Understanding the quantitative relation between entanglement and Bell nonlocality is a long-standing open problem of fundamental and practical interest. Here, we tackle this problem in a general Bell scenario. We observe that lying in the center of quantifying these properties are two minimal distances: one from a state to separable states (entanglement), and the other from a correlation to local correlations (nonlocality). We find that these two distances can be related to each other—the minimal correlation distance provides a lower bound for the minimal state distance, which allows us to derive nontrivial bounds on many entanglement measures with an arbitrary nonlocal correlation. Moreover, with the on-hand structural knowledge of entanglement and nonlocality in the (n, 2, 2) Bell scenario, we refine our estimate significantly.
