10. Indeed, one can always see a measurement as consisting of two steps: (i) projection on a basis, and (ii) attribution of a numerical value for the outcome associated to each element of the basis. This numerical value is purely a label: any choice is valid, provided it does not erase information, as it would be the case if the same value would be associated to more than one outcome. For instance, one can choose RA = { 1,2,..., dA } and RB = { 1,2,..., dB }.
11. Note also that, if ρ is pure, PL and PNL cannot be obtained from the measurement of a quantum state with the same dimensionality, otherwise one would be able to decompose a pure state as a convex combination of other states.

25. In the multipartite case, pL max (ρ) =0 holds for all states that exhibit a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type of nonlocality. There are examples of such states that are not maximally entangled and actually mixed [V. Scarani, A. Acín, E. Schenck, and M. Aspelmeyer, Phys. Rev. A PLRAAN 1050-2947 10.1103/PhysRevA.71.042325 71, 042325 (2005)]. Note that, for a N -partite state, pL max (ρ) =0 does not necessarily imply genuine N -party nonlocality.

30. Note that the band defined by | az |, | bz | ≤ 1-s c becomes narrower when approaching the maximally entangled state. From this perspective, the decomposition we have just found behaves in a discontinuous way: (i) for the maximally entangled state, PNL = PQ has random marginals and correlations defined by a scalar product; and (ii) for highly but nonmaximally entangled states (θ= π 4 -ε), such a simple form is, however, retained only for a narrow band of settings; the band increases when going to weakly entangled states, filling ultimately again the whole sphere for θ=0, in which case, however, the weight of PNL is zero.

36. For the whole region 0<γ<1, the upper bound 6 obtained using the chained inequality gives a strictly positive number [S. Pironio (private communication)].
37. It is an interesting open question, whether pL max (ρ) <1 implies the possibility of checking nonlocality with a finite number of settings.
