چکیده

Bell's theorem applies to the normalizable approximations of original Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) state. The constructions of the proof require measurements difficult to perform, and dichotomic observables. By noticing the fact that the four mode squeezed vacuum state produced in type II down-conversion can be seen both as two copies of approximate EPR states, and also as a kind of polarization supersinglet, we show a straightforward way to test violations of the EPR concepts with direct use of their state. The observables involved are simply photon numbers at outputs of polarizing beam splitters. Suitable chained Bell inequalities are based on the geometric concept of distance. For a few settings they are potentially a new tool for quantum information applications, involving observables of a nondichotomic nature, and thus of higher informational capacity. In the limit of infinitely many settings we get a Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger-type contradiction: EPR reasoning points to a correlation, while quantum prediction is an anticorrelation. Violations of the inequalities are fully resistant to multipair emissions in Bell experiments using parametric down-conversion sources.

The Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen State Maximally Violates Bell’s Inequalities

In their well-known argument against the completeness of quantum theory, Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) made use of a state that strictly correlates the positions and momenta of two particles. We prove the existence and uniqueness of the EPR state as a normalized, positive linear functional of the Weyl algebra for two degrees of freedom. We then show that the EPR state maximally violates B...

Violation of a Bell-type inequality in the homodyne measurement of light in an Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state

An optical Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen ~EPR! state is produced in the spontaneous parametric downconversion of an ultrashort classical pump pulse. It is shown both theoretically and experimentally that this results in the violation of a Bell-type inequality of the kind proposed by Grangier et al. The experiment is based on measuring interference between the light in the EPR state and weak light pul...

Entanglement and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox with coupled intracavity optical down-converters

We show that two evanescently coupled xs2d parametric down-converters inside a Fabry-Perot cavity provide a tunable source of quadrature squeezed light, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen sEPRd correlations and quantum entanglement. Analyzing the operation in the below threshold regime, we show how these properties can be controlled by adjusting the coupling strengths and the cavity detunings. As this can...

Relativistic entanglement of quantum states and nonlocality of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen(EPR) paradox

Relativistic bipartite entangled quantum states is studied to show that Nature doesn’t favor nonlocality for massive particles in the ultra-relativistic limit. We found that to an observer (Bob) in a moving frame S′, the entangled Bell state shared by Alice and Bob appears as the superposition of the Bell bases in the frame S′ due to the requirement of the special relativity. It is shown that t...

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox and measurement of quantum system

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox is considered in a relation to a measurement of an arbitrary quantum system . It is shown that the EPR paradox always appears in a gedanken experiment with two successively joined measuring devices. PACS number(s): 03.65 Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox is a classical topic in quantum mechanics(for elementary review see [1]). Here we show how the EPR paradox...
