abstract

Entanglement swapping is a process by which two initially independent quantum systems can become entangled and generate nonlocal correlations. To characterize such correlations, we compare them to those predicted by bilocal models, where systems that are initially independent are described by uncorrelated states. We extend in this paper the analysis of bilocal correlations initiated in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 170401 (2010)]. In particular, we derive new Bell-type inequalities based on the bilocality assumption in different scenarios, we study their possible quantum violations, and analyze their resistance to experimental imperfections. The bilocality assumption, being stronger than Bell's standard local causality assumption, lowers the requirements for the demonstration of quantumness in entanglement swapping experiments.

  • The minimal example of quantum network Bell nonlocality quant-ph · 2026-05-01 · unverdicted · none · ref 7

    Quantum nonlocality is possible in the triangle network with no inputs and binary outputs, which is the smallest such scenario by number of variables and outcomes.

  • Local models and Bell inequalities for the minimal triangle network quant-ph · 2025-03-20 · unverdicted · none · ref 20 · internal anchor

    Exhaustive search yields conjectured tight Bell inequalities defining the local set for symmetric binary-outcome triangle networks, together with outer approximations used to probe the classical-quantum gap.
