A neural network oracle for quantum nonlocality problems in networks
share
Characterizing quantum nonlocality in networks is a challenging problem. A key point is to devise methods for deciding whether an observed probability distribution achievable via quantum resources could also be reproduced using classical resources. The task is challenging even for simple networks, both analytically and using standard numerical techniques. We propose to use neural networks as numerical tools to overcome these challenges, by learning the classical strategies required to reproduce a distribution. As such, the neural network acts as an oracle, demonstrating that a behavior is classical if it can be learned. We apply our method to several examples in the triangle configuration. After demonstrating that the method is consistent with previously known results, we show that the distribution presented in [N. Gisin, Entropy 21(3), 325 (2019)] is indeed nonlocal as conjectured. Furthermore the method allows us to get an estimate on its noise robustness.
