Abstract
Nonclassical correlations are a fundamental resource for applications involving multipartite systems. To assess nonclassicality, several different criteria can be applied to measured data. Here we compare three inequalities by applying them to a multi-mode twin-beam state, in which one of the two parties is transmitted through a varying lossy channel. We demonstrate, both theoretically and experimentally, that the asymmetry introduced by losses affects the three criteria in different ways, thus offering a tool for quantum optics applications.
