Description

The Mermin-Klyshko inequality for n spin-(1/2) particles and two dichotomic observables is generalized to n spin-s particles and two maximal observables. It is shown that some multiparty multilevel Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. A 63, 022104 (2001)] maximally violate this inequality for any s. For a fixed n, the magnitude of the violation is constant for any s, which provides a simple demonstration and generalizes the conclusion reached by Gisin and Peres for two spin-s particles in the singlet state [Phys. Lett. A 162, 15 (1992)]. For a fixed s, the violation grows exponentially with n, which provides a generalization to any s of Mermin's conclusion for n spin- (1/2) particles [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1838 (1990)]
