Abstract
Adopting an approach similar to that of Zukowski [Phys. Rev. A 62, 032101 (2000)], we investigate connections between teleportation and nonlocality. We derive a Bell-type inequality pertaining to the teleportation scenario and show that it is violated in the case of teleportation using a perfect singlet. We also investigate teleportation using “Werner states” of the form where is the projector corresponding to a singlet state and is the identity. We find that our inequality is violated, implying nonlocality, if In addition, we extend Werner’s local hidden variable model to simulation of teleportation with the Werner state. Thus teleportation using this state does not involve nonlocality even though the fidelity achieved is which is greater than the “classical limit” of Finally, we comment on a result of Gisin’s and offer some philosophical remarks on teleportation and nonlocality generally.
