Correlations for a new Bell’s inequality experiment

  • Published:
Foundations of Physics Letters

Abstract

Proofs of Bell’s theorem and the data analysis used to show its violation have commonly assumed a spatially stationary underlying process. However, it has been shown recently that the appropriate Bell’s inequality holds identically for cross correlations of three or four lists of ±l’s, independently of statistical assumptions. When data consistent with its derivation are analyzed without imposition of the stationarity assumption, the resulting correlations satisfy the Bell inequality.
