Exact Steering Bound for Two-Qubit Werner States.

Abstract

Whether positive operator-valued measures (POVMs) provide advantages in demonstrating Bell nonlocality has remained unknown, even in the simple scenario of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering with noisy singlet state, known as Werner states. Here we resolve this long-standing open problem by constructing a local hidden state model for Werner states with any visibility r≤1/2 under general POVMs, thereby closing the so-called Werner gap. This construction is based on an exact measurement compatibility model for the set of all noisy POVMs and also provides a local hidden variable model for a larger range of Werner states than previously known.
