Abstract

Deriving the form of the optimal solution of a maximum entropy problem, we obtain an infinite family of linear inequalities characterizing the polytope of spin correlation matrices. For n ≤6, the facet description of such a polytope is provided through a minimal system of Bell-type inequalities.
