Quantum states with Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations admitting a hidden-variable model

Werner, Reinhard F.·1989·Physical Review A

Abstract

A state of a composite quantum system is called classically correlated if it can be approximated by convex combinations of product states, and Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlated otherwise. Any classically correlated state can be modeled by a hidden-variable theory and hence satisfies all generalized Bell's inequalities. It is shown by an explicit example that the converse of this statement is false.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • For standard Werner states, the state is separable if and only if its mixing parameter p is at most 1/3.

    “which implies the well known fact8 that a given Werner state is separable iff its mixing parameter is .”
  • For standard Werner states, the state violates the CHSH inequality if and only if its mixing parameter p is greater than 1/√2.

    “This function reduces for to the well-known result that the Werner state violates the CHSH inequality iff the mixing parameter 8.”
  • For standard Werner states with mixing parameter p between 1/3 and 1/√2, the state is entangled although it does not violate the CHSH inequality.

    “By comparing Eq. (26) with Eq. (8), it is clearly seen that the Werner states for the mixing parameter are entangled, although they do not violate the CHSH inequality, as was first predicted in Ref.8.”
  • In Ref. [21], using a setup similar to Fig. 1, the authors experimentally generated entangled two-qubit mixed states that lie upon and below the Werner curve in the linear entropy-tangle plane.

    “In Ref. ͓21͔, by using a setup similar to the one shown in Fig. 1, we have experimentally generated entangled twoqubit mixed states that lie upon and below the Werner curve in the linear entropy-tangle plane ͓41͔.”

    From Linear optics and quantum maps (2007) · cites this paper as [41]

  • For pure states, entanglement can be efficiently concentrated into singlets by local operations and classical communication, with yield m/n approaching E(Υ) as n→∞.

    “For pure states, this entanglement can be efficiently concentrated into singlets by the methods of [6], which use local operations and classical communication to transform n input states Υ into m singlets with a yield m/n approaching E (Υ) as n → ∞ .”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
