Local Orthogonality provides better upper bound for Hardy's nonlocality

The amount of nonlocality in quantum theory is limited compared to that allowed in generalized no-signaling theory [Found. Phys. 24, 379 (1994)]. This feature, for example, gets manifested in the amount of Bell inequality violation as well as in the degree of success probability of Hardy's (Cabello's) nonlocality argument. Physical principles like information causality and macroscopic locality have been proposed for analyzing restricted nonlocality in quantum mechanics---viz. explaining the Cirel'son bound. However, these principles are not that much successful in explaining the maximum success probability of Hardy's as well as Cabello's argument in quantum theory. Here we show that, a newly proposed physical principle namely Local Orthogonality does better by providing a tighter upper bound on the success probability for Hardy's nonlocality. This bound is relatively closer to the corresponding quantum value compared to the bounds achieved from other principles.
