Bell Inequalities with Postselection
نویسنده
چکیده
Experimental tests of Bell inequalities ought to take into account all detection events. If the latter are postselected, and only some of these events are included in the statistical analysis, a Bell inequality may be violated, even by purely classical correlations. The paradoxical properties of Werner states, recently pointed out by Popescu, can be explained as the result of a postselection of the detection events, or, equivalently, as due to the preparation of a new state by means of a nonlocal process. Dedicated to Professor Abner Shimony, on the occasion of his 70th birthday.

Stronger quantum correlations with loophole-free postselection.
One of the most striking nonclassical features of quantum mechanics is in the correlations it predicts between spatially separated measurements. In local hidden variable theories, correlations are constrained by Bell inequalities, but quantum correlations violate these. However, experimental imperfections lead to loopholes whereby LHV correlations are no longer constrained by Bell inequalities,...
متن کاملPostselection-Loophole-Free Bell Test Over an Installed Optical Fiber Network.
Device-independent quantum communication will require a loophole-free violation of Bell inequalities. In typical scenarios where line of sight between the communicating parties is not available, it is convenient to use energy-time entangled photons due to intrinsic robustness while propagating over optical fibers. Here we show an energy-time Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Bell inequality violation ...
متن کاملDetection loophole in Bell experiments: How postselection modifies the requirements to observe nonlocality
A common problem in Bell-type experiments is the well-known detection loophole: if the detection efficiencies are not perfect and if one simply postselects the conclusive events, one might observe a violation of a Bell inequality, even though a local model could have explained the experimental results. In this paper, we analyze the set of all postselected correlations that can be explained by a...
متن کاملRydberg-blockade controlled-NOT gate and entanglement in a two-dimensional array of neutral-atom qubits
We present experimental results on two-qubit Rydberg-blockade quantum gates and entanglement in a twodimensional qubit array. Without postselection against atom loss we achieve a Bell state fidelity of 0.73 ± 0.05. The experiments are performed in an array of single Cs atom qubits with a site to site spacing of 3.8 μm. Using the standard protocol for a Rydberg-blockade CZ gate together with sin...
متن کاملTwo-party Bell inequalities derived from combinatorics via triangular elimination
Abstract. Bell inequalities, originally introduced as a method to prove that some quantum states show nonlocal behavior, are now studied as a method to capture the extent of the nonlocality of quantum states. Tight Bell inequalities are considered to be more important than redundant ones. Despite the increasing importance of the study of Bell inequalities, few kinds of tight Bell inequalities h...
