• Abstract: Nonlocal correlations created in networks with multiple independent sources enable surprising phenomena in quantum information and quantum foundations. The presence of independent sources, however, makes the analysis of network nonlocality challenging, and even in the simplest nontrivial scenarios a complete characterization is lacking. In this work we study one of the simplest of these scenarios, namely that of distributions invariant under permutations of parties in the minimal triangle network, which features no inputs and binary outcomes. We perform an exhaustive search for triangle-local models, and from it we infer analytic expressions for the boundaries of the set of distributions that admit such models, which we conjecture to be all the tight Bell inequalities for the scenario. Armed with them and with improved outer approximations of the set, we provide new insights on the existence of a classical-quantum gap in the triangle network with binary outcomes.

• Device-independent full network nonlocality for arbitrary-party and unbounded-input scenario [0.0]
  Full network nonlocality (FNN) characterizes quantum correlations that cannot be reproduced by a local-nonlocal model. We introduce an elegant set of arbitrary-party and unbounded-input network inequalities in star-shaped and linear-chain networks. Our derivation of optimal quantum violation is fully analytic and devoid of assuming the dimension of the quantum system.

• Post-quantum nonlocality in the minimal triangle scenario [42.72938925647165]
  We investigate network nonlocality in the triangle scenario when all three parties have no input and binary outputs. We prove that this minimal scenario supports nonlocal correlations compatible with no-signaling and independence of the three sources, but not with realisations based on independent quantum or classical sources.

• Detecting Nontrilocal Correlations In Triangle Networks [0.0]
  Correlations in quantum networks with independent sources exhibit a completely novel form of nonclassicality. A set of criteria is framed in the form of Bell-type inequalities, each of which is necessarily satisfied by trilocal correlations. measurement on a local product state basis turns out to be sufficient to generate nontrilocal correlations in some quantum networks.

• Experimental full network nonlocality with independent sources and strict locality constraints [59.541438315564854]
  Nonlocality in networks gives rise to phenomena radically different from that in standard Bell scenarios. We experimentally observe full network nonlocality in a network where the source-independence, locality, and measurement-independence loopholes are closed. Our experiment violates known inequalities characterizing non-full network nonlocal correlations by over five standard deviations.

• Certification of non-classicality in all links of a photonic star network without assuming quantum mechanics [52.95080735625503]
  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.

• Possibilistic approach to network nonlocality [0.0]
  We explore a possibilistic approach, where only patterns of possible outcomes matter, and apply it to Bell nonlocality in networks with independent sources. We present various algorithms for determining whether a given outcome pattern can be achieved via classical resources or via non-signaling resources. We show how to construct certificates for detecting the nonlocality of a certain pattern, in the form of nonlinear Bell-type inequalities involving joint probabilities.

We produce a large collection of network Bell inequalities for the triangle scenario with binary outcomes, which are of independent interest.

• 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.
