What is the significance of nonlocality super-activation in this paper?

In summary, Nonlocality Super-activation is a phenomenon in which entangled particles can exhibit stronger correlations than unentangled particles, even when separated by a large distance. This is due to the nonlocal nature of quantum entanglement, where the state of one particle can instantly affect the state of the other. It involves entangled particles in a specific quantum state, known as a Bell state, and has potential applications in quantum communication and computing. Challenges in studying Nonlocality Super-activation include designing reliable experiments, and its implications for our understanding of quantum physics challenge classical principles and raise questions about the fundamentals of quantum mechanics.

Thought this was an interesting paper that people might not know of:
https://arxiv.org/abs/1205.3118
It constructs a state ##\rho## whose correlations have a local hidden variable model, but those of ##\rho \otimes \rho## do not.

What does he mean by super activation, shouldn't he put it in quotes. When I google I get fish tank filter:smile:

What is nonlocality super-activation?

Nonlocality super-activation is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where entanglement between two systems can be increased beyond what is possible for individual systems alone.

How does nonlocality super-activation work?

Nonlocality super-activation occurs when two entangled systems are combined in a way that allows them to share more information than they could individually. This is possible due to the nonlocal nature of entanglement, where the state of one system can affect the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them.

What are the applications of nonlocality super-activation?

Nonlocality super-activation has potential applications in quantum communication and cryptography, as well as in quantum computing and information processing. It could also have implications for understanding the fundamental nature of reality in quantum mechanics.

What are some examples of nonlocality super-activation?

One example of nonlocality super-activation is the EPR paradox, where two entangled particles can exhibit correlated behavior even when separated by large distances. Another example is the violation of Bell's inequalities, which demonstrate the nonlocal nature of entanglement.

What are the challenges in studying nonlocality super-activation?

One of the main challenges in studying nonlocality super-activation is the difficulty in creating and maintaining entangled systems, as well as measuring and controlling their states. Another challenge is understanding the underlying mechanisms and implications of nonlocality in quantum systems.
