Any physical theory of nature must be boundlessly multipartite nonlocal
Abstract
We introduce the class of genuinely local operations and shared randomness multipartite nonlocal correlations, that is, correlations between N parties that cannot be obtained from unlimited shared randomness supplemented by any composition of (N −1 ) -shared causal generalized probabilistic theory (GPT) resources. We then show that noisy N -partite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) quantum states as well as the three-partite W quantum state can produce such correlations. This proves, if the operational predictions of quantum theory are correct, that nature's nonlocality must be boundlessly multipartite in any causal GPT. We develop a computational method which certifies that a noisy N =3 GHZ quantum state with fidelity 85 % satisfies this property, making an experimental demonstration of our results within reach. We provide our definition and contrast it with preexisting notions of genuine multipartite nonlocality. This work extends a more compact parallel Letter [X. Coiteux-Roy et al., No Bipartite-Nonlocal Causal Theory Can Explain Nature's Correlations, Phys. Rev. Lett. 127, 200401 (2021), 10.1103/PhysRevLett.127.200401] on the same subject and provides all the required technical proofs.
