Geometry of the quantum set on no-signaling faces

2019 
Since Bell's theorem we know that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden-variable models, the phenomenon known as quantum nonlocality. However, despite steady progress over the years, precise characterization of the set of quantum correlations remained elusive. There are correlations compatible with the no-signaling principle and still beyond what can be achieved within quantum theory, which has motivated the search for physical principles and computational methods to decide the quantum or postquantum behavior of correlations. Here, we identify a feature of Bell correlations that we call quantum voids: faces of the no-signaling set where all nonlocal correlations are postquantum. Considering the simplest possible Bell scenario, we give a full characterization of quantum voids, also understanding its connections to known principles and its potential use as a dimension witness.
