Large violation of Bell inequalities with low entanglement
In this paper we obtain violations of general bipartite Bell inequalities of
order with inputs, outputs and
-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Moreover, we construct explicitly, up to a
random choice of signs, all the elements involved in such violations: the
coefficients of the Bell inequalities, POVMs measurements and quantum states.
Analyzing this construction we find that, even though entanglement is necessary
to obtain violation of Bell inequalities, the Entropy of entanglement of the
underlying state is essentially irrelevant in obtaining large violation. We
also indicate why the maximally entangled state is a rather poor candidate in
producing large violations with arbitrary coefficients. However, we also show
that for Bell inequalities with positive coefficients (in particular, games)
the maximally entangled state achieves the largest violation up to a
logarithmic factor.Comment: Reference [16] added. Some typos correcte
Multiplicativity of completely bounded p-norms implies a new additivity result
We prove additivity of the minimal conditional entropy associated with a
quantum channel Phi, represented by a completely positive (CP),
trace-preserving map, when the infimum of S(gamma_{12}) - S(gamma_1) is
restricted to states of the form gamma_{12} = (I \ot Phi)(| psi >< psi |). We
show that this follows from multiplicativity of the completely bounded norm of
Phi considered as a map from L_1 -> L_p for L_p spaces defined by the Schatten
p-norm on matrices; we also give an independent proof based on entropy
inequalities. Several related multiplicativity results are discussed and
proved. In particular, we show that both the usual L_1 -> L_p norm of a CP map
and the corresponding completely bounded norm are achieved for positive
semi-definite matrices. Physical interpretations are considered, and a new
proof of strong subadditivity is presented.Comment: Final version for Commun. Math. Physics. Section 5.2 of previous

BMO spaces associated with semigroups of operators
We study BMO spaces associated with semigroup of operators and apply the
results to boundedness of Fourier multipliers. We prove a universal
interpolation theorem for BMO spaces and prove the boundedness of a class of
Fourier multipliers on noncommutative Lp spaces for all 1 < p < \infty, with
optimal constants in p.Comment: Math An
