title: Quantum nonlocality and partial transposition for continuous-variable systems.
abstract: A continuous-variable Bell inequality, valid for an arbitrary number of observers measuring observables with an arbitrary number of outcomes, was recently introduced [Cavalcanti, Phys. Rev. Lett. 99, 210405 (2007)10.1103/PhysRevLett.99.210405]. We prove that any n-mode quantum state violating this inequality with quadrature measurements necessarily has a negative partial transposition. Our results thus establish the first link between nonlocality and bound entanglement for continuous-variable systems.
