Towards a loophole‐free Bell experiment on a tabletop
12:10 - 12:30
Gautam Kavuri, Martin Stevens, Paul Kwiat, Saewoo Nam and Lynden Shalm A loophole-free Bell test shrunk to a tabletop would open the door to new tests of fundamental physics, such as a loophole-free chained Bell experiment, and exciting practical applications, such as randomness beacons. The major challenge in building such a system is the need for a low-loss high-bandwidth polarization switch. We will present a scheme for an all-optical switch that can simultaneously meet the challenging requirements of less than 5% loss and a GHz bandwidth that are demanded by this experiment.
