• Abstract summary: Losses in the transmission channel, which increase with distance, pose a major obstacle to photonics demonstrations of quantum nonlocality. Recently, Chaturvedi, Viola, and Pawlowski introduced a variation of standard Bell experiments with the goal of extending the range over which quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated. In these experiments, which we call 'routed Bell experiments', Bob can route his quantum particle along two possible paths and measure it at two distinct locations.

• Abstract: Losses in the transmission channel, which increase with distance, pose a major obstacle to photonics demonstrations of quantum nonlocality and its applications. Recently, Chaturvedi, Viola, and Pawlowski (CVP) [arXiv:2211.14231] introduced a variation of standard Bell experiments with the goal of extending the range over which quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated. In these experiments, which we call 'routed Bell experiments', Bob can route his quantum particle along two possible paths and measure it at two distinct locations - one near and another far from the source. The idea is that a Bell violation in the short-path should weaken the conditions required to detect nonlocal correlations in the long-path. Indeed, CVP showed that there are quantum correlations in routed Bell experiments such that the outcomes of the remote device cannot be classically predetermined, even when its detection efficiency is arbitrarily low. In this paper, we show that the correlations considered by CVP, though they cannot be classically predetermined, do not require the transmission of quantum systems to the remote device. This leads us to define the concept of 'short-range' and 'long-range' quantum correlations in routed Bell experiments. We show that these correlations can be characterized through standard semidefinite programming hierarchies for non-commutative polynomial optimization. We then explore the conditions under which short-range quantum correlations can be ruled out. We point out that there exist fundamental lower-bounds on the critical detection efficiency of the distant device, implying that routed Bell experiments cannot demonstrate long-range quantum nonlocality at arbitrarily large distances. However, we do find that routed Bell experiments allow for reducing the detection efficiency threshold. The improvements, though, are significantly smaller than those suggested by CVP's analysis.

  We report an experimental certification of genuine multipartite Bell correlations, which signal nonlocality in quantum many-body systems. In particular, we employ energy as a Bell correlation witness and variationally decrease the energy of a many-body system across a hierarchy of thresholds. Our results establish a viable approach for preparing and certifying multipartite Bell correlations, which provide a finer benchmark beyond entanglement for quantum devices.

• Quantum speed limit for Kirkwood-Dirac quasiprobabilities [0.0]
  We derive quantum speed limits for two-time correlation functions arising from statistics of measurements. Our quantum speed limits are derived from the Heisenberg-Robertson uncertainty relation, and set the minimal time at which a quasiprobability can become non-positive. As an illustrative example, we apply these results to a conditional quantum gate, by determining the optimal condition giving rise to non-classicality at maximum speed.

• Simple Tests of Quantumness Also Certify Qubits [69.96668065491183]
  A test of quantumness is a protocol that allows a classical verifier to certify (only) that a prover is not classical. We show that tests of quantumness that follow a certain template, which captures recent proposals such as (Kalai et al., 2022) can in fact do much more. Namely, the same protocols can be used for certifying a qubit, a building-block that stands at the heart of applications such as certifiable randomness and classical delegation of quantum computation.

• Optimal strategy to certify quantum nonlocality [0.0]
  certification of quantum nonlocality plays a central role in practical applications like device-independent quantum cryptography. We introduce a technique to find a Bell inequality with the largest possible gap between the quantum prediction and the classical local hidden variable limit. We illustrate our technique by improving the detection of quantum nonlocality from experimental data obtained with weakly entangled photons.

• Bell non-locality using tensor networks and sparse recovery [0.0]
  Bell's theorem, stating that quantum predictions are incompatible with a local hidden variable description, is a cornerstone of quantum theory. We propose to analyse a Bell scenario as a tensor network, a perspective permitting to test and quantify non-locality. It allows to prove that non-signalling correlations can be described by hidden variable models governed by a quasi-probability.
