Abstract

One of the longstanding open problems in quantum nonlocality is to determine if maximally entangled states are complete for bipartite pseudo-telepathic games: namely, if every nonlocal game which admits a perfect entangled strategy admits such a strategy which uses a maximally entangled state. We exhibit a counterexample to this in the form of a bipartite nonlocal game with input sets of size 4 and 3 and output sets both of size 6. This game is part of a new class of nonlocal games, which we call inner product games, which could be of independent interest.
