Minimal Assumption Derivation of a weak Clauser-Horne Inequality

چکیده
According to Bell’s theorem a large class of hidden-variable models obeying Bell’s notion of local causality conflict with the predictions of quantum mechanics. Recently, a Bell-type theorem has been proven using a weaker notion of local causality, yet assuming the existence of perfectly correlated event types. Here we present a similar Bell-type theorem without this latter assumption. The derived inequality differs from the Clauser-Horne inequality by some small correction terms, which render it less constraining.

A Bell inequality which can be used to test locality more simply than Clauser - Horne inequality and which is violated by a larger magnitude of violation than Clauser - Horne - Shimony - Holt inequality
A Bell inequality which can be used to test locality more simply than Clauser-Horne inequality and which is violated by a larger magnitude of violation than Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality Abstract A correlation inequality is derived from local realism and a supplementary assumption. Unlike Clauser-Horne (CH) inequality [or Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality] which is violated b...
متن کاملDoes Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Correlation or Freedman-Clauser Correlation lead to the largest violation of Bell’s Inequality?
An inequality is deduced from Einstein’s locality and a supplementary assumption. This inequality defines an experiment which can actually be performed with present technology to test local realism. Quantum mechanics violate this inequality a factor of 1.5. In contrast, quantum mechanics violates previous inequalities (for example, Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality of 1969, Freedman-Clauser...
متن کاملMaximal violation of Bell’s inequality and atomic cascade photons
A correlation inequality is derived from local realism and a supplementary assumption. This inequality is violated by a factor of 1.5 in the case of real experiments, whereas previous inequalities such as Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality of 1969 and Clauser-Horne inequality of 1974 are violated by a factor of √ 2. Thus the magnitude of violation of this inequality is approximately 20.7% la...
متن کاملMaximal violation of Bell’s inequality in the case of real experiments
Einstein’s locality is invoked to derive a correlation inequality. In the case of ideal experiments, this inequality is equivalent to Bell’s original inequality of 1965 which, as is well known, is violated by a maximum factor of 1.5. The crucial point is that even in the case of real experiments where polarizers and detectors are non-ideal, the present inequality is violated by a factor of 1.5,...
متن کاملBell’s theorem, quantum mechanical non-locality and atomic cascade photons
Bell’s theorem of 1965 is a proof that all realistic interpretations of quantum mechanics must be non-local. Bell’s theorem consists of two parts: first a correlation inequality is derived that must be satisfied by all local realistic theories; second it is demonstrated that quantum mechanical probabilities violate this inequality in certain cases. In the case of ideal experiments, Bell’s theor...
