Three Qubit GHZ Correlations and Generalized Bell Experiments

Abstract

We present a brief historical introduction to the topic of Bell's theorem. Next we present the surprising features of the three-particle Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states. Finally we shall present a method of analysis of the GHZ correlations, which is based on a numerical approach, which is effectively equivalent to the full set of Bell inequalities for correlation functions for the given problem. The aim of our numerical approach is to answer the following question: Do additional possible local settings lead for the GHZ states to more pronounced violation of local realism (measured by the resistance of the quantum nature of the correlations with respect to "white" noise admixtures)?
