Comparing Singlet Testing Schemes

Abstract

We compare schemes for testing whether two parties share a two-qubit singlet state. The first, standard, scheme tests Braunstein-Caves (or CHSH) inequalities, comparing the correlations of local measurements drawn from a fixed finite set against the quantum predictions for a singlet. The second, alternative, scheme tests the correlations of local measurements, drawn randomly from the set of those that are θ-separated on the Bloch sphere, against the quantum predictions. We formulate each scheme as a hypothesis test and then evaluate the test power in a number of adversarial scenarios involving an eavesdropper altering or replacing the singlet qubits. We find the `random measurement' test to be superior in most natural scenarios.
