Bell violations with entangled and non-entangled optical fields

Quantum Physics 2020-01-17 v1

Abstract

We report Bell violations with classical light prepared in both entangled and non-entangled polarization-path, binary states. Our results show that violations of constraints such as the Bell-Clauser-Horn-Shimony-Holt inequality do not necessarily falsify local-realism. Correlations in the realm of classical statistical optics, which are not of the Bell type, may lead to Bell violations.

9 pages, 6 figures. Contrary to what it might seem, our results do not contradict Bell's theorem
