Closing objectivity loophole in Bell tests on a public quantum computer

Quantum Physics 2025-06-27 v2

Abstract

We have constructed and run a Bell test of local realism focusing on the objectivity criterion. The objectivity means that the outcomes are confirmed macroscopically by a few observers at each party. The IBM Quantum and IonQ devices turn out to be sufficiently accurate to pass such an extended Bell-type test, although at the price of communication loopholes and residual but statistically significant signaling. The test also serves as the benchmark of entanglement spread across larger sets of qubits.
