Consequences of the single-pair measurement of the Bell parameter

Bell inequalities represent a milestone for contemporary physics, both for quantum foundation investigations and technological applications (e.g., quantum communication and entanglement certification). Although loophole-free tests have been recently performed, a strong debate is still ongoing on the actual meaning of Bell inequality tests, for example, on the possible additional hypotheses and eventual loopholes to be included in Bell's theorem, as well as on the implications for certain interpretations of quantum mechanics. A recent work [S. Virzì , ] challenges some of the statements appeared in this debate, achieving an experimental estimation of the entire Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (Bell-CHSH) parameter from a single entangled pair owing to a weak-interaction-based measurement approach. Here, we analyze the implications of this result for quantum mechanics foundations investigation, illustrating how it can tackle some of the aforementioned interpretations of Bell inequality tests and, more in general, of quantum mechanics itself.

Abstract

Bell inequalities represent a milestone for contemporary physics, both for quantum foundation investigations and technological applications (e.g., quantum communication and entanglement certification). Although loophole-free tests have been recently performed, a strong debate is still ongoing on the actual meaning of Bell inequality tests, for example, on the possible additional hypotheses and eventual loopholes to be included in Bell's theorem, as well as on the implications for certain interpretations of quantum mechanics. A recent work [S. Virzì , ] challenges some of the statements appeared in this debate, achieving an experimental estimation of the entire Bell-Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (Bell-CHSH) parameter from a single entangled pair owing to a weak-interaction-based measurement approach. Here, we analyze the implications of this result for quantum mechanics foundations investigation, illustrating how it can tackle some of the aforementioned interpretations of Bell inequality tests and, more in general, of quantum mechanics itself.
