This study generalizes the EPR steering phenomenon to three parties, finding a cyclic property of tripartite EPR steering, and identifies a three-qubit state with this property.
Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering is a form of quantum correlation that exhibits a fundamental asymmetry in the properties of quantum systems. Given two observers, Alice and Bob, there are known to exist bipartite entangled states which are one-way steerable in the sense that Alice can steer Bob's state, but Bob cannot steer Alice's state. Here, we generalize this phenomenon to three parties and find a cyclic property of tripartite EPR steering. In particular, we identify a three-qubit state whose reduced bipartite states are one-way steerable for arbitrary projective measurements. Moreover, the three-qubit state has a cyclic steering property in the sense that by arranging the system in a triangular configuration the neighboring parties can steer each other's states only in the same (e.g., clockwise) direction. That is, Alice can steer Bob's state, Bob can steer Charlie's state, and Charlie can steer Alice's state, but not the other way around.
