The Prepare and Broadcast Scenario
Abstract
We introduce the dimension-restricted prepare and broadcast (PAB) scenario, which generalizes standard prepare-and-measure frameworks. Here, the system prepared by a sender undergoes a broadcasting transformation before being locally measured by multiple receivers. We develop a hierarchy of classical, quantum, and nonsignalling models describing this scenario, characterize their corresponding correlation sets, and derive new families of Bell-like inequalities together with linear and semidefinite programming methods for their certification. First, assuming shared randomness, we prove that the hierarchy collapses into a single set whenever we consider only one measurement per party. Then, considering multiple possible measurements, we show that PAB scenarios allow the activation of nonclassicality, revealing genuinely nonclassical features in resources that admit classical descriptions in standard prepare-and-measure or Bell settings.
