Abstract

Based on the quantum violation of suitable nn-local inequality in a star network for arbitrary mm inputs, we demonstrate the sharing of nonlocality in the network. Such a network features an arbitrary nn number of independent sources, nn edge parties, and a central party. Each party receives arbitrary mm inputs. We consider two different types of sharing of nonlocality in the network. i) The symmetric case - when the sharing of nonlocality is considered across all edge parties. ii) The asymmetric case - when the sharing of nonlocality is considered across only one edge party. For simplicity, we first consider the bilocal scenario (n=2)(n=2) with three inputs m=3m=3 and demonstrate that while in the symmetric case at most two sequential observers can share nonlocality, in the asymmetric case at most four sequential observers can share nonlocality. We extend the study to nn-local scenario by assuming each party receives three inputs and show that in the symmetric case the result remains the same for any nn, but in the asymmetrical case, an unbounded number of sequential observers can share nonlocality across one edge for a sufficiently large value of nn. We further extend our result for arbitrary mm input in nn-local scenario. We demonstrate that for m4m\geq 4, in the symmetric case at most one sequential observer can share nonlocality irrespective of the value of nn. For the asymmetric case, we analytically show that there exists n(k)n(k) for which an arbitrary kk number of sequential observers can share the nonlocality across one edge. The optimal quantum violation of mm-input nn-local inequality is derived through an elegant SOS approach without specifying the dimension of the quantum system.
