Abstract
Quantum Bell nonlocality is an important quantum phenomenon. Recently, the shareability of Bell nonlocality under unilateral measurements has been widely studied. In this study, we consider the shareability of quantum Bell nonlocality under bilateral measurements. Under a specific class of projection operators, we find that quantum Bell nonlocality cannot be shared for a limited number of times, as in the case of unilateral measurements. Our proof is analytical, and our measurement strategies can be generalized to higher-dimensional cases.

Proof of Lemma 2
By straightforward calculation, we have
and
Set \(P={\cos (\theta )}\sigma _3+{\sin (\theta )}\sigma _1\) and \(Q={\cos (\theta )}\sigma _3-{\sin (\theta )}\sigma _1\). \(\rho _{A^{2}B^{2}}\) can be expressed as
where \(\rho _{A^{1}B^{1}}=|\varphi \rangle \langle \varphi |\).
Therefore,
Since \(2\cos ^3(\theta )\le 2\), \(-2\cos ^3(\theta )\le 2\), \((1+{\sqrt{1-\gamma _1^2}})\le 2\) and \((1+{\sqrt{1-\gamma _1^2}})\le 2\), where \( 0<\gamma _1<1, 0<\theta \le {\frac{\pi }{4}}\), and \(\sum _{i=1}^dc_i^2=1\) we have \(Tr[\rho _{A^{2}B^{2}}((A_0+A_1){\otimes }B_0)]\le 2.\)
Similarly, we have
