Monogamy of nonlocality from multipartite information causality

Abstract: The monogamy of nonlocality is one the most intriguing and cryptographically significant predictions of quantum theory. The physical principle of information causality offers a promising means to understand and restrict the extent of nonlocality without invoking the abstract mathematical formalism of quantum theory. In this article, we demonstrate that the original bipartite formulation of information causality cannot imply non-trivial monogamy relations, thereby refuting the previous claims. Nevertheless, we show that the recently proposed multipartite formulation of information causality implies stronger-than-no-signaling monogamy relations. We use these monogamy relations to enhance the security of device-independent quantum key distribution against a no-signaling eavesdropper constrained by information causality.
