Conditional steering under von-Neumann scenario

Abstract: In [\href{http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/037596019290711T}{Phys. Lett. A {\bf 166}, 293 (1992)}] Popescu characterized nonlocality of pure $n$-partite entangled systems by studying bipartite violation of local realism when $n-2$ number of parties perform projective measurements on their particles. A pertinent question in this scenario is whether similar characterization is possible for $n$-partite mixed entangled states also. In the present work we have followed an analogous approach so as to explore whether given a tripartite mixed entangled state the conditional bipartite states obtained by performing projective measurement on the third party, demonstrate a weaker form of nonlocality, quantum steering. We also compare this new phenomenon of conditional steering with existing notions of tripartite correlations. Interestingly the tripartite state need not be genuinely entangled to demonstrate conditional steering.
