- Abstract: Bell inequalities on local hidden variables were used to test particle entanglement given by the quantum mechanics wavefunction. The experiments on correlated photon pairs showed a clear violation of Bell inequalities and agreement with quantum mechanics. This study revealed that the Bell inequalities on normalized density function is true only for photon polarization at individual instances but it does not hold over the entire population in a given system. The Bell inequalities is not an incompatibility criterion for local hidden variables vs quantum mechanics rather it is a criterion for an individual nature vs population dynamics. The study found that the local variables (photon polarization) described each quantity in Bell test and a complete agreement with the experiments where quantum mechanics was incapable to provide as it is a unified system. The paper concludes with great satisfaction that the simultaneous measurement of two correlated photons at a distance was a local cause (photon-filter interaction did not violate the special theory of relativity) and the nonlocality description given by the wavefunction was not physical.

In 1935 Bell used the assumption of local realism to conclude in a Gedankenexperiment with two entangled particles that quantum mechanics is not complete.<n>Special interest is entanglement between different quantum objects like atoms and photons, because it allows one to entangle distant atoms by the interference of photons.<n>The primary goal of the present thesis was the experimental realization of entanglement between a single localized atom and a single spontaneously emitted photon.

The derivation of Bell's inequalities gives precise meaning to the idea of quantum non-locality.
It also makes evident why using it for faster than light signaling is impossible.
It is demonstrated that series of outcomes, even if they violate Bell's inequalities, can be always embedded in a set of factual and counter-factual data.

The behavior of quantum entanglement during scattering is identical to the behavior of initially classically correlated photons up to a constant factor equal to two.
Our dedicated experiment with photons confirms these results and explains the "Puzzle of Decoherence" observed recently.

We investigate the quantum dynamics of two photonic modes coupled to each other through a beam splitting.
We find that when the initial wave function of one mode is different from a wave packet obeying the minimum Heisenberg uncertainty, the causality in the time-evolution of each mode is internally broken.

The Bell inequality constrains the outcomes of measurements on pairs of distant entangled particles.
The Bell contradiction states that the Bell inequality is inconsistent with the calculated outcomes of these quantum experiments.
This paper proposes an appropriate probability model for the Bell experiment.

Our results show that single-photon entanglement may constitute a promising solution to generate genuine network-nonlocal correlations useful for Bell-based quantum information protocols.
