Detection of the genuine non-locality of any three-qubit state

Abstract

It is known that the violation of Svetlichny inequality by any three-qubit state described by the density operator ρABC witness the genuine non-locality of ρABC. But it is not an easy task as the problem of showing the genuine non-locality of any three-qubit state reduces to the problem of a complicated optimization problem. Thus, the detection of genuine non-locality of any three-qubit state may be considered a challenging task. Therefore, we have taken a different approach and derived the lower and upper bound of the expectation value of the Svetlichny operator with respect to any three-qubit state to study this problem. The expression of the obtained bounds depends on whether the reduced two-qubit entangled state is detected by the CHSH witness operator or not. It may be expressed in terms of the following quantities such as (i) the eigenvalues of the product of the given three-qubit state and the composite system of single qubit maximally mixed state and reduced two-qubit state and (ii) the non-locality of reduced two-qubit state. We then achieve the inequality whose violation may detect the genuine non-locality of any three-qubit state. A few examples are cited to support our obtained results. Lastly, we discuss its possible implementation in the laboratory.
