All Bell inequalities with a quantum advantage in the minimal scenario are self-testing

Abstract

In the minimal Bell scenario, all extremal quantum correlations are known, but the Tsirelson inequalities that delimit the quantum set remain poorly understood. We study which correlations can maximize a given Tsirelson inequality, and conversely, which inequalities are maximized by a given correlation. We show that every Tsirelson inequality with quantum advantage is maximized by a single, extremal correlation, and thus self-tests the corresponding realization. This characterizes all self-tests based on linear Bell inequalities in this scenario. We also show that at most a two-dimensional family of inequalities can be maximized by a nonlocal extremal correlation. We identify these as polygons for a family of correlations realized by qubit states of arbitrary entanglement. This allows us to deduce that the quantum set is not self-dual.
