We show that for two-qubit chained Bell inequalities with an arbitrary number of measurement settings, nonlocality and entanglement are not only different properties but are inversely related. Specifically, we analytically prove that in absence of noise, robustness of nonlocality, defined as the maximum fraction of detection events that can be lost such that the remaining ones still do not admit a local model, and concurrence are inversely related for any chained Bell inequality with an arbitrary number of settings. The closer quantum states are to product states, the harder it is to reproduce quantum correlations with local models. We also show that, in presence of noise, nonlocality and entanglement are simultaneously maximized only when the noise level is equal to the maximum level tolerated by the inequality; in any other case, a more nonlocal state is always obtained by reducing the entanglement. In addition, we observed that robustness of nonlocality and concurrence are also inversely related for the Bell scenarios defined by the tight two-qubit three-setting $I_{3322}$ inequality, and the tight two-qutrit inequality $I_3$.
Quantum Bell nonlocality is an important quantum phenomenon. Recently, the shareability of Bell nonlocality under unilateral measurements has been widely studied. In this study, we consider the shareability of quantum Bell nonlocality under bilateral measurements. Under a specific class of projection operators, we find that quantum Bell nonlocality cannot be shared for a limited number of times, as in the case of unilateral measurements. Our proof is analytical and our measurement strategies can be generalized to higher dimension cases.
We study the entanglement and the Bell nonlocality of a coupled two-qubit system, in which each qubit is coupled with one individual environment. We study how the nonequilibrium environments (with different temperatures or chemical potentials) influence the entanglement and the Bell nonlocality. The nonequilibrium environments can have constructive effects on the entanglement and the Bell nonlocality. Nonequilibrium thermodynamic cost can sustain the thermal energy or particle current and enhance the entanglement and the Bell nonlocality. However, the nonequilibrium conditions (characterized b…
We show that it is possible to have arbitrarily long sequences of Alices and Bobs so every (Alice, Bob) pair violates a Bell inequality. We propose an experiment to observe this effect with two Alices and two Bobs.
We study the Bell nonlocality of high dimensional quantum systems based on quantum entanglement. A quantitative relationship between the maximal expectation value B of Bell operators and the quantum entanglement concurrence C is obtained for even dimension pure states, with the upper and lower bounds of B governed by C.
Quantum nonlocality, one of the most important features of quantum mechanics, is normally connected in experiments with the violation of Bell-Clauser-Horne (Bell-CH) inequalities. We propose effective methods for the rearrangement and linear inequality to prove a large variety of Bell-CH inequalities. We also derive a set of Bell-CH inequalities by using these methods which can be violated in some quantum entangled states.
We address the problem of detecting bipartite Bell nonlocality whenever the only experimental information are the intensities produced in each run of the experiment by an unknown number of particles. We point out that this scenario naturally occurs in Bell experiments with parametric down-conversion when the crystal is pumped by strong pulses, in Bell tests with distant sources and in which particles suffer different delays during their flight, in Bell experiments using living cells as photo detectors, and in Bell experiments where the pairing information is physically removed. We show that, a…

The Bell nonlocality is closely related to the foundations of quantum physics and has significant applications to security questions in quantum key distributions. In recent years, the sharing ability of the Bell nonlocality has been extensively studied. The nonlocality of quantum network states is more complex. We first discuss the sharing ability of the simplest bilocality under unilateral or bilateral POVM measurements, and show that the nonlocality sharing ability of network quantum states under unilateral measurements is similar to the Bell nonlocality sharing ability, but different under …
Recently, a kind of deterministic all-versus-nothing proof of Bell nonlocality induced from the qubit non-stabilizer state was proposed, breaking the tradition that deterministic all-versus-nothing proofs are always derived from stabilizer states. A trivial generalization to the qudit (d is even) version is by using a special basis map, but such a proof can still be reduced to the qubit version. So far, whether high dimensional non-stabilizer states can induce nontrivial deterministic all-versus-nothing proofs of Bell nonlocality remains unknown. Here we present an example induced from a speci…

Bell's theorem proves that quantum theory is inconsistent with local physical models. It has propelled research in the foundations of quantum theory and quantum information science. As a fundamental feature of quantum theory, it impacts predictions far beyond the traditional scenario of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox. In the last decade, the investigation of nonlocality has moved beyond Bell's theorem to consider more sophisticated experiments that involve several independent sources which distribute shares of physical systems among many parties in a network. Network scenarios, and the no…
As a way of saving quantum resources, recycling of Bell nonlocality has been experimentally studied, but restricted to sequential unsharp measurements. However, it has been theoretically shown recently that projective measurements are sufficient for recycling nonlocality [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{129}, 230402 (2022)]. Here, we go beyond unsharp measurement scenarios and experimentally demonstrate the recycling of nonlocal resources with projective measurements. By verifying the violation of Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality, we find that three independent parties can recycle the Bel…
