Abstract

We propose a scheme to test Bell's inequalities for an arbitrary number of measurement outcomes on entangled continuous-variable (CV) states. The Bell correlation functions are expressible in terms of phase-space quasiprobability functions with complex ordering parameters, which can experimentally be determined via a local CV-qubit interaction. We demonstrate that CV systems can give higher violations of these Bell's inequalities than of the ones developed for two-outcome observables.
