A Classification Program for Nonlocality Paradoxes of Three Qubits
Nonlocality is a quintessential signature of nonclassical behaviour and a resource for quantum advantages in communication and computation.The paradoxical correlations witnessed by strong nonlocality undergird the standard probabilistic form of nonlocality and provide optimal advantages in numerous informational tasks.Three-qubit systems are the simplest ones that admit strong nonlocality.Abramsky et al. (TQC, 2017) established the existence of an infinite family of three-qubit paradoxes, beyond the well-known GHZ paradox, which exhibited a novel conditional structure.In this work, we introduce several new infinite families of three-qubit paradoxes and articulate a detailed roadmap towards the complete classification of all three-qubit nonlocality paradoxes.In particular, we prove that our paradoxes exhaust all those satisfying reasonable regularity conditions.We give an example of a highly exotic paradox and place constraints on the search for new exotic paradoxes.We conjecture that all paradoxes must involve states from a one-parameter family and provide significant evidence in support of this conjecture.
