``Event-ready-detectors'' Bell experiment via entanglement swapping
Abstract
Using independent sources one can realize an ``event-ready'' Bell-Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen experiment in which one can measure directly the probabilities of the various outcomes including nondetection of both particles. Our proposal involves two parametric down-converters. Subcoherence-time monitoring of the idlers provides a noninteractive quantum measurement entangling and preselecting the independent signals without touching them. We give the conditions for high fringe visibility and particle collection efficiency as required for a Bell test.
