• Abstract: The possibility of nonclassicality in networks unrelated to Bell's original eponymous theorem has recently attracted significant interest. Here, we identify a sufficient condition for being "outside the shadow of Bell's theorem" and introduce a testable criterion capable of certifying the novelty of instances of network-nonclassicality which we call minimal network nonclassicality. We provide examples of minimally network nonclassical correlations realizable in quantum theory as well as examples coming from more exotic operational probabilistic theories. In particular, we apply these concepts to the simplest configuration of the 3-chain scenario (a.k.a. the bilocality scenario) to prove that certain correlations have escaped the shadow of Bell's theorem. While some of the examples herein are unprecedented, we also revisit more familiar examples of network nonclassicality in order to highlight the contrast between our approach versus prior approaches with respect to assessing novelty.

  Bell's theorem prompts us with a fundamental inquiry: what is the simplest scenario leading to the incompatibility between quantum correlations and the classical theory of causality? Here we demonstrate that quantum non-classicality is possible in a network consisting of only three dichotomic variables, without the need of the locality assumption neither external measurement choices.

  Review paper discusses a fundamental question: how can entanglement be effectively and indirectly distributed between distant nodes in an imperfect quantum network? We show that the classical percolation frameworks do not uniquely define the network's indirect connectivity. This realization leads to the emergence of an alternative theory called concurrence percolation,'' which uncovers a previously unrecognized quantum advantage that emerges at large scales.

• Hierarchical certification of nonclassical network correlations [50.32788626697182]
  We derive linear and nonlinear Bell-like inequalities for networks, whose violation certifies the absence of a minimum number of classical sources in them. We insert this assumption, which leads to results more amenable to certification in experiments.

  Full network nonlocality goes beyond standard nonlocality in networks by falsifying any model in which at least one source is classical. We report on the observation of full network nonlocality in a star-shaped network featuring three independent sources of photonic qubits and joint three-qubit entanglement-swapping measurements.

  Quantum networks can lead to a genuine form of tripartite nonlocality, where classical models are unable to mimic the quantum predictions even if some of the parties are allowed to communicate. We show that such networks can lead to a genuine form of tripartite nonlocality, where classical models are unable to mimic the quantum predictions even if some of the parties are allowed to communicate.

• Full network nonlocality [68.8204255655161]
  We introduce the concept of full network nonlocality, which describes correlations that necessitate all links in a network to distribute nonlocal resources. We show that the most well-known network Bell test does not witness full network nonlocality. More generally, we point out that established methods for analysing local and theory-independent correlations in networks can be combined in order to deduce sufficient conditions for full network nonlocality.

  Bell's theorem proves that quantum theory is inconsistent with local physical models. In the last decade, the investigation of nonlocality has moved beyond Bell's theorem to consider more sophisticated experiments. This review discusses the main concepts, methods, results and future challenges in the emerging topic of Bell nonlocality in networks.
