Extremals: (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (1, 1, 1). Polytope: Convex hull of the extremals Mika Hirvensalo Basics on quantum information 42 of 49

125 Bell Inequalities Lemma (p 1, p 2, p 12 ) is an eligible probability vector if and only if 0 p 12 p 1, p 2 1 and 0 p 1 + p 2 p 12 1 These are Bell inequalities! Idea of proof: Correlation polytope in R 3 Formed from collection {{1}, {2}, {1, 2}} as follows: (e 1, e 2 ) (e 1, e 2, e 1 e 2 ), where e 1, e 2 {0, 1}. Extremals: (0, 0, 0), (1, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0), (1, 1, 1). Polytope: Convex hull of the extremals Theorem: (p 1, p 2, p 12 ) is an eligible probability if and only if it is in the convex hull Mika Hirvensalo Basics on quantum information 42 of 49

126 Bell Inequalities Now (p 1, p 2, p 12 ) = (1 p 2 p 2 + p 12 )(0, 0, 0) + (p 2 p 12 )(0, 1, 0) + (p 1 p 12 )(1, 0, 0) + p 12 (1, 1, 1). However, the representation is not generally unique. Mika Hirvensalo Basics on quantum information 43 of 49

127 Bell Inequalities Example {{1}, {3}, {1, 3}, {1, 4}, {2, 3}, {2, 4}} generates a correlation polytope in R 6 with extremals {(e 1, e 3, e 1 e 3, e 1 e 4, e 2 e 3, e 2 e 4 ) e i {0, 1}} Mika Hirvensalo Basics on quantum information 44 of 49

128 Bell Inequalities Example {{1}, {3}, {1, 3}, {1, 4}, {2, 3}, {2, 4}} generates a correlation polytope in R 6 with extremals Easy to verify: for each extremal. {(e 1, e 3, e 1 e 3, e 1 e 4, e 2 e 3, e 2 e 4 ) e i {0, 1}} e 1 e 4 + e 1 e 3 + e 2 e 3 e 2 e 4 e 1 e 3 { 1, 0} Mika Hirvensalo Basics on quantum information 44 of 49
