Qualitative equivalence between incompatibility and Bell nonlocality

Abstract

Measurements in quantum theory can fail to be jointly measurable. Like entanglement, this incompatibility of measurements is necessary but not sufficient for violating Bell inequalities. The (in)compatibility relations among a set of measurements can be represented by a joint measurability structure, i.e., a hypergraph whose vertices denote measurements and hyperedges denote all and only compatible sets of measurements. Since incompatibility is necessary for a Bell violation, the joint measurability structure on each wing of a Bell experiment must necessarily be nontrivial, i.e., it must admit a subset of incompatible vertices. Here we show that, for any nontrivial joint measurability structure with a finite set of vertices, there exists a quantum realization with a set of measurements that enables a Bell violation, i.e., given that Alice has access to this incompatible set of measurements, there exists a set of measurements for Bob and an entangled state shared between them such that they can jointly violate a Bell inequality. Hence, a nontrivial joint measurability structure is not only necessary for a Bell violation, but also sufficient.
