Abstract
In addition to Bell’s original inequality, John
Clauser, Michael Horne, Abner Shimony and Richard Holt
(CHSH), developed a special form of Bell’s inequality which gives
classical limits to the expected correlation between two particles.
We present a theoretical demonstration of the maximum value
for violation of CHSH inequality, S=2sqrt(2), for the pure entangled
quantum state. Using the spontaneous four-wave mixing (FWM)
process, we generate polarization-entangled photon pairs in a
highly nonlinear fiber (HNLF) loop, for experimental verification.
Using a nonentangled quantum state, we show theoretically that
the violation of CHSH inequality is only a property of entangled
states. We also show the theoretical solution of violation of
the CHSH inequality for a general Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger
(GHZ) state and for an arbitrary state of two particles.
