Sharing of nonlocality of a single member of an entangled pair of qubits is not possible by more than two unbiased observers on the other wing

Abstract

We address the recently posed question as to whether the nonlocality of a single member of an entangled pair of spin 1/2 particles can be shared among multiple observers on the other wing who act sequentially and independently of each other. We first show that the optimality condition for the trade-off between information gain and disturbance in the context of weak or non-ideal measurements emerges naturally when one employs a one-parameter class of positive operator valued measures (POVMs). Using this formalism we then prove analytically that it is impossible to obtain violation of the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality by more than two Bobs in one of the two wings using unbiased input settings with an Alice in the other wing.
