On The Relevance Of Fair Sampling Assumption In The Recent Bell Photonic Experiments
In the experimental verification of Bell's inequalities in real photonic
experiments, it is generally believed that the so-called fair sampling
assumption (which means that a small fraction of results provide a fair
statistical sample) has an unavoidable role. Here, we want to show that the
interpretation of these experiments could be feasible, if some different
alternative assumptions other than the fair sampling were used. For this
purpose, we derive an efficient Bell-type inequality which is a CHSH-type
inequality in real experiments. Quantum mechanics violates our proposed
inequality, independent of the detection-efficiency problems.Comment: 13 pages, no figure, one table. Last versio
