We study the relation between violation of Bell inequalities and distillability properties of quantum states. Recently, Dür [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 230402 (2001)] has shown that there are some multiparticle bound entangled states which are nonseparable and nondistillable, that violate a Bell inequality. We prove that for all the states violating this inequality there exists at least one splitting of the parties into two groups such that some pure-state entanglement can be distilled, obtaining a…

### Bell inequality, separability and entanglement distillation

• Physics
• 2011
In this review, we introduce well-known Bell inequalities, the relations between the Bell inequality and quantum separability, and the entanglement distillation of quantum states. It is shown that

### Asymptotic violation of Bell inequalities and distillability.

It is shown that asymptotic violation of any of these inequalities by a multipartite state implies that pure-state entanglement can be distilled from it, although the corresponding distillation protocol may require that some of the parties join into several groups.

### Multipartite entanglement inequalities via spin vector geometry.

• Physics
Physical review letters
• 2005
In inequalities for multipartite entanglement, derived from the geometry of spin vectors, are introduced, which are violated by certain bound entangled states for which no Bell-type violation has yet been found.

### LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Violation of Bell's inequalities and distillability for N qubits

• Mathematics
• 2003
We consider quantum systems composed of N qubits, and the family of all Bell's correlation inequalities for two two-valued measurements per site. We show that if an N-qubit state ρ violates any of

### Disproving the Peres conjecture by showing Bell nonlocality from bound entanglement.

• Physics

• 2014
The Peres conjecture is disproved by showing that an undistillable bipartite entangled state--a bound entangled state)--can violate a Bell inequality, which implies neither entanglement distilling, nor non-positivity under partial transposition.

### Family of Bell inequalities violated by higher-dimensional bound entangled states

• Mathematics
• 2017
We construct ($d\times d$)-dimensional bound entangled states, which violate, for any $d>2$, a bipartite Bell inequality introduced in this paper. We conjecture that the proposed class of Bell

### Quantum nonlocality does not imply entanglement distillability.

• Physics
Physical review letters
• 2012
This work presents analytically a 3-qubit entangled state that is separable along any bipartition, and implies that no bipartite entanglement can be distilled from this state, which is thus fully bound entangled.

### A witness of multipartite entanglement strata

• Physics
• 2008
We describe an entanglement witness for N-qubit mixed states based on the properties of N-point correlation functions. As the degree of violation increases beyond different threshold values, or

### Generalized Smolin states and their properties

• Physics
• 2006
Four-qubit bound entangled Smolin states are generalized with help of the Hilbert-Schmidt formalism to any even number of qubits. They are shown to maximally violate simple correlation Bell

### Multipartite positive-partial-transpose inequalities exponentially stronger than local reality inequalities

We show that positivity of every partial transpose of $N$-partite quantum states implies inequalities on Bell correlations which are stronger than standard Bell inequalities by a factor of

### Multipartite bound entangled states that violate Bell's inequality.

• W. Dür
• Physics
Physical review letters
• 2001
It is proved that there exist multipartite bound entangled states (i.e., nonseparable, nondistillable states) that violate a multipartsite Bell inequality, which implies that (i) violation of Bell's inequality is not a sufficient condition for distillability and (ii) some bound entangledStates cannot be described by a local hidden variable model.

### Mixed-State Entanglement and Distillation: Is there a “Bound” Entanglement in Nature?

• Physics
• 1998
It is shown that if a mixed state can be distilled to the singlet form it must violate partial transposition criterion [A. Peres, Phys. Rev. Lett. 76, 1413 (1996)]. It implies that there are two

### Separability and Distillability of Multiparticle Quantum Systems

• Mathematics
• 1999
We present a family of 3-qubit states to which any arbitrary state can be depolarized. We fully classify those states with respect to their separability and distillability properties. This provides a

• Popescu

For mixed states, correlations arising from a single ideal measurement on each system may obey standard Bell inequalities, yet when each system is subjected to a sequence of ideal measurements the correlations are nonlocal.

### All-multipartite Bell-correlation inequalities for two dichotomic observables per site

• Mathematics
• 2001
We construct a set of ${2}^{{2}^{n}}$ independent Bell-correlation inequalities for n-partite systems with two dichotomic observables each, which is complete in the sense that the inequalities are

### Inseparable Two Spin- 1 2 Density Matrices Can Be Distilled to a Singlet Form

• Physics
• 1997
A quantum system is called inseparable if its density matrix cannot be written as a mixture of product states. In this Letter we apply the separability criterion, local filtering, and Bennett et al.

### Violation of Bell Inequalities by Photons More Than 10 km Apart

• Physics
• 1998
A Franson-type test of Bell inequalities by photons 10.9 km apart is presented. Energy-time entangled photon pairs are measured using two-channel analyzers, leading to a violation of the inequalities
