Minimum detection efficiency for a loophole-free atom-photon bell experiment.
نویسندگان
چکیده
In Bell experiments, one problem is to achieve high enough photodetection to ensure that there is no possibility of describing the results via a local hidden-variable model. Using the Clauser-Horne inequality and a two-photon nonmaximally entangled state, a photodetection efficiency higher than 0.67 is necessary. Here we discuss atom-photon Bell experiments. We show that, assuming perfect detection efficiency of the atom, it is possible to perform a loophole-free atom-photon Bell experiment whenever the photodetection efficiency exceeds 0.50.

Closing the detection loophole in Bell experiments using qudits.
We show that the detection efficiencies required for closing the detection loophole in Bell tests can be significantly lowered using quantum systems of dimension larger than two. We introduce a series of asymmetric Bell tests for which an efficiency arbitrarily close to 1/N can be tolerated using N-dimensional systems, and a symmetric Bell test for which the efficiency can be lowered down to 61...
متن کاملA method for reaching detection efficiencies necessary for optical loophole–free Bell experiments
A method for preparing a loophole–free four–photon Bell experiments which requires a detection efficiency of 67% is proposed. It enables realistic detection efficiencies of 75% at a visibility of 85%. Two type–II crystals each down convert one correlated photon pair and we entangle one photon from one pair with one photon from the other pair on a highly transparent beam splitter. The entangleme...
متن کاملDetection loophole in asymmetric bell experiments.
The problem of closing the detection loophole with asymmetric systems, such as entangled atom-photon pairs, is addressed. We show that, for the Bell inequality I3322, a minimal detection efficiency of 43% can be tolerated for one of the particles, if the other one is always detected. We also study the influence of noise and discuss the prospects of experimental implementation.
متن کاملProposal for a loophole-free Bell test using homodyne detection.
We propose a feasible optical setup allowing for a loophole-free Bell test with efficient homodyne detection. A non-Gaussian entangled state is generated from a two-mode squeezed vacuum by subtracting a single photon from each mode, using beam splitters and standard low-efficiency single-photon detectors. A Bell violation exceeding 1% is achievable with 6 dB squeezed light and a homodyne effici...
متن کاملProposal for a loophole-free test of the Bell inequalities.
A proposal for an experimental realization of Bohm s spin-2 particle version of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment is described. Two ' Hg atoms, each with nuclear spin 2, are produced in an entangled state with total nuclear spin zero. Such a state is obtained by dissociation of dimers of the ' Hg2 isotopomer using a spectroscopically selective stimulated Raman process. The measurement of n...
