Abstract
Understanding the nonlocality of multipartite quantum systems provides valuable insights into their behaviors and potential applications. In this Letter, assuming a quantum network inflated with multiple copies of genuine multipartite entangled states, we propose a novel noise-robust approach to test the genuine multipartite nonlocality inherent in each copy under Svetlichny’s biseparable model. This extends Gisin’s theorem to an arbitrary number of parties, establishing the equivalence among genuine multipartite nonlocality, genuine multipartite steering, and genuine multipartite entanglement for all multipartite pure states under the multiple copies assumption. In the experiment, we employ a hybrid photonic quantum network to verify the genuine tripartite nonlocality of generalized Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger and W states beyond previously explored parameter regimes. This Letter not only offers a unified robust method on exploring multipartite quantum correlations, but also opens a new avenue for studying genuine multipartite nonlocality through network-distributed multicopy quantum states and different network topologies.
