Abstract

Quantum nonlocality and its asymmetric counterpart, quantum steering, are among the most intriguing manifestations of quantum mechanics. From a theoretical perspective, they are not only of fundamental significance but also hold promise for a wide range of applications. However, the stringent technological requirements for their experimental observation in a loophole-free way have largely restricted their realization to foundational demonstrations. A major challenge in these setups is the limited detection efficiency of current detectors as to observe nonlocality or steering in the standard scenarios, one requires detectors above a certain critical efficiency which can only be achieved with superconducting detectors. Considering the simplest quantum network, we demonstrate here that quantum steering between two parties, can be demonstrated for any non-zero detection efficiency, if the sources in the network generate states above a critical visibility well-within the current practical limits. This form of quantum steering in networks, is termed swap-steering. Moreover, when the sources are perfect, swap-steering can be observed using any entangled measurement on the untrusted side, even with arbitrarily low detection efficiency. Consequently, two major loopholes, the detection-loophole as well as free-will loophole can be closed easily in quantum steering experiments, when implemented using networks.
