Comment on "Franson Interference Generated by a Two-Level System"

Quantum Physics 2017-03-17 v2

Abstract

In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 118, 030501 (2017)], Peiris, Konthasinghe, and Muller report a Franson interferometry experiment using pairs of photons generated from a two-level semiconductor quantum dot. The authors report a visibility of 66% and claim that this visibility "goes beyond the classical limit of 50% and approaches the limit of violation of Bell's inequalities (70.7%)." We explain why we do not agree with this last statement and how to fix the problem.
