Violations of entropic Bell inequalities with coarse-grained quadrature measurements for continuous-variable states

Abstract
It is a long-standing belief, as pointed out by Bell in 1986, that it is impossible to use a two-mode Gaussian state possessing a positive-definite Wigner function to demonstrate nonlocality as the Wigner function itself provides a local hidden-variable model. In particular, when one performs continuous-variable (CV) quadrature measurements upon a routinely generated CV entanglement, namely, the two-mode squeezed vacuum (TMSV) state, the resulting Wigner function is positive-definite and as such, the TMSV state cannot violate any Bell inequality using CV quadrature measurements. We show here, however, that a Bell inequality for CV states in terms of entropies can be quantum mechanically violated by the TMSV state with two coarse-grained quadrature measurements per site within experimentally accessible parameter regime. The proposed CV entropic Bell inequality is advantageous for an experimental test, especially for a possible loophole-free test of nonlocality, as the quadrature measurements can be implemented with homodyne detections of nearly 100\% detection efficiency under current technology.
