History
![Page 4: Bell violation with entangled photons and without the fair-sampling assumption Foundations of Physics 2013 LMU Munich, Germany 30 July 2013 Johannes Kofler.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062404/5517626e5503463e368b47ae/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Local realism
• Realism: physical properties are (probabilistically) defined prior to and independent of measurement
• Locality: no physical influence can propagate faster than the speed of light
External world
Passive observers
Classical world view:

Realism: Hidden variables determine global prob. distrib.: p(Aa1b1, Aa1b2, Aa2b1,…|λ)
Locality: (OI) Outcome independence: p(A|a,b,B,λ) = p(A|a,b,λ) & vice versa for B(SI) Setting independence: p(A|a,b,λ) = p(A|a,λ) & vice versa for B
Freedom of choice: p(a,b|λ) = p(a,b) p(λ|a,b) = p(λ)

Realism + Locality + Freedom of choice Bell‘s inequality
CHSH form1: Sexp := E(a1,b2) + E(a2,b1) + E(a2,b1) – E(a2,b2) 2
Original Bell paper2 implicitly assumed freedom of choice:
A(a,b,B,λ)

Loopholes
Why important?
- quantum foundations- security of entanglement-based quantum cryptography
Three main loopholes:
• Locality loopholehidden communication between the partiesclosed for photons (19821,19982)
• Freedom-of-choice loopholesettings are correlated with hidden variables closed for photons (20103)
• Fair-sampling loopholemeasured subensemble is not representativeclosed for atoms (20014), superconducting qubits (20095) and for photons (20136)

Loopholes:

Fair-sampling loophole
Unfair sampling: detection efficiency could be low and setting-dependent1
A = A(,), B = B(,)
• Local realistic model2:

• Efficiency is not optional in security-related tasks (device-independent quantum cryptography): faked Bell violations3

Eberhard inequality
• CHSH inequality requires tot > 82.8 %1 (max. entangled states)
• Eberhard2 (CH3) inequality requires tot > 66.7 % (non-max. ent. states)
- no fair-sampling assumption
- no requirement to measure tot
- no post-selection or normalization- only one detector per side

• Strong drop of production rate (intensity) for 22 could lead to “fake violation”
“production rate loophole”
• Comparison of all singles counts:
• Drifts slightly larger than purely statistical
• Normalization with respect to production rate: J –123 000

Conclusion and outlook
• Loopholes important for quantum foundations & quantum cryptography
• Locality (1982/98) and freedom-of-choice loophole (2010) closed for photons
• Fair-sampling loophole [already closed for atoms (2001) and superconducting qubits (2009)] now closed for photons
• Photons: first system for which each of the three major loopholes has been closed, albeit in separate experiments
• For a loophole-free experiment:fast random number generators, precise timing, efficiency gains to compensate propagation losses due to increased distance
• Endgame for local realism has begun
