A Bell-type Inequality for Real Experiments and The Relevance of Fair Sampling Assumption
نویسندگان
چکیده
In the experimental verification of Bell’s inequalities in real photonic experiments, it is generally believed that the so-called fair sampling assumption (which means that a small fraction of results provide a fair statistical sample) has an unavoidable role. Here, we want to show that the interpretation of these experiments is really independent of the fair sampling assumption. For this purpose, we derive a more efficient Bell-type inequality which is a CHSH-type inequality in real experiments, using some alternative assumptions. Furthermore, Quantum mechanics violates our proposed inequality, independent of the detection-efficiency problems.

In the experimental verification of Bell’s inequalities in real photonic experiments, it is generally believed that the so-called fair sampling assumption (which means that a small fraction of results provide a fair statistical sample) has an unavoidable role. Here, we want to show that the interpretation of these experiments could be feasible, if some different alternative assumptions other th...
متن کاملTesting the Fair Sampling Assumption for EPR-Bell Experiments with Polarizer Beamsplitters
In spite of many attempts, no local realistic model seems to be able to reproduce EPR-Bell type correlations. The only widely acknowledged way to bend the correlations to the sinusoidal curve predicted by Quantum Mechanics is to allow for non ideal detection. But in this case, the Bell inequality can no longer be derived unless fair sampling is assumed, which is usually believed to be both a re...
متن کاملExperimental violation of local causality in a quantum network
Bell's theorem plays a crucial role in quantum information processing and thus several experimental investigations of Bell inequalities violations have been carried out over the years. Despite their fundamental relevance, however, previous experiments did not consider an ingredient of relevance for quantum networks: the fact that correlations between distant parties are mediated by several, typ...
متن کاملLocality and Bell's Inequality
WARNING This is a revised version with respect to the one submitted on Mon, 3 Jul 2000. By mistake an earlier version and not the final one was submitted. Abstract We prove that the locality condition is irrelevant to Bell in equality. We check that the real origin of the Bell’s inequality is the assumption of applicability of classical (Kolmogorovian) probability theory to quantum mechanics. W...
متن کاملDetection-loophole-free test of quantum nonlocality, and applications.
We present a source of entangled photons that violates a Bell inequality free of the "fair-sampling" assumption, by over 7 standard deviations. This violation is the first reported experiment with photons to close the detection loophole, and we demonstrate enough "efficiency" overhead to eventually perform a fully loophole-free test of local realism. The entanglement quality is verified by maxi...
