• Abstract: Entanglement and Bell nonlocality are known to be inequivalent: there exist entangled states that admit a local hidden-variable model for all local measurements. Here we show that this gap disappears in a minimal broadcast extension of the Bell scenario. Assuming only the validity of quantum theory, we prove that for every entangled state $ρ_{AB}$ there exist local broadcasting maps and local measurements such that the resulting four--partite correlations cannot be reproduced by any broadcast network whose source is separable across the $A|B$ cut. Thus, all entangled states are broadcast nonlocal in quantum theory. In addition, we show that all (also mixed) multipartite states can be broadcast-self-tested, according to a natural operational definition.

  Device-independent certification of quantum states allows the characterization of quantum states present inside a device. A major problem in this regard is to certify quantum states using minimal resources. We consider the multipartite quantum steering scenario with an arbitrary number of parties but only one of which is trusted in the sense that the measurements performed by the trusted party are known.

  We prove that for bipartite states with a local dimension that is either $2, 4$ or $8$, every state corresponds to a basis. For some states of four qubits we are unable to find a basis, leading us to conjecture that not all quantum states admit a corresponding measurement.

  We show that the nonlocality of single-photon entangled states can nevertheless be revealed in a quantum network made only of beamsplitters and photodetectors. Our results show that single-photon entanglement may constitute a promising solution to generate genuine network-nonlocal correlations useful for Bell-based quantum information protocols.

• 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.

• Broadcasting of non-locality [0.0]
