Violations of classical inequalities in quantum optics
Abstract
A review is given of correlation experiments in optics which explicitly distinguish between the predictions of classical and quantum theory. In particular, the Cauchy-Schwarz and Bell's inequalities and the phenomena of photon antibunching and squeezing are discussed. The violation of classical inequalities is shown to be associated with the nonexistence of a positive Glauber-Sudarshan P function. An example is given of a dissipative system where a violation of Bell's inequality occurs.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
