We prove that the family of embezzlement states defined by van Dam and Hayden [vanDamHayden2002] is universal for both quantum and classical entangled two-prover non-local games with an arbitrary number of rounds.
- More precisely, we show that for each $\epsilon>0$ and each strategy for a k-round two-prover non-local game which uses a bipartite shared state on 2m qubits and makes the provers win with probability $\omega$, there exists a strategy for the same game which uses an embezzlement state on $2m + 2m/\epsilon$ qubits and makes the provers win with probability $\omega-\sqrt{2\epsilon}$.
- Since the value of a game can be defined as the limit of the value of a maximal 2m-qubit strategy as m goes to infinity, our result implies that the classes QMIP*_{c,s}[2,k] and MIP*_{c,s}[2,k] remain invariant if we allow the provers to share only embezzlement states, for any completeness value c in [0,1] and any soundness value s < c.
- Finally we notice that the circuits applied by each prover may be put into a very simple universal form.
