#1 No-cloning and no-signaling

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0375960198001704
https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/9801005

Context:
 Foundational insights from no-signaling (Chapter 9)

The tutorial should introduce the necessary concepts and lead to the derivation
of the no-signaling bound for cloning.

Optionally, you may want to define also the Buzek-Hillery cloner, and check that
it is indeed unitary and reaches the same fidelity (you find information in the
review https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0511088)

#2 DI Randomness with weak cross-talk

https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.110.100504
https://arxiv.org/abs/1211.5921

Context
 Randomness (Chapter 8)
 Relaxation of measurement independence (11.3, 11.4)

The tutorial aims at deriving eq. (5), after introducing the necessary notions.
 Introducing the notions
o Don’t try to be “general first”: present only what is needed to be
able to compute (5) and appreciate its meaning.
o Consider helping the student discover some of the notions, with
items like “Explain why [this mathematical formulation] captures
the idea well” or similar.
 Calculation: guide the student through the steps.

#3 How to address the “memory loophole”

https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.66.042111
https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0205016

Context:
 Loopholes (Section 1.4)
 Finite-size, beyond iid (Section 2.6)

The tutorial should explain clearly the method presented in the article to deal
with non-iid statistics.

#4 Playing with PR-boxes

https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.71.022101
https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0404097

Context:
 Multipartite nonlocality (Chapter 5)
 No-signaling resources (Chapter 9)

The tutorial should aim at constructing multipartite boxes starting from PR-
boxes.
 Three examples are given in Section III of the reference: the X(Y+Z),
Svetlichny and XYZ boxes.
 You can just opt for presenting those three constructions, but feel free to
be creative. For instance, you can choose to:
o Focus on one multipartite box and explore many of its properties
in detail
o See what happens if perfect PR-boxes are replaced by imperfect
ones
o Invent some four- or more-partite constructions.

#5 Limits for nonlocal computation

https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.180502
https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0610097

Context:
 No-signaling (Chapter 9)
 Physical principles for quantum theory (Chapter 10)

The tutorial consists in presenting the nonlocal computation of AND, being able
to derive the three probabilities given in the unnumbered equation after (20).
 The proof that classical and quantum are the same must be part of the
tutorial, but it’s up to you how to present it:
o By presenting the very general proof as in the paper.
o By rephrasing the general proof to the specific case of AND, and/or
for two bits of input instead of two strings of n bits.
o By computing both probabilities separately (if you find ways) and
just noticing that they are equal.

#6 Svetlichny inequalities for more than three parties

https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.88.170405
https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0201058

Context:
 Genuine multipartite nonlocality (Section 5.3)

The aim of the tutorial is to derive equation (14) of the reference, after having
introduced the necessary notions.
 The derivation for n=3 is given in the lecture notes, you can base yourself
on that.
 The first half of this paper may be useful for notations:

#7 Beyond Svetlichny: introducing directional communication

https://journals.aps.org/pra/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevA.71.042329
https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0407018

Context
 Genuine multipartite nonlocality (Section 5.3)

The goal of the tutorial is to prove that Svetlichny’s inequality for three parties is
satisfied also in some more general scenarios.
 I strongly suggest presenting the simplest case: Alice can communicate to
both Bob and Charlie, but Bob and Charlie cannot communicate to
anyone. For some reason, this scenario is not explicitly presented in the
reference, which focuses on four-partite cases. But it should be possible to
derive it rather simply.

#8 Randomness versus violation of Bell or versus entanglement

https://journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevLett.108.100402
https://arxiv.org/abs/1107.2754

Context
 Device-independent randomness certification (Chapter 8)

The tutorial should present only one of the three results presented in the paper,
at your choice:
1. 2 bits of total randomness with arbitrarily low violation of CHSH (because
one can have such a situation with a maximally entangled state)
2. 1 bit of local randomness with any pure non-maximally entangled state
3. Almost 2 bits of total randomness with any pure non-maximally
entangled state

The reduction to qubits, based on Jordan’s lemma, may be skipped by making

reference to this lemma in the lecture notes (Appendix G.2).

#9 Description of a loophole-free Bell test (I)

https://www.nature.com/articles/nature15759
https://arxiv.org/abs/1508.05949

Context
 Loopholes (Section 1.4)
 Description of experiments (Appendix B)

This tutorial should present the theoretical description of the Delft experiment.
The description of the state and the measurements may go beyond the ideal case,
in order to reproduce some of the imperfections observed in the data. The more
detailed analysis of https://arxiv.org/abs/1603.05705 may help.

Context
 Loopholes (Section 1.4)
 Description of experiments (Appendix B)

This tutorial should present the theoretical description of the experiments that
used direct photon detection (Vienna and NIST). The description of the state and
the measurements may go beyond the ideal case, in order to reproduce some of
the imperfections observed in the data. The Supplementary Material of either
paper may be useful.

#11 Monogamy of CHSH

https://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0611001 (this important paper has never been

submitted to a journal, for a reason that I ignore; so we cite its arXiv version).

Context
 CHSH in quantum theory (Chapter 3)
 Multipartite nonlocality (Chapter 5)

The tutorial should present the derivation of Theorem 1. Notice that the paper
spends some time deriving Jordan’s lemma, for which you can refer to Appendix
G.2 of the lecture notes.

#12 Disproof of the Peres’ conjecture

https://www.nature.com/articles/ncomms6297
https://arxiv.org/abs/1405.4502

Context
 Nonlocality of mixed states (Chapter 3)

The tutorial should lead through the three verifications:

1. The state is bound entangled
2. The inequality is indeed a Bell inequality
3. There exist measurements on the state that produce a behavior that
violate the inequality.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.00969

Context
 CHSH in quantum theory (Chapter 3)
 Macroscopic locality (Section 10.3)

The tutorial should go through section II.A and II.C of the reference.

https://arxiv.org/abs/1611.02430

Context
 CHSH in quantum theory (Chapter 3)
 Experimental implementations (Appendix B)

The theoretical paper is rather abstract: the suggestion is to base the tutorial on
the specific example studied in the experimental paper.
It is up to you whether you find convenient to go in the details of the optical
implementation: on the one hand, it is not necessary; on the other hand, the
notion of weak measurement being rather abstract, it may help to describe the
concrete example.

#13 Bell inequalities for many-body systems

http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1751-8113/47/42/424024/meta
https://arxiv.org/abs/1312.0265

Context
 Multipartite nonlocality (Chapter 5)

The theory of Bell inequalities for many-body systems has been studied in great
mathematical detail by the authors of this paper, from the pioneering paper in
Science (https://arxiv.org/abs/1306.6860) to the very detailed work
https://arxiv.org/abs/1505.06740. All this goes far beyond what I can ask for
such a tutorial.

The tutorial should focus on describing just one inequality given in the main
reference: inequality number 6 of Table I. It can be structured as follows:
1. Introduce the notation
2. Prove that the local bound is 9 (optional: if easy, prove also that the no-
signaling bound is 13).
3. Prove the violation with the W state (which is not the highest one, but is
probably less messy to compute explicitly).

The tutorial should include a quick introduction to homodyne measurement in

quantum optics.
