Partial Self-Testing and Randomness Certification in the Triangle Network.

Abstract

Quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated without inputs (i.e., each party using a fixed measurement setting) in a network with independent sources. Here we consider this effect on ring networks, and show that the underlying quantum strategy can be partially characterized, or self-tested, from observed correlations. Applying these results to the triangle network allows us to show that the nonlocal distribution of Renou etal. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 140401 (2019)PRLTAO0031-900710.1103/PhysRevLett.123.140401] requires that (i)all sources produce a minimal amount of entanglement, (ii)all local measurements are entangled, and (iii)each local outcome features a minimal entropy. Hence we show that the triangle network allows for genuine network quantum nonlocality and certifiable randomness.
