Robustness measures for quantifying nonlocality

Abstract

We suggest generalized robustness for quantifying nonlocality and derive its equivalence to the maximum violation ratio of Bell inequalities defined as vectors with non-negative elements. We investigate its properties by comparing it with white-noise and standard robustness measures. As a result, we show that white-noise robustness does not fulfill monotonicity under local operations and shared randomness, whereas the other measures do. To compare the standard and generalized robustness measures, we introduce the concept of inequivalence, which indicates a reversal in the order relationship depending on the choice of monotones. From an operational perspective, the inequivalence of monotones for resourceful objects implies the absence of free operations that connect them. Applying this concept, we find that standard and generalized robustness measures are inequivalent between even- and odd-dimensional cases up to eight dimensions. This is obtained using randomly performed CGLMP measurement settings in a maximally entangled state. This study contributes to the resource theory of nonlocality and sheds light on comparing monotones by using the concept of inequivalence valid for all resource theories.
