Bell inequalities under non-ideal conditions    [PDF]

João N. C. Especial

Bell inequalities applicable to non-ideal EPRB experiments are critical to the interpretation of experimental Bell tests. In this article it is shown that previous treatments of this subject are incorrect due to an implicit assumption and new inequalities are derived under general conditions. Published experimental evidence is reinterpreted under these results and found to be entirely compatible with local-realism, both, when experiments involve inefficient detection, if fair-sampling detection is assumed, as well as when experiments have nearly ideal detection and measurement crosstalk is taken into account.
