Analysis of Assumptions in BIG Bell Test Experiments

Abstract

AbstractRecently, a group of experiments tested local realism with random choices prepared by humans. These various tests were subject to additional assumptions, which lead to loopholes in the interpretations of almost all of the experiments. Among these assumptions are fair sampling, no signaling, and faithful reproduction of a Bell‐type quantum model. The data from 9 of 13 experiments were examined and occurring anomalies were analyzed in view of the above assumptions. It is concluded that further tests of local realism need better setup calibration to avoid apparent signaling or necessity of the complicated underlying quantum model.
