Title: Optimality of semiquantum nonlocality in the presence of high inconclusive rates

Abstract

Quantum nonlocality is a counterintuitive phenomenon that lies beyond the purview of causal influences. Recently, Bell inequalities have been generalized to the case of quantum inputs, leading to a powerful family of semiquantum Bell inequalities that are capable of detecting any entangled state. We focus on a different problem and investigate how the local indistinguishability of quantum inputs and postselection may affect the requirements to detect semiquantum nonlocality. Moreover, we consider a semiquantum nonlocal game based on locally indistinguishable qubit inputs, and derive its postselected local and quantum bounds by using a connection to the local distinguishability of quantum states. Interestingly, we find that the postselected local bound is independent of the measurement efficiency, and the achievable postselected Bell violation increases with decreasing measurement efficiency.
