The quantum statistical fluctuations of the electromagnetic field establish a limit, known as shot-noise on sensitivity optical measurements performed with classical technologies. However, technologies are not constrained by this limit. In regard, possibility using every photon produced sources light to estimate small physical parameters, beyond constitutes one main goals optics.

We report correlation measurements on two ^{9}Be^{+} ions that violate a chained Bell inequality obeyed by any local-realistic theory. The correlations can be modeled as derived from mixture of probabilistic distribution and violates the inequality.

We prove that is additive, convex, and monotone under class free operations called local common randomness. As one our technical contributions, establish chain rule two variants mutual information, which then use to additive. This may be independent interest other contexts.

Many three-party correlations, including some that are commonly described as genuinely tripartite nonlocal, can be simulated by a network of underlying subsystems display only bipartite nonsignaling nonlocal behavior. Quantum mechanics predicts correlations admit no such simulation, suggesting there versions nonlocality in nature transcending the phenomenon nonlocality. This paper introduces rigorous framework for analyzing bipartite-only networks. We confirm expected properties so-obtained...

According to recent new definitions, a multi-party behavior is genuinely multipartite nonlocal (GMNL) if it cannot be modeled by measurements on an underlying network of bipartite-only resources, possibly supplemented with local (classical) resources shared all parties. The definitions differ whether allow entangled upon, and/or superquantum behaviors among, the bipartite resources. Here, we categorize full hierarchy these candidate GMNL in three-party quantum networks, highlighting intimate...

Random numbers are an important resource for applications such as numerical simulation and secure communication. However, it is difficult to certify whether a physical random number generator truly unpredictable. Here, we exploit the phenomenon of quantum nonlocality in loophole-free photonic Bell test experiment generation randomness that cannot be predicted within any theory allows one make independent measurement choices prohibits superluminal signaling. To quantify randomness, describe...

Recent experiments have reached detection efficiencies sufficient to close the loophole with photons. Both ran multiple successive trials in fixed measurement configurations, rather than randomly re-setting configurations before each trial. This opens a new potential for local hidden variable theory.
