Almost device-independent certification of GME states with minimal measurements

Abstract

Device-independent certification of quantum states enables the characterization of states within a device under minimal physical assumptions. A major problem in this regard is to certify quantum states using minimal resources. Aiming to address this problem, we consider a multipartite quantum steering scenario involving an arbitrary number of parties, of which only one is trusted, meaning that the measurements performed by this party are known. Consequently, the self-testing scheme is almost device-independent. Importantly, all the parties can only perform two measurements each, which is the minimal number of measurements required to observe any form of quantum nonlocality. Then, we propose steering inequalities that are maximally violated by three major classes of genuinely multipartite entangled (GME) states: graph states of arbitrary local dimension, Schmidt states of arbitrary local dimension, and $N$-qubit generalized W states. Using the proposed inequalities, we then provide an almost device-independent certification of the above GME states. Restricting to qubits, we also lift our almost device-independent scheme to device-independent self-testing.
