Proposal for testing non-locality of single photons in cavities

Quantum Physics 2011-11-09 v2 Optics

Abstract

A scheme is formulated for testing nonlocality of single photons by considering the state of a single photon that could be located within one of two spatially separated cavities. The outcomes of four experiments on this state involving the resonant interactions of two-level atoms with these cavities and a couple of other auxiliary ones is shown to lead to a contradiction with the criterion of locality.
