Simplified measurement of the Bell parameter within quantum mechanics

چکیده
We point out that, if one accepts the validity of quantum mechanics, the Bell parameter for the polarization state of two photons can be measured in a simpler way than by the standard procedure [Clauser, Horne, Shimony, and Holt, Phys. Rev. Lett. 23, 880 (1969)]. The proposed method requires only two measurements with parallel linear-polarizer settings for Alice and Bob at 0 and 45, and yields a significantly smaller statistical error for a large Bell parameter.

Delayed-choice measurement and temporal nonlocality
We study for a composite quantum system with a quantum Turing architecture the temporal non-locality of quantum mechanics by using the temporal Bell inequality, which will be derived for a discretized network dynamics by identifying the subsystem indices with (discrete) parameter time. However, the direct “observation” of the quantum system will lead to no violation of the temporal Bell inequal...
متن کاملExperimental Violation of Multisetting Bell Inequalities for Qudits using Energy-Time Entangled Photons
The non-locality of nature is one of the most profound notions of quantum mechanics (QM) and is closely related to the phenomena of entanglement. The latter occurs when a quantum state of at least two particles cannot be written as independent single particle states. The manifestation of entanglement can be observed by correlations between two systems with no classical analogue. Moreover, these...
متن کاملQuantum mechanical proton range in human body
Introduction: Proton therapy delivers radiation to tumor tissue in a much more confined way than conventional photon therapy thus allowing the radiation oncologist to use a greater dose while still minimizing side. Materials and Methods: protons release most of their energy within the tumor region. As a result, the treating physician can potentially give an...
متن کاملRapid measurement of atomic clock-state qubits for violating Bell inequalities
Optical clock-transitions such as the ones in Ytterbium are prime candidates for encoding qubits for quantum information processing applications due to very low decoherence rates. In this work, we investigate the challenges involved in using these prime candidates for fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. We design entangling operations for pairs of indistinguishable atoms trapped in optical ...
متن کاملA stronger Bell argument for quantum non-locality
It is widely accepted that the violation of Bell inequalities excludes local theories of the quantum realm. In this paper I present a stronger Bell argument which even forbids certain non-local theories. The remaining non-local theories, which can violate Bell inequalities, are characterised by the fact that at least one of the outcomes in some sense probabilistically depends both on its distan...
