  Experimental tests of Bell's inequality
For timing in a test of Bell's inequality to be conclusive requires that we time the occurrence of a macroscopic event.
In contrast to previous measurements with massive particles, this violation of Bell's inequality was obtained by use of a complete set of measurements.
Bell's inequality tests necessitate major improvements of technology in order to finally, after more than 15 years, go significantly beyond the 1982 experiment of Aspect et al.

 Clauser and Horne's 1974 Bell test
Not all of the inequalities to be found in text books and popular articles have been used in practice - not all are equally general, some in fact holding true for only rather limited classes of local realist theory, typically restricted to experiments in which there are no null outcomes, the detectors being perfect.
Special cases of the Bell inequalities apply when there is rotational invariance and the detector settings are selected with the differences all equal to either φ or 3φ for some angle φ.
The important feature of the CH74 inequality is, as is stressed both in the 1974 paper and in the 1978 report on the Bell tests by Clauser and Shimony (Clauser, 1978), that it does not require knowledge of N, the number of emitted pairs.

 CHSH inequality - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, the CHSH Bell test is an application of Bell's theorem, intended to distinguish between quantum mechanics (QM) and local hidden variable theories.
They derived the CHSH inequality, which, as with John Bell's original one (Bell, 1964), applies to a statistical property of counts of "coincidences" in a Bell test experiment that follows from the assumption that there exist underlying local hidden variables.
The inequality must be obeyed under local realism but can be infringed under certain conditions by the QM formula.

 Bell test experiments - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term "Bell inequality" can mean any one of a number of inequalities — in practice, in real experiments, the CHSH or CH74 inequality, not the original one derived by John Bell.
One of the main achievements of this new branch of physics is showing that violation of Bell's inequalities leads to the possibility of a secure information transfer, which utilizes the so-called quantum cryptography (involving entangled states of pairs of particles).
The second was the first application of the CHSH inequality, the third the famous one (originally suggested by John Bell) in which the choice between the two settings on each side was made during the flight of the photons.

 CHSH inequality -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
If it is numerically greater than 2 it has infringed the CHSH inequality and the experiment is declared to have supported the QM prediction and ruled out all local hidden variable theories.
It would appear from both these later derivations that the only assumptions really needed for the inequality itself (as opposed to the method of estimation of the test statistic) are that the distribution of the possible states of the source remains constant and the detectors on the two sides act independently.
To obtain the CHSH test statistic S (expression (2)), all that is needed is to multiply the inequalities for which j is different from k by −1 and add these to the inequalities for which j and k are the same.

He showed that the assumption of local realism - that particle attributes have definite values independent of the act of observation and that physical effects have a finite propagation speed - leads to a requirement for certain types of phenomena which is not present in quantum mechanics.
The QM predicted correlation is due to quantum entanglement of the pair, with the idea that their state is not determined until the point at which a measurement is made on one or the other.
Bell's inequalities are tested by "coincidence counts" from a Bell test experiment such as the optical one shown in the diagram.

 Bell test loopholes
One can either argue that Bell's logic was wrong and his inequality can be infringed without implying nonlocal effects; or one may challenge the experimental evidence and the correctness of the quantum-mechanical prediction.
If the logic of the experiments is studied in conjunction with the geometry it can be seen that, given the low detection efficiencies achieved in the actual experiments, the set of detected pairs is unlikely in general to be a fair sample of those emitted (see the "Chaotic Ball" model).
It is the timing, locality or light cone one, whereby the violation of the inequality is supposed to be due to exchange of signals between the detectors during flight of the "photons".

 inequality
If the sense of the inequality is the same for all values of the variables for which its members are defined, then the inequality is called an "absolute" or "unconditonal" inequality.
If the sense of an inequality holds only for certain values of the variables involved, but is reversed or destroyed for other values of the variables, it is called a conditional inequality.
The sense of an inequality is not changed if both sides are increased or decreased by the same number, or if both sides are multiplied or divided by a positive number; the sense of an inequality is reversed if both members are multiplied or divided by a negative number.

