Multipartite positive-partial-transpose inequalities exponentially stronger than local reality inequalities

Quantum Physics 2009-11-13 v1

Abstract

We show that positivity of {\it every} partial transpose of NN-partite quantum states implies new inequalities on Bell correlations which are stronger than standard Bell inequalities by a factor of 2(N1)/22^{(N-1)/2}. A violation of the inequality implies the system is in a bipartite distillable entangled state. It turns out that a family of NN-qubit bound entangled states proposed by D\"ur {[Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 87}, 230402 (2001)]} violates the inequality for N4N\geq 4.
