We give experimental criteria for these three forms of nonlocality in multi-particle systems, with the aim of better understanding the transition from microscopic to macroscopic nonlocality. We examine the nonlocality of N separated spin J systems. First, we obtain multipartite Bell inequalities that address the correlation between spin values measured at each site, and then we review spin squeezing inequal- ities that address the degree of reduction in the variance of collective spins. The latter have been particularly useful as a tool for investigating entanglement in Bose Einstein eondensates (BEC). We present solutions for two topical quantum states: multi-qubit Greenberger-Horne Zeilinger (GHZ) states, and the ground state of a two-well BEC.展开更多
