Nontrilocality: Exploiting nonlocality from three particle systems

Abstract

In Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{104},170401 (2010), Branciard \textit{e.t al.} first characterized the correlations arising in an entanglement swapping network under the assumption that the sources generating the initially uncorrelated quantum systems are independent. Precisely speaking, in Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{104},170401 (2010) and later in Phys. Rev. A \textbf{85},032119 (2012) the authors analyzed the importance of \textit{bilocal}(source independence) assumption to lower down the restrictions over correlations for revealing quantumness in the network where each of two sources generates a bipartite entangled state. In this context one may find interest to characterize correlations in a network involving independent sources which can correlate more than two initially uncorrelated multipartite entangled quantum systems. Our present topic of discussion basically analyzes such a network scenario. Specifically we introduce \textit{trilocal network scenario} where each of three sources independently generates a tripartite entangled quantum system thereby exploring the role of source independence assumption to exploit nonlocality in a network involving multipartite entanglement analogous to bilocal assumption in a network where only bipartite entanglement was considered. Interestingly, genuine entanglement content did not turn out to be an essential requirement for exploiting nonlocality in such a scenario. Moreover it is interesting to explore whether such a scenario can be generalized so as to characterize correlations arising in a network involving $n$ number of $n$ partite systems for any finite value of $n\ge 4$ under source independence assumption.
