We exhibit an orthogonal set of product states of two three-state particles that nevertheless cannot be reliably distinguished by a pair of separated observers ignorant of which of the states has been presented to them, even if the…
Entanglement and its consequences - in particular the violation of Bell inequalities, which defies our concepts of realism and locality - have been proven to play key roles in Nature by many experiments for various quantum systems.…
We derive N-particle Bell-type inequalities under the assumption of partial separability, i.e. that the N-particle system is composed of subsystems which may be correlated in any way (e.g. entangled) but which are uncorrelated with respect…
Most of known multipartite Bell inequalities involve correlation functions for all subsystems. They are useless for entangled states without such correlations. We give a method of derivation of families of Bell inequalities for N parties,…
Quantum nonlocality is tested for an entangled coherent state, interacting with a dissipative environment. A pure entangled coherent state violates Bell's inequality regardless of its coherent amplitude. The higher the initial nonlocality,…
We propose a scheme for generating multipartite entangled coherent states via entanglement swapping, with an example of a physical realization in ion traps. Bipartite entanglement of these multipartite states is quantified by the…
Super-selection rules severely restrict the possible operations one can perform on an entangled state. Their effect on the observation of non-locality through the Bell inequalities is only partially understood in the bipartite case. In this…
We compare entanglement with quantum nonlocality employing a geometric structure of the state space of bipartite qudits. Central object is a regular simplex spanned by generalized Bell states. The Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu-Bell…
We consider a bipartite scenario where two parties hold ensembles of $1/2$-spins which can only be measured collectively. We give numerical arguments supporting the conjecture that in this scenario no Bell inequality can be violated for…
We study the relation between violation of Bell inequalities and distillability properties of quantum states. Recently, D\"ur has shown that there are some multiparticle bound entangled states, non-separable and non-distillable, that…
We review the problem of discriminating entangled states from separable states for bipartite systems. We formally define what entangled states are, present some important criteria to detect entanglement, and show how they can be classified…
We provide an explicit example of a Bell inequality with 3 settings and 2 outcomes per site for which the largest violation is not obtained by the maximally entangled state, even if its dimension is allowed to be arbitrarily large. This…
With Bell's inequalities one has a formal expression to show how essentially all local theories of natural phenomena that are formulated within the framework of realism may be tested using a simple experimental arrangement. For the case of…
Entanglement detection typically relies on linear inequalities for mean values of certain observables (entanglement witnesses), where violation indicates entanglement. We provide a general method to improve any of these inequalities for…
Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality (in terms of correlation functions) of two qutrits is studied in detail by employing tritter measurements. A uniform formula for the maximum value of this inequality for tritter measurements is…
The nature of quantum correlations in strongly correlated systems has been a subject of intense research. In particular, it has been realized that entanglement and quantum discord are present at quantum phase transitions and able to…
In recent years considerable progress has been made towards developing a general theory of quantum entanglement. In particular, criteria to decide whether a given quantum state is entangled are of high theoretical and practical interest.…
We show how a straightforward Bayesian updating procedure allows one to detect and quantify entanglement from any finite set of measurement results. The measurements do not have to be tomographically complete, and may consist of POVMs…
Linear steering inequalities are useful to check whether a bipartite state is steerable when both the parties are allowed to perform $n$ dichotomic measurements on their parts. In the present study we propose the necessary and sufficient…
Consider a scenario where $N$ separated quantum systems are measured, each with one among two possible dichotomic observables. Assume that the $N$ events corresponding to the choice and performance of the measurement in each site are…
