Almost device-independent certification of GME states with minimal measurements
Device-independent certification of quantum states allows the characterization of quantum states present inside a device by making minimal physical assumptions. A major problem in this regard is to certify quantum states using minimal resources. In this work, we consider the multipartite quantum steering scenario with an arbitrary number of parties but only one of which is trusted in the sense that the measurements performed by the trusted party are known. Consequently, the self-testing scheme is almost device-independent. Importantly, all the parties can only perform two measurements each which is the minimal number of measurements required to observe any form of quantum nonlocality. Then, we propose steering inequalities that are maximally violated by three major classes of genuinely multipartite entangled (GME) states, one, graph states of arbitrary local dimension, two, Schmidt states of arbitrary local dimension, and, three, -qubit generalized W states. Using the proposed inequalities, we then provide an almost device-independent certification of the above GME states.
