Experimental synchronization of independent entangled photon sources.
We report the generation of independent entangled photon pairs from two synchronized but mutually incoherent laser sources. The quality of synchronization is confirmed by observing a violation of Bell's inequality with 3.2 standard deviations in an entanglement swapping experiment. The techniques developed in our experiment are not only important for realistic linear optical quantum-information...
متن کاملWhat if antisocial personality is an illness?
The Model Penal Code l drafted by the American Law Institute in 1962 contains the following paragraph: "As used in this Article the terms 'mental disease or defect' do not include an abnormality manifested only by repeated criminal or otherwise antisocial conduct." This paragraph was meant to exclude the designation of antisocial personality as an illness. which could result in a plea of insani...
متن کاملWhat, if Anything, Is an Evolutionary Novelty?
The idea of phenotypic novelty appears throughout the evolutionary literature. Novelties have been defined so broadly as to make the term meaningless and so narrowly as to apply only to a limited number of spectacular structures. Here I examine some of the available definitions of phenotypic novelty and argue that the modern synthesis is ill equipped at explaining novelties. I then discuss thre...
متن کاملIf Physics Is an Information Science, What Is an Observer?
Interpretations of quantum theory have traditionally assumed a “Galilean” observer, a bare “point of view” implemented physically by a quantum system. This paper investigates the consequences of replacing such an informationally-impoverished observer with an observer that satisfies the requirements of classical automata theory, i.e., an observer that encodes sufficient prior information to iden...
متن کاملSignificant-Loophole-Free Test of Bell's Theorem with Entangled Photons.
Local realism is the worldview in which physical properties of objects exist independently of measurement and where physical influences cannot travel faster than the speed of light. Bell's theorem states that this worldview is incompatible with the predictions of quantum mechanics, as is expressed in Bell's inequalities. Previous experiments convincingly supported the quantum predictions. Yet, ...
