The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Steering and Its Certification

Entropy (Basel). 2019 Apr 20;21(4):422. doi: 10.3390/e21040422.

Abstract

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is a subtle intermediate correlation between entanglement and Bell nonlocality. It not only theoretically completes the whole picture of non-local effects but also practically inspires novel quantum protocols in specific scenarios. However, a verification of EPR steering is still challenging due to difficulties in bounding unsteerable correlations. In this survey, the basic framework to study the bipartite EPR steering is discussed, and general techniques to certify EPR steering correlations are reviewed.

Keywords: EPR steering; entanglement; non-locality; quantum correlation; uncertainty relations.
