Abstract

Correlation measurements of mixed signal and idler photons produced in the process of parametric down-conversion have been performed as a function of two linear polarizer settings. It is found that the Bell inequality for two separated particles is violated by about 6 standard deviations, and that classical probability for light waves is violated substantially also.
