Abstract

Bell inequality is violated with transverse spatial variables of twin photons, through optical implementation of Fractional Fourier Transforms. A q-bit can be constructed and manipulated in the same way, with promising applications to quantum information.

Experimental Violation of Bell’s Inequality in Spatial-Parity Space

Timothy M. Yarnall, Ayman F. Abouraddy, Bahaa E. A. Saleh +1 more

We report the first experimental violation of Bell's inequality in the spatial domain using the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen state. Two-photon states generated via optical spontaneous parametric down-conversion are shown to be entangled in the parity of their one-dimensional transverse spatial profile. Superpositions of Bell states are prepared by manipulation of the optical pump's transverse spatial parity-a classical parameter. The Bell-operator measurements are made possible by devising simple optical arrangements that perform rotations in the one-dimensional spatial-parity space of each photon of an entangled pair and projective measurements onto a basis of even-odd functions. A Bell-operator value of 2.389+/-0.016 is recorded, a violation of the inequality by more than 24 standard deviations.

Position-momentum Bell nonlocality with entangled photon pairs

James Schneeloch, Samuel H. Knarr, Daniel J. Lum +1 more

Witnessing continuous-variable Bell nonlocality is a challenging endeavor, but Bell himself showed how one might demonstrate this nonlocality. Although Bell nearly showed a violation using the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality with sign-binned position-momentum statistics of entangled pairs of particles measured at different times, his demonstration is subject to approximations not realizable in a laboratory setting. Moreover, he does not give a quantitative estimation of the maximum achievable violation for the wave function he considers. In this article, we show how his strategy can be reimagined using the transverse positions and momenta of entangled photon pairs measured at different propagation distances, and we find that the maximum achievable violation for the state he considers is actually very small relative to the upper limit of $2\sqrt{2}$. Although Bell's wave function does not produce a large violation of the CHSH inequality, other states may yet do so.
