Combinatorics and quantum nonlocality.

We use techniques for lower bounds on communication to derive necessary conditions (in terms of detector efficiency or amount of superluminal communication) for being able to reproduce the quantum correlations occurring in Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-type experiments with classical local hidden-variable theories. As an application, we consider n parties sharing a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type state and show that the amount of superluminal classical communication required to reproduce the correlations is at least n(log((2)n-3) bits and the maximum detector efficiency eta(*) for which the resulting correlations can still be reproduced by a local hidden-variable theory is upper bounded by eta(*)</=8/n and thus decreases with n.

Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger paradoxes for many qudits.

We construct Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) contradictions for three or more parties sharing an entangled state, the dimension of each subsystem being an even integer d. The simplest example that goes beyond the standard GHZ paradox (three qubits) involves five ququats (d=4). We then examine the criteria that a GHZ paradox must satisfy in order to be genuinely M partite and d dimensional.

Bell inequalities for arbitrarily high-dimensional systems.

We develop a novel approach to Bell inequalities based on a constraint that the correlations exhibited by local variable theories must satisfy. This is used to construct a family of Bell inequalities for bipartite quantum systems of arbitrarily high dimensionality which are strongly resistant to noise. In particular, our work gives an analytic description of previous numerical results and generalizes them to arbitrarily high dimensionality.
