Closing the detection loophole in the Bell test for local models based upon three hidden variables Article uri icon

abstract

  • Locality and fair sampling are proved to be contradictory assumptions in hidden variable models of the Bell test that are based upon a 3-dimensional sample space. This result makes the class of 3-dimensional hidden variable models incompatible with quantum mechanics in the ideal case, independently of detection efficiencies. © 2007 Elsevier B.V.
