- Actually, though that example is certainly much more striking as a
- theoretical discussion of how QM differs from local realistic theories,
- people who've looked at it closely tell me that in any real experiment
- it would turn out to require even higher detection efficiencies than
- the standard Bell Inequalities.
- As far as devising an experiment, that's not nearly so hard as actually
- performing it :-). Yurke and Stoler, in particular, have come up with
- a scheme for doing something along GHZ lines, if I'm not mistaken.
- PRL in the past few months, I think, maybe a little older...
