Abstract

Multiple copies of weak non-local systems can be used to amplify the strength of non-locality through distillation protocols. Høyer and Rashid showed that the Parity protocol is the optimal Non-Adaptive protocol for correlations with trivial marginals (Høyer and Rashid 2009). Our investigation has revealed that there exist cases with non-trivial marginals for which the OR protocol performs better than Parity. We have used symbolic analysis along with exhaustive search over different cross-sections to characterize the parameters and identification of optimal protocols over those regions. Additionally, it was observed that the OR protocol performed better than recently proposed OR-AND Non-Adaptive protocol (Naik et al. 2022) and the ABL+1 Adaptive protocol (Eftaxias, Weilenmann, and Colbeck 2022) in a restricted parameter space.
