Abstract

Bell inequalities are linear constraints on the set of output-probabilities of multi-player protocols that are satisfied by all classical (i.e., local realist) protocols, but that can be violated by quantum protocols using entanglement. This talk will survey the history and present state of knowledge regarding such inequalities, with a view to their application in (quantum) cryptography.
