Strong nonlocal sets of UPB

The unextendible product bases (UPBs) are interesting members from the family of orthogonal product states. In this paper, we investigate the construction of 3-qubit UPB with strong nonlocality of different sizes. First, a UPB set in ${{C}^{3}}\otimes {{C}^{3}}\otimes {{C}^{3}}$ of size 12 is presented based on the Shifts UPB, the structure of which is described by mapping the system to a $3\times 3\times 3$ Rubik's Cube. After observing the orthogonal graph of each qubit, we provide a general method of constructing UPB in ${{C}^{d}}\otimes {{C}^{d}}\otimes {{C}^{d}}$ of size ${{\left( d-1 \right)}^{3}}+3\left( d-2 \right)+1$. Second, for the more general case where the dimensions of qubits are different, we extend the tile structure to 3-qubit system and propose a Tri-tile structure for 3-qubit UPB. Then, by means of this structure, a ${{C}^{4}}\otimes {{C}^{4}}\otimes {{C}^{5}}$ system of size 30 is obtained based on a ${{C}^{3}}\otimes {{C}^{3}}\otimes {{C}^{4}}$ system. Similarly, we generalize this approach to ${{C}^{{{d}_{1}}}}\otimes {{C}^{{{d}_{2}}}}\otimes {{C}^{{{d}_{3}}}}$ system which has a similar composition to ${{C}^{d}}\otimes {{C}^{d}}\otimes {{C}^{d}}$. Our research provides a positive answer to the open questions raised in [Halder, et al., PRL, 122, 040403 (2019)], indicating that there do exist multi-qubit UPBs that can exhibit strong quantum nonlocality without entanglement.

The construction of sets with strong quantum nonlocality using fewer states

In this paper, we investigate the construction of orthogonal product states with strong nonlocality in multiparty quantum systems. Firstly, we focus on the tripartite system and propose a general set of orthogonal product states exhibiting strong nonlocality in $d\otimes d\otimes d$ quantum system, which contains $6{{\left( d-1 \right)}^{2}}$ states. Secondly, we find that the number of the sets constructed in this way could be further reduced. Then using $4\otimes 4\otimes 4$ and $5\otimes 5\otimes 5$ quantum systems as examples, it can be seen that when d increases, the reduced quantum state is considerable. Thirdly, by imitating the construction method of the tripartite system, two 3-divisible four-party quantum systems are proposed, $3\otimes 3\otimes 3\otimes 3$ and $4\otimes 4\otimes 4\otimes 4$, both of which contains fewer states than the existing ones. Our research gives a positive answer to an open question raised in [Halder, et al., PRL, 122, 040403 (2019)], indicating that there do exist fewer quantum states that can exhibit strong quantum nonlocality without entanglement.
