Abstract In any experimental setting, quantum physics provides the statistical distributions that the observed outcomes are expected to follow. The set formed by all these distributions contains the imprint of quantum theory and captures some of its core properties. So far, only partial explicit descriptions of this set have been found for Bell-type settings in which entangled states can be shared and measured by independent observers.

It is well known that the set of statistics that can be observed in a Bell-type experiment is limited by quantum theory. Unfortunately, tools are missing to identify the precise boundary of this set. Here, we propose to study the set of quantum statistics from a dual perspective. By considering all Bell expressions saturated by a given realization, we show that the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt expression can be decomposed in terms of extremal Tsirelson inequalities that we identify.
