• Abstract: Quantum networks can exhibit nonclassical correlations that cannot be explained by classical models with independent sources. While the role of entanglement is well understood, the impact of measurement design remains largely unexplored. Here we develop an operational framework for certifying network nonlocality in the bilocal Alice--Bob--Charlie network using ancilla-assisted meters to evaluate the nonlocal observables required for bilocal and fully network nonlocal (FNN) witnesses. The approach successfully reproduces both bilocal and FNN correlations in simulation. On the 156-qubit superconducting processor \textit{ibm\_kingston}, we observe bilocal nonlocality with $\mathcal{S}_{\rm BLHV}=1.067(6)>1$ after readout-error mitigation, while the FNN witnesses reach $99\%$ and $96\%$ of their certification thresholds, implying the substantially stronger requirements for FNN certification. We further show that Bob's joint measurement determines the accessible level of network nonlocality: bilocal and FNN certification are optimized by different measurement settings, while both violations can disappear even for maximally entangled states. These results identify measurement geometry as an independent resource for network nonlocality and provide a practical route toward its certification on programmable quantum processors.

  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.

  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.

  Recently many plug-and-play self-attention modules (SAMs) are proposed to enhance the model generalization by exploiting the internal information of deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) We empirically find and verify some counterintuitive phenomena that: (a) Connecting the SAMs to all the blocks may not always bring the largest performance boost, and connecting to partial blocks would be even better; (b) Adding the SAMs to a CNN may not always bring a performance boost, and instead it may even harm the performance of the original CNN backbone.

• 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.
