Experimental demonstration of full network nonlocality in the bilocal scenario

Quantum correlation between nodes in a network which consist of several independent sources of entanglement and in multipartite entanglement systems are important for general understanding of the nature of nonlocality, quantum information processing and communication. In previous years, demonstrations of network nonlocality for bilocal scenarios have been in the focus. Yet, it has been found that the seminal protocols do not certify entanglement between end nodes, which otherwise require all sources in the network to be of nonlocal nature. This has motivated for development of even stronger concept, called full network nonlocality. Here, we experimentally demonstrate full network nonlocal correlations in a network. Specifically, we use two pairs of polarization entangled qubits created by two separate and independent entanglement sources and a partial Bell state measurement. Our results may pave the way for the use of nonlocality test in quantum communication protocols with a full network nonlocality certification.
