Abstract: Entanglement gives rise to correlations between distant quantum systems that cannot be explained by local realistic theories. Bell inequality violations provide a direct way to reveal these correlations and certify nonlocality, especially when the relevant experimental loopholes are closed. Time-bin encoding, in which quantum information is encoded into well-defined temporal modes, is a commonly used platform for distributing photonic entanglement in optical fibers. Yet loophole-free Bell tests with time-bin entanglement have received comparatively little attention, owing in part to the postselection loophole introduced by conventional interferometric measurements. Here, we demonstrate a fiber-based platform for Bell tests with time-bin entanglement that simultaneously closes the locality, freedom-of-choice, and postselection loopholes. We observe a CHSH violation of $S=2.583 \pm 0.002$, exceeding the local-realistic bound by over 265 standard deviations. Notably, this rigorous certification of nonlocality is achieved at a separation distance of $49.0 \pm 0.7$ m, substantially shorter than previous photonic Bell tests addressing comparable space-time constraints. Beyond its foundational significance, our results demonstrate time-bin entanglement as a viable route towards practical device-independent quantum communication and a future quantum internet.

Realizing fracton order from long-range quantum entanglement in programmable Rydberg atom arrays [45.19832622389592]
Storing quantum information requires battling quantum decoherence, which results in a loss of information over time. To achieve error-resistant quantum memory, one would like to store the information in a quantum superposition of degenerate states engineered in such a way that local sources of noise cannot change one state into another. We show that this platform also allows to detect and correct certain types of errors en route to the goal of true error-resistant quantum memory.

Test of transient deviations from Quantum Mechanics in Bell's experiment [41.94295877935867]
The conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Local Realism is most noticeable in the correlations observed between distant regions of a spatially spread entangled state. It has been hypothesized that transient deviations (from the values predicted by QM) may be observed if the correlations are measured in a time shorter than L/c. We present the results of such a test performed on a specially designed optical Bell setup with a distance between stations up to 24 m in straight line.

Certifying long-range quantum correlations through routed Bell tests [0.0]
Losses in the transmission channel, which increase with distance, pose a major obstacle to photonics demonstrations of quantum nonlocality. Recently, Chaturvedi, Viola, and Pawlowski introduced a variation of standard Bell experiments with the goal of extending the range over which quantum nonlocality can be demonstrated. In these experiments, which we call 'routed Bell experiments', Bob can route his quantum particle along two possible paths and measure it at two distinct locations.

Loophole-free Bell tests with randomly chosen subsets of measurement settings [0.0]
We show that, in some cases, it is possible to detect loophole-free Bell nonlocality testing only a small random fraction of the settings. The method allows for a novel approach to the design of loophole-free Bell tests in which, given the dimension of the local system, the visibility, and the detection efficiency available, one can calculate the fraction of the contexts needed to reach the detection-loophole-free regime.

Observing super-quantum correlations across the exceptional point in a single, two-level trapped ion [48.7576911714538]
In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.
