• Abstract: We propose a framework to characterize the correlations in qubit systems for Bell and prepare-and-measure scenarios with independent devices -- a typically non-convex problem. Based on this result, we introduce protocols for referring devices and detecting entanglement with correlation that are not necessarily extreme or nonlocal, as required by common linear approach. } Specifically, our correlation criterion, derived from uncertainty relation specific to qubit systems, can capture the non-convex nature of the set of correlations arising from Bell and prepare-and-measure scenarios, as demonstrated through concrete examples. Conversely, when given an observed correlation, our framework can refer potential measurements and quantum states -- which are sometimes uniquely determined -- even with correlations that are not extreme. This extends common protocols that merely verify devices using extreme correlations. We then enhance entanglement detection for qubit system by incorporating the inferred information in Navascu\'{e}s-Pironio-Ac\'{i}n (NPA) hierarchy, showing that some local correlations can also verify entanglement. Since the scenarios considered here are standard platforms for most quantum information protocols and device inference is a central issue in quantum information science, our methodology, which is well-suited to these tasks, may provide a foundation for a broad range of applications.
