• Abstract: Quantum nonlocality is often judged by violations of Bell-type inequalities for a given state. The computation of such violations is a global task, requiring evaluation of global correlations and subsequent testing against a Bell functional. We ask instead: when is a given state local (classical)? We formalize this question via local perception operators (LPOs) that compress global observables into locally accessible statistics, and we derive two complementary witnesses -- one implementable by a single party with classical side information, one intrinsically two-sided. These tools revisit familiar Bell scenarios from a new operational angle. We show how the witness leads to state-aware constraints that depend on local marginals and measurement geometry, with natural specializations to canonical scenarios. The resulting criteria are built from first moments and standard projective measurements and provide a way to certify compatibility with local hidden variable explanations for the LPO-processed data in regimes where conventional Bell violations may be inconclusive.

• Local Friendliness Polytopes In Multipartite Scenarios [0.0]
  The Local Friendliness (LF) no-go theorem has gained a lot of attention, owing to its deep foundational implications. This no-go theorem applies to scenarios which combine Bell experiments with Wigner's friend-type set ups. We identify all the canonical Local Friendliness scenarios, with arbitrary but finite numbers of superobservers, friends, measurements and outcomes.

  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.
