- Title
- Is the $I3322$ quantum maximum reached in finite dimension?
- Plain
- $I3322$ is the simplest Bell test beyond the standard one, with three measurement choices per side. Numerics suggested that reaching its quantum maximum needs systems with infinitely many levels; two September 2026 preprints claim proofs that await independent checking.
- Precise
- For the Collins-Gisin $I3322$ Bell functional (two parties, three two-outcome measurements each), determine whether the supremum over tensor-product quantum strategies, approximately 0.25087538 (Pal and Vertesi, PRA 2010), is attained by any finite-dimensional strategy, and how the local dimension needed to come within $\epsilon$ of it grows. The residual task is verification of the 2026 claims: non-attainment in finite dimension, attainment by an infinite-dimensional strategy on l^2(Z) x l^2(Z), and required dimension of order $\operatorname{log}(1/\epsilon)$.
- Settled by
- Refereed or formally machine-checked confirmation of the non-attainment proofs, including their analytic parts.

- Status note
- Two independent preprints of August-September 2026 claim non-attainment in finite dimension (Douglas, arXiv:2609.05555; Krohn-Grimberghe, arXiv:2609.29693, computer-assisted, value bracketed to width 1e-55); neither is refereed.
