violate Locality

Quantum Physics 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

The worst violation of Bell's inequality for nn qbits is of size 2n122^{\frac{n-1}{2}} and it is obtained by a specific operator acting on a specific state. We show, to the contrary, that for a vast majority of Bell operators the worst violation is bounded by O((nlogn)1/2)O((n\log n)^{{1/2}}), below experimental detection. With respect to the extremal operators, introduced by Werner and Wolf [Phys. Rev. A 64, 032112 (2001)], we show that a large majority of them have a norm bounded by O(n1/2)O(n^{{1/2}}).
