Measure-independent anomaly of nonlocality

TL;DR

This paper demonstrates a measure-independent anomaly of nonlocality in bipartite quantum states, showing that certain local states can be transformed into nonlocal states through local operations and minimal communication, revealing hidden nonlocality.

Contribution

It introduces a measure-independent phenomenon where local states with hidden nonlocality can be deterministically transformed into nonlocal states, revealing a fundamental anomaly.

Findings

Local filtering reveals hidden nonlocality in Bell local states.

States more entangled than nonlocal states can be transformed into nonlocal states.

Minimal communication enables revealing hidden nonlocality in bipartite states.

Abstract

We show that any Bell local state, with a hidden nonlocality that can be revealed by local filtering, is more, or equally, entangled than nonlocal states. More precisely, it can be deterministically transformed into a nonlocal state, by local operations and classical communication. For such a state, there is a clear anomaly of nonlocality, for any measures of entanglement and nonlocality. Moreover, we prove that the hidden nonlocality of any bipartite state more, or equally, entangled than nonlocal states, can be revealed by local operations and the sending of two one-bit messages, one in each direction. For some particular states, one bit of communication is even enough.
