Self-testing of any pure entangled state with minimal number of measurements and optimal randomness certification in one-sided device-independent scenario

Abstract

Certification of quantum systems and their properties has become a field of intensive studies. Here, taking advantage of the one-sided device-independent scenario (known also as quantum steering scenario), we propose a self-testing scheme for all bipartite entangled states using a single family of steering inequalities with the minimal number of two measurements per party. Building on this scheme we then show how to certify all rank-one extremal measurements, including non-projective $d^2$-outcome measurements, which in turn can be used for certification of the maximal amount of randomness from every entangled bipartite state of local dimension $d$, that is, $2\log_2d$ bits. Finally, in a particular case of $d=3$, we extend our self-testing results to the fully device-independent setting.
