While all bipartite pure entangled states violate some Bell inequality, the relationship between entanglement and non-locality for mixed quantum states is not well understood. We introduce a simple and efficient algorithmic approach for the problem of constructing local hidden variable theories for quantum states. The method is based on constructing a so-called symmetric quasi-extension of the quantum state that gives rise to a local hidden variable model with a certain number of settings for the observers Alice and Bob. | | Categories. quant-ph | | Comment. 8 pages Revtex; v2 contains substantial changes, a strengthened main theorem and more references | | Journal-ref.
