• Abstract: Determining whether an observed distribution of events generated in a quantum network is Bell local, i.e., if it admits an alternative realization in terms of independent local variables, is extremely challenging. Building upon arXiv:1907.10552, we develop a software solution that parameterizes local models in networks via neural networks. This allows one to leverage optimization tools available from the machine learning community in the search of network Bell nonlocality. Our solution applies to arbitrary networks, is easy to use, and includes technical improvements that significantly increase performance compared to previous implementations. We apply it to investigate nonlocality in several networks hitherto unexplored, providing insights on the corresponding quantum nonlocal sets and suggesting concrete, promising realizations of quantum nonlocal correlations.

• Network Quantum Steering [0.0]
  We show how Bell nonlocality and quantum steering can be used to demonstrate network steering. We also show that it is a genuinely novel effect, by exhibiting unsteerable states that nevertheless demonstrate network steering. On the other hand, we provide no-go results for network steering in a large class of scenarios, by explicitly constructing NLHS models.

• 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.
