Inseparable Criterion and Bell Inequality

In this letter, we shall show how to construct constrained Bell-type inequality for a general two-party system, and violating this inequality is equivalent to being inseparable. For 2 × 2 system, the maximum violation is 3, while for 3 × 3 system, the largest violation is 11/3.     

Observations of Bell Inequality Violations with Causal Isolation between Source and Detectors

We report the experimental observations of Bell inequality violations (BIV) in entangled photons causally separated by a rotating mirror. A Foucault mirror gating geometry is used to causally isolate the entangled photon source and detectors. We report an observed BIV of CHSH-S=2.30±0.07>2.00. This result rules out theories that explain correlations with traveling communication between source and detectors, including super-luminal and instantaneous communication.     

Degree of Entanglement and Violation of Bell Inequality by Two-Spin-1/2 States

Bell inequality is violated by the quantum mechanical predictions made from an entangled state of the composite system. In this paper we examine this inequality and entanglement measures in the construction of the coherent states for two-qubit pure and mixed states. we find a link to some entanglement measures through some new parameters (amplitudes of coherent states). Conditions for maximal entanglement and separability are then established for both pure and mixed states. Finally, we analyze and compare the violation of Bell inequality for a class of mixed states with the degree of
entanglement by applying the formalism of Horodecki et al.     

Simplified Scheme for Test of Quantum Nonlocality Without Using Bell Inequality

A simplified scheme is proposed for the test of quantum nonlocality of the type described by Hardy [Phys.Rev.Left.71 (1993) 1665].In the scheme two appropriately prepared atoms are simultaneously sent through a cavity and dispersively interact with the cavity field.Then state-selective measurements are performed on these atoms,which may reveal quantum nonlocality without using Bell inequality.We also propose a simple scheme for the generation of multi-atom entangled states.``     

Degree of Entanglement for Some Bipartite Entangled Bosonic Systems

We calculate the degree of entanglement for some bipartite entangled states of continuous variables.These states include common two-mode squeezed vacuum state, thermal vacuum state of a free single particle (where the fictitious tilde system is regarded as another particle), and the squeezed vacuum state of two coupling harmonic oscillators.The degree of entanglement for these quantum systems are shown clearly by using the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators.

Bell＇s Inequality for a System Composed of Particles with Different Spins

For two particles with different spins, we derive the Bell＇s inequality. The inequality is investigated for two systems combining spin-1 and spin-1/; spin-1/2 and spin-3/2. We show that for these states Bell＇s inequality is violated.     

Bipartite and Tripartite Entanglement in a Three-Qubit Heisenberg Model

The bipartite and tripartite entanglement in a three-qubit Heisenberg XY model with a nonuniform magnetic field is studied. There are two or four peaks in the concurrence of the bipartite entanglement when the amplitudes of the magnetic fields are. differently distributed between the three qubits. It is very interesting to note that there is no tangle of tripartite entanglement between the three qubits when the amplitudes of the magnetic fieMs are varied. However, the variation of the magnetic field direction can induce the tangle. The tangle is periodic about the angle between the magnetic field and the z axis of the spin.

Inequality relations for the hierarchy of quantum correlations in two-qubit systems

Entanglement, quantum steering and Bell nonlocality can be used to describe the distinct quantum correlations of quantum systems. Because of their different characteristics and application fields, how to divide them quantitatively and accurately becomes particularly important. Based on the sufficient and necessary criterion for quantum steering of an arbitrary two-qubit T-state, we derive the inequality relations between quantum steering and entanglement as well as between quantum steering and Bell nonlocality for the T-state. Additionally, we have verified those relations experimentally.     

Bipartite entanglement in spin-1/2 Heisenberg model

The bipartite entanglement of the two- and three-spin Heisenberg model was investigated by using the concept of negativity. It is found that for the ground-state entanglement of the two-spin model, the negativity always decreases as B increases if Δ<γ－1, and it may keep a steady value of 0.5 in the region of B2－γ²]^1/2 if Δ>γ－1, while for that of the three-spin model, the negativity exhibits square wave structures if γ=0 or Δ=0. For thermal states, there are two areas showing entanglement, namely, the main region and the sub-region. The main region exists only when Δ>Δ_c (Δ_c=γ－1 and (γ²－1)/2 for the 2- and 3-spin model respectively) and extends in terms of B and T as Δ increases, while the sub-region survives only when γ≠0 and shrinks in terms of B and T as Δ increases.     

Detection of Tripartite Genuine Entanglement by Two Bipartite Entangled States

There are practical motivations to construct genuine tripartite entangled states based on the collective use of two bipartite entangled states. Here, the case that the states are two‐qubit Werner states is considered. The intervals of parameters of two‐qubit Werner states are revealed such that the tripartite state is genuinely entangled. Furthermore, we also investigate the lower bound of genuine multipartite entanglement concurrence for tripartite qudit states. Several examples are given to show the effectiveness of the lower bound.     

A Generalized Bell Inequality and Decoherence for the K0KO

First, a generalized Bell inequality for different times and for different quasi-spin states is developed. We focus on special quasi-spin eigenstates and times. The inequality based on a local realistic theory is violated by the CP-violating parameter [1] if the quantum theory is used to recalculate the probabilities. Next, the quantum mechanical probabilities are modified by the decoherence approach, which enables the initial state to factorize spontaneously. In this way we get a lower limit for the decoherence parameter , which measures the degree of decoherence. This result is compared with the experimental value [2, 3] of the decoherence parameter deduced from the data of the CPLEAR experiment [4].     

The Essence of More Nonlocality with Less Entanglement in Bell Tests

In this paper, we will explore the essence of the phenomenon that state with less entanglement may generate greater Bell violation in the two-qubit Bell tests with CH-type inequalities, i.e., more nonlocality with less entanglement. We will show that this interesting but counterintuitive phenomenon is caused by the rotational asymmetry of the nonmaximally entangled state in the measurement plane. This asymmetry allows the both-side detection probabilities and the one-side detection probabilities obtain their maximal values with nonmaximally entangled state. But the maximal Bell violation may not always happen on nonmaximally entangled state, because these probabilities will compete with each other, and the Bell violation behaves differently for various CH-type inequalities.
