研究目的
To review the theoretical basis of Bell tests, the loopholes in previous experiments, and the methods and results of three 2015 experiments that closed significant loopholes to provide strong evidence against local realism and support for quantum mechanics.
研究成果
The 2015 experiments provided statistically significant evidence violating local realism and supporting quantum mechanics by closing key loopholes (detection and locality). However, complete falsification is impossible due to reliance on PRNGs and the possibility of superdeterminism. These findings have implications for quantum information technologies, such as secure cryptography and true randomness generation.
研究不足
The experiments rely on pseudo-random number generators (PRNGs) due to the impossibility of true randomness under local realism, leaving the memory loophole not fully closed. Superdeterminism remains an unfalsifiable alternative explanation. Assumptions about spatiotemporal measurements and independence of systems are necessary but cannot be fully verified.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The paper reviews existing experiments, particularly three from 2015 (Hensen et al., Shalm et al., Giustina et al.), which used entangled particles (electrons or photons) and Bell-type inequalities (CHSH and CH) to test local realism under strict locality and detection conditions. Methods include generating entangled pairs, random analyzer settings, and high-efficiency detectors.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Data from the three 2015 experiments are reviewed, involving entangled electron spins or photons, with specific numbers of trials (e.g., 245 trials for Hensen et al., over 700 million for Shalm et al., over 3.5 billion for Giustina et al.).
3：5 billion for Giustina et al.).
List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Not detailed in the paper; general mentions include detectors, random number generators (RNGs or PRNGs), fiber optic cables, and sources like nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond or nonlinear crystals (e.g., BBO or PPKTP).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Entangled particles are generated, separated spatially, measured with random analyzer settings to ensure locality, and correlations are calculated to test Bell inequalities. Procedures ensure no sub-luminal communication and high detection efficiency.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Statistical analysis of correlation values (e.g., S for CHSH, J for CH-Eberhard inequality) and p-values to assess significance of violations, using methods from references like Eberhard (1993).
