• Abstract summary: We show that quantum nonlocality without inputs can be demonstrated for sources with an arbitrarily small level of independence. We use a simulated triangle network to violate experimentally for the first time a Bell-like inequality. Our results allow us to deepen our understanding of network nonlocality while also pushing its practical relevance for quantum communication networks.

• Abstract: The exploration of the concept of nonlocality beyond standard Bell scenarios in quantum network architectures unveils fundamentally new forms of correlations that hold a strong potential for future applications of quantum communication networks. To materialize this potential, it is necessary to adapt theoretical advances to realistic configurations. Here we consider a quantum triangle network, for which is was shown in theory that, remarkably, quantum nonlocality without inputs can be demonstrated for sources with an arbitrarily small level of independence. We realize experimentally such correlated sources by carefully engineering the output state of a single AlGaAs multiplexed entangled-photon source, exploiting energy-matched channels cut in its broad spectrum. This simulated triangle network is then used to violate experimentally for the first time a Bell-like inequality that we derive to capture the effect of noise in the correlations present in our system. We also rigorously validate our findings by analysing the mutual information between the generated states. Our results allow us to deepen our understanding of network nonlocality while also pushing its practical relevance for quantum communication networks.

  Quantum networks connect and supply a large number of nodes with multi-party quantum resources for secure communication, networked quantum computing and distributed sensing. As these networks grow in size, certification tools will be required to answer questions regarding their properties. We demonstrate a general method to guarantee that certain correlations cannot be generated in a given quantum network.

  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.

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.

  Two independent sources using different technologies are used to share photonic entangled state among three nodes connected through a 270 m free-space channel and fiber links. By violating a suitable non-linear Bell inequality, we demonstrate the nonlocal behaviour of the correlations among the nodes of the network. Our results pave the way towards the realization of more complex networks and the implementation of quantum communication protocols in an urban environment.

• 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.
