• Abstract summary: Schr"odinger held that a local quantum system has some objectively real quantum state and no other (hidden) properties. He took the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen phenomenon, which he generalized and called steering', to require nonlocal wavefunction collapse. Because this would entail faster-than-light (FTL) information transmission, he doubted that it would be seen experimentally. Here we report a demonstration of EPR steering with entangled photon pairs that puts--in Schr"odinger's interpretation--a non-zero lower bound on the amount of FTL information transmission

• Abstract: Schr\"odinger held that a local quantum system has some objectively real quantum state and no other (hidden) properties. He therefore took the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) phenomenon, which he generalized and called `steering', to require nonlocal wavefunction collapse. Because this would entail faster-than-light (FTL) information transmission, he doubted that it would be seen experimentally. Here we report a demonstration of EPR steering with entangled photon pairs that puts--in Schr\"odinger's interpretation--a non-zero lower bound on the amount of FTL information transmission. We develop a family of $n$-setting loss-tolerant EPR-steering inequalities allowing for a size-$d$ classical message sent from Alice's laboratory to Bob's. For the case $n=3$ and $d=2$ (one bit) we observe a statistically significant violation. Our experiment closes the efficiency and locality loopholes, and we address the freedom-of-choice loophole by using quantum random number generators to independently choose Alice's and Bob's measurement basis settings. To close the efficiency and locality loopholes simultaneously, we introduce methods for quickly switching between three mutually unbiased measurement bases and for accurately characterizing the efficiency of detectors. From the space-time arrangement of our experiment, we can conclude that if the mechanism for the observed bipartite correlations is that Alice's measurement induces wave-function collapse of Bob's particle, then more than one bit of information must travel from Alice to Bob at more than three times the speed of light.

• Demonstration of Maxwell Demon-assistant Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering via Superconducting Quantum Processor [22.793245624610755]
  The concept of Maxwell demon plays an essential role in connecting thermodynamics and information theory, while entanglement and non-locality are fundamental features of quantum theory. Recently, a novel concept called Maxwell demon-assistant Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering has been proposed, which suggests that it is possible to simulate quantum correlation by doing work. In this study, we demonstrate Maxwell demon-assistant EPR steering with superconducting quantum circuits.

  Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen claimed the incompleteness of quantum mechanics by assuming that local actions cannot influence the elements of reality in a distant location. We show that Alice's local quantum operations can be correlated with the quantum reality of observables in the causally disconnected laboratory of Bob.

We use the multipartite Glauber coherent state as a quantum resource linking distant partners Alice and Bob. We show that the choice of the pre-shared quantum channel has a critical role in achieving high BQT efficiency.
