Minimal Scenarios Witnessing Genuine Multipartite Nonlocality Possibilistically

Soumyadip Patra, Peter Bierhorst

We study a strong form of genuine multipartite nonlocality (GMNL), where an -partite scenario admits a quantum strategy generating outcomes belonging to a restricted set with ce…

Quantum Advantage over Wirings of Nonsignaling Boxes in Multipartite Networks

Peter Bierhorst, Arkaprabha Ghosal, Soumyadip Patra

Quantum-entangled measurements are known to enable multi-party behaviors that are impossible with unentangled measurements on nonlocal resources, even those that are super-quantum…

Intractability of Witnessing Entangled Measurements Device Independently

Peter Bierhorst

Protocols have been previously proposed to certify the presence of an entangled measurement in a fully device-independent manner. Here, I provide models for these protocols in whic…

Quantitative and Optimal Device-Independent Lower Bounds on Detection Efficiency

Arkaprabha Ghosal, Soumyadip Patra, Peter Bierhorst

This paper examines a quantitative and optimal lower bound on the detector efficiency in a (2,2,2) Bell experiment within a fully device-independent framework, whereby the detector…

No-signalling-projection-invariant Bell inequalities

Soumyadip Patra, Jitendra Prakash, Aaditya Paudel +1

In this paper, we highlight how any Bell inequality for a configuration involving parties each performing one of binary-outcome measurements has a canonical form that is no…

Strength of statistical evidence for genuine tripartite nonlocality

Soumyadip Patra, Peter Bierhorst

Recent advancements in network nonlocality have led to the concept of local operations and shared randomness-based genuine multipartite nonlocality (LOSR-GMNL). In this paper, we c…

Consistency and Causality of Interconnected Nonsignaling Resources

Peter Bierhorst

This paper examines networks of measuring parties sharing nonsignaling resources that can be locally wired together: that is, each party follows a scheme to measure the res…

Asymptotically Optimal Adversarial Strategies for the Probability Estimation Framework

Soumyadip Patra, Peter Bierhorst

The Probability Estimation Framework involves direct estimation of the probability of occurrences of outcomes conditioned on measurement settings and side information. It is a powe…

A Hierarchy of Multipartite Nonlocality and Device-Independent Effect Witnesses

Peter Bierhorst, Jitendra Prakash

According to recent new definitions, a multi-party behavior is genuinely multipartite nonlocal (GMNL) if it cannot be modeled by measurements on an underlying network of bipartite-…

Multipartite Intrinsic Non-Locality and Device-Independent Conference Key Agreement

Aby Philip, Eneet Kaur, Peter Bierhorst +1

In this work, we introduce multipartite intrinsic non-locality as a method for quantifying resources in the multipartite scenario of device-independent (DI) conference key agreemen…

Ruling out Bipartite Nonsignaling Nonlocal Models for Tripartite Correlations

Peter Bierhorst

Many three-party correlations, including some that are commonly described as genuinely tripartite nonlocal, can be simulated by a network of underlying subsystems that display only…

Scalable multiphoton quantum metrology with neither pre- nor post-selected measurements

Chenglong You, Mingyuan Hong, Peter Bierhorst +8

The quantum statistical fluctuations of the electromagnetic field establish a limit, known as the shot-noise limit, on the sensitivity of optical measurements performed with classi…

Tsirelson Polytopes and Randomness Generation

Peter Bierhorst, Yanbao Zhang

We classify the extreme points of a polytope of probability distributions in the (2,2,2) CHSH-Bell setting that is induced by a single Tsirelson bound. We do the same for a class o…

Certifying Quantum Randomness by Probability Estimation

Yanbao Zhang, Emanuel Knill, Peter Bierhorst

We introduce probability estimation, a broadly applicable framework to certify randomness in a finite sequence of measurement results without assuming that these results are indepe…

Challenging local realism with human choices

The BIG Bell Test Collaboration, C. Abellán, A. Acín +105

A Bell test is a randomized trial that compares experimental observations against the philosophical worldview of local realism. A Bell test requires spatially distributed entanglem…

Experimentally Generated Randomness Certified by the Impossibility of Superluminal Signals

Peter Bierhorst, Emanuel Knill, Scott Glancy +9

From dice to modern complex circuits, there have been many attempts to build increasingly better devices to generate random numbers. Today, randomness is fundamental to security an…

Quantum Randomness Generation by Probability Estimation with Classical Side Information

Emanuel Knill, Yanbao Zhang, Peter Bierhorst

We develop a framework for certifying randomness from Bell-test trials based on directly estimating the probability of the measurement outcomes with adaptive test supermartingales.…

Experimentally Generated Random Numbers Certified by the Impossibility of Superluminal Signaling

Peter Bierhorst, Emanuel Knill, Scott Glancy +7

Random numbers are an important resource for applications such as numerical simulation and secure communication. However, it is difficult to certify whether a physical random numbe…

Chained Bell Inequality Experiment with High-Efficiency Measurements

T. R. Tan, Y. Wan, S. Erickson +6

We report correlation measurements on two Be ions that violate a chained Bell inequality obeyed by any local-realistic theory. The correlations can be modeled as derived fr…

Geometric Decompositions of Bell Polytopes with Practical Applications

Peter Bierhorst

In the well-studied (2,2,2) Bell experiment consisting of two parties, two measurement settings per party, and two possible outcomes per setting, it is known that if the experiment…

A strong loophole-free test of local realism

Lynden K. Shalm, Evan Meyer-Scott, Bradley G. Christensen +31

We present a loophole-free violation of local realism using entangled photon pairs. We ensure that all relevant events in our Bell test are spacelike separated by placing the parti…
