Projective Measurements Are Sufficient for Recycling Nonlocality.

Unsharp measurements are widely seen as the key resource for recycling the nonlocality of an entangled state shared between several sequential observers. Contrasting this, we here show that nonlocality can be recycled using only standard, projective, qubit measurements. Focusing on the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality and allowing parties to share classical randomness, we determine the optimal trade-off in the magnitude of Bell violations for a maximally entangled state. We then find that nonmaximally entangled states make possible larger sequential violations, which contrasts the standard Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt scenario. Furthermore, we show that nonlocality can be recycled using projective qubit measurements even when no shared classical randomness is available. We discuss the implications of our results for experimental implementations of sequential nonlocality.
