Abstract

Marinatto claims that in the proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities and without alignments [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 230403 (2003)], local observables cannot be measured by means of tests on individual qubits. Marinatto's claim is incorrect. To support this, the proof is explicitly rewritten in terms of tests on individual qubits.

Comment on “Bell's Theorem without Inequalities and without Alignments”

Luca Marinatto

In this Comment we show that Cabello's proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities [Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 230403 (2003)] does not exhibit two of the three "remarkable properties" which the proof is claimed to possess. More precisely it is our purpose to show that property (c) of Cabello's proof, stating that ``local observables can be measured by means of tests on individual qubits" is definitely false since it has been obtained by a wrong use of the basic rules of the quantum formalism, while property (b), stating that ``distant local setups do not need to be aligned since the require perfect correlations are achieved for any local rotation of the setups", is also wrong due to the failure of validity of property (c).

It is shown that Marinatto's claim [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 258901 (2003)] that the proof of "Bell's theorem without inequalities and without probabilities for two observers" [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 86, 1911 (2001)] requires four spacelike separated observers rather than two is unjustified.

Bell’s Theorem without Inequalities and without Alignments

Adán Cabello

A proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities is presented which exhibits three remarkable properties: (a). reduced local states are immune to collective decoherence; (b). distant local setups do not need to be aligned, since the required perfect correlations are achieved for any local rotation of the local setups; (c). local measurements require only individual measurements on the qubits. Indeed, it is shown that this proof is essentially the only one which fulfills (a). (b). and (c).

Comment on “Loophole-Free Bell Test for Continuous Variables via Wave and Particle Correlations”

Daniel Cavalcanti, Valerio Scarani

The inequalities proposed in [Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 170404 (2010)] are not Bell's inequalities in the usual sense: there are local classical models that violate these inequalities. Thus, their violation demonstrates nonlocality only under assumptions about the physical implementation and moreover they cannot be used as a device-independent test of nonlocality.

Bell's theorem without inequalities and without unspeakable information

Cabello, A

A proof of Bell's theorem without inequalities is presented in which distant local setups do not need to be aligned, since the required perfect correlations are achieved for any local rotation of the local setups.
