Abstract
Quantum mechanics is a highly nonlocal theory of nature. Quantum systems exhibit correlations which cannot be described by any classical theory of locality. We develop the resource theory of dynamical Bell nonlocality, which includes bipartite states, classical channels, quantum channels and measurements. In the state scenario, all separable states are Bell local. However, there exist mixed bipartite entangled states which also admit Bell local behaviour. To address this anomaly, we introduce the notion of fully Bell locality and show that all entangled states are Bell nonlocal, in the sense that they can be used to simulate at least one nonlocal bipartite Positive Operator Valued Measure (POVM) channel. We take a step further and generalise this result to bipartite entangled quantum channels. We then generalize the CHSH inequality from bipartite classical channels to bipartite POVM channels and devise a technique to check if a given bipartite POVM channel is nonlocal or not. Finally we provide a systematic method to quantify Bell nonlocality of bipartite quantum channels by extending any monotone for Bell nonlocality of classical channels to quantum channels and also introduce the precise definition of relative entropy of Bell nonlocality. We leave some open problems in the way.
