Experimental Demonstration of Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger Correlations Using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance

Richard J. Nelson, David G. Cory, Seth Lloyd

abstract: The Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) effect provides an example of quantum correlations that cannot be explained by classical local hidden variables. This paper reports on the experimental realization of GHZ correlations using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The NMR experiment differs from the originally proposed GHZ experiment in several ways: it is performed on mixed states rather than pure states; and instead of being widely separated, the spins on which it is performed are all located in the same molecule. As a result, the NMR version of the GHZ experiment cannot entirely rule out classical local hidden variables. It nonetheless provides an unambiguous demonstration of the "paradoxical" GHZ correlations, and shows that any classical hidden variables must communicate by non-standard and previously undetected forces. The NMR demonstration of GHZ correlations shows the power of NMR quantum information processing techniques for demonstrating fundamental effects in quantum mechanics.
