| contents | Quantum nonlocality in networks featuring multiple independent sources underpins large-scale quantum communication and poses fundamental challenges for its characterization. In this work, we construct a family of explicit nonlinear Bell inequalities to verify the nonlocality across the general multi-input quantum networks. The construction of these inequalities relies on the number of leaf nodes, a network parameter that can be identified by a linear-time algorithm. Our approach establishes a structural connection between bipartite full-correlation Bell inequalities and network Bell inequalities, enabling the analytical derivation of optimal quantum violations and the conditions under which they occur. We further quantify the upper bound on maximal violations achievable by arbitrary two-qubit mixed states in such networks, under separable measurements, and evaluate the noise robustness of the proposed inequalities via the visibilities of Werner states. Finally, we demonstrate that these inequalities can, in a device-independent manner, distinguish between network topologies of equal size that differ in the number of leaf nodes. |
