Significant-loophole-free test of Bell's theorem with entangled photons

M Giustina, MAM Versteegh, S Wengerowsky… - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
Local realism is the worldview in which physical properties of objects exist independently of
measurement and where physical influences cannot travel faster than the speed of light …

Strong loophole-free test of local realism

LK Shalm, E Meyer-Scott, BG Christensen, P Bierhorst… - Physical review …, 2015 - APS
We present a loophole-free violation of local realism using entangled photon pairs. We
ensure that all relevant events in our Bell test are spacelike separated by placing the parties …

Cosmic Bell test using random measurement settings from high-redshift quasars

D Rauch, J Handsteiner, A Hochrainer, J Gallicchio… - Physical review …, 2018 - APS
In this Letter, we present a cosmic Bell experiment with polarization-entangled photons, in
which measurement settings were determined based on real-time measurements of the …

Challenging local realism with human choices

Nature, 2018 - nature.com
A Bell test is a randomized trial that compares experimental observations against the
philosophical worldview of local realism, in which the properties of the physical world are …

Cosmic Bell test: measurement settings from milky way stars

J Handsteiner, AS Friedman, D Rauch, J Gallicchio… - Physical review …, 2017 - APS
Bell's theorem states that some predictions of quantum mechanics cannot be reproduced by
a local-realist theory. That conflict is expressed by Bell's inequality, which is usually derived …

Loophole-free Bell test using electron spins in diamond: second experiment and additional analysis

B Hensen, N Kalb, MS Blok, AE Dréau, A Reiserer… - Scientific reports, 2016 - nature.com
The recently reported violation of a Bell inequality using entangled electronic spins in
diamonds (Hensen et al., Nature 526, 682–686) provided the first loophole-free evidence …

Addressing some common objections to generalized noncontextuality

D Schmid, JH Selby, RW Spekkens - Physical Review A, 2024 - APS
When should a given operational phenomenology be deemed to admit of a classical
explanation? When it can be realized in a generalized-noncontextual ontological model …

Quantum gravity if non-locality is fundamental

SA Kauffman - Entropy, 2022 - mdpi.com
I take non-locality to be the Michelson–Morley experiment of the early 21st century, assume
its universal validity, and try to derive its consequences. Spacetime, with its locality, cannot …

Experimental refutation of real-valued quantum mechanics under strict locality conditions

D Wu, YF Jiang, XM Gu, L Huang, B Bai, QC Sun… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
Quantum mechanics is commonly formulated in a complex, rather than real, Hilbert space.
However, whether quantum theory really needs the participation of complex numbers has …

Quantifying Bell nonlocality with the trace distance

SGA Brito, B Amaral, R Chaves - Physical Review A, 2018 - APS
Measurements performed on distant parts of an entangled quantum state can generate
correlations incompatible with classical theories respecting the assumption of local …