A Bell state is defined as a maximally entangled quantum state of two qubits.
John S. Bell showed in his famous paper of 1964 by using simple probability theory arguments that these correlations cannot be perfect in case of "pre-agreement" stored in some hidden variables -- but that quantum mechanics predict perfect correlations.

John S. Bell (June 28, 1928 - October 1, 1990) was a physicist who became well known as the originator of Bells Theorem, regarded by some in the quantum physics community as one of the most important theorems of the 20th century.
Bells Theorem states that a Bell inequality must be obeyed under any local hidden variable theory but is violated under quantum mechanics (QM).
Quantum entanglement is a quantum mechanical phenomenon in which the quantum states of two or more objects have to be described with reference to each other, even though the individual objects may be spatially separated.

It is generally believed that Bell's inequality holds for the case of entangled states, including two correlated particles or special states of a single particle.
Considering an extended type of Bohm's version of EPR thought experiment, we derive Bell's inequality for the case of factorizable contextual hidden variable theories which are consistent with the predictions of quantum theory.
In the experimental verification of Bell's inequalities in real photonic experiments, it is generally believed that the so-called fair sampling assumption (which means that a small fraction of results provide a fair statistical sample) has an unavoidable role.

 The CH74 Bell test
“Bell inequalities” are designed to form the basis of tests for the non-local “quantum entanglement” phenomenon predicted by quantum mechanics (QM) as against “local hidden variable” theories.
(CHSH) two-channel test is briefly discussed, then two different derivations of the single-channel inequality.
Aspect, and, one must presume, others who are continuing to use the CHSH test, are evidently labouring under a misapprehension regarding the assumptions involved in the CH74 test.

The Theorem is named after John Bell, whose ground-breaking mid-1960's papers examined both von Neumann's proof of the non-existence of hidden variables (1932) and the EPR paradox (1935) in greater detail.
Experimental tests of Bell inequalities support the failure of local realism, and in particular, that some of unexpected correlations suggested by the EPR thought experiment do in fact occur.
For approaches that explicitly formalize local realism, see the page on the CHSH inequality, where two derivations are given, including one by Bell (Bell, 1971).

The "Bell inequalities" tested in actual "Bell test experiments" are not quite the original ones that Bell proposed, nor do experimental conditions necessarily comply with the assumptions on which the inequalities depend.
It is well known that the CHSH inequality requires fair sampling, while it is perhaps less well known (though it is clear from the 1974 derivation) that the CH74 one does not.
The majority of recent experiments (almost all since about 1985) have used the CHSH or related inequalities, amongst which is classed, for this purpose, the "visibility" test.

This scheme is an improvement on the Ekert scheme which uses the CHSH inequality and requires three settings of Alice's and Bob's analyzers for testing the inequality and generating the keys.
From the resulting nine combinations of settings, four are taken for testing the inequality, two are used for building the keys and three are omitted at all.

This is of course subject to the usual caveats that apply to Bell experiments, but let’s grant the correctness of the analysis for now and take a look at the class of nonlocal hidden-variable theories that are ruled out.

By exhibiting a violation of a novel form of the Bell-CHSH inequality, \.{Z}ukowski has recently established that the quantum correlations exploited in the standard perfect teleportation protocol cannot be recovered by any local hidden variables model.
Allowing the quantum channel state in the protocol to be given by any density operator of two spin-1/2 particles, we show that a violation of a generalized form of \.{Z}ukowski's teleportation inequality can only occur if the channel state, considered by itself, violates a Bell-CHSH inequality.
On the other hand, although it is sufficient for a teleportation process to have a nonclassical fidelity---defined as a fidelity exceeding $2/3$---that the channel state employed violate a Bell-CHSH inequality, we show that such a violation does \emph{not} imply a violation of \.{Z}ukowski's teleportation inequality or any of its generalizations.
