Exposure of subtle multipartite quantum nonlocality

Abstract The celebrated Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen quantum steering has a complex structure in the multipartite scenario. We show that a naively defined criterion for multipartite steering allows, like in Bell nonlocality, for a contradictory effect whereby local operations could create steering seemin...
