Two reduced states of one three-qutrit state both violate the CGLMP inequality
Abstract
Kumari, Ghose and Mann (arXiv:1704.06516, Phys. Rev. A 96, 012128) conjecture, from numerical studies, that the CGLMP inequality is monogamous for qutrits: for every three-qutrit state at most one of the reduced states rho_AB, rho_BC, rho_AC has B_CGLMP > 2, where B_CGLMP maximizes the CGLMP expression I_3 over their Fourier-phase family of measurements. It fails: for v = |002> + |011> + 2|020> + |100> + 2|112> - |121> + 2|210> + 2|222> and rho = v v^dagger / 20, both rho_AB and rho_AC reach I_3 = 1/2 + 14 sqrt 3 / 15 > 2.

Commentary.
Each joint probability of a reduced state of v v^dagger / 20 is one twentieth of a sum of squared amplitudes, which are sums of twelfth roots of unity divided by 3. With angles in units of pi/6, phi_1 = (0, 2, 7), phi_2 = (0, 2, 1), phi’_1 = (0, 8, 4), phi’_2 = (0, 10, 2) on rho_AB and phi_1 = (0, 6, 9), phi_2 = (0, 6, 3), phi’_1 = (0, 10, 2), phi’_2 = (0, 0, 6) on rho_AC give, in the order of Eq. (CGLMP1), the event probabilities 23/60 + sqrt 3/5, 23/60 + sqrt 3/5, 1/2, 1/2, 23/60 - sqrt 3/5, 23/60 - sqrt 3/5, 1/4 - sqrt 3/15, 1/4 - sqrt 3/15, so I_3 = 1/2 + 14 sqrt 3/15 > 2 for both. For every two-qutrit matrix, I_3 is continuous in the angles and unchanged when an angle moves by 2 pi, so it attains its maximum on the compact box [0, 2 pi]^24; each maximum of rho_AB and rho_AC is therefore at least the stated value. The state is positive semidefinite with trace one.
