Stronger two-observer all-versus-nothing violation of local realism

Abstract

We introduce a two-observer all-versus-nothing proof of Bell’s theorem which reduces the number of required quantum predictions from 9 [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 010403 (2001); Z.-B. Chen et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 160408 (2003)] to 4, provides a greater amount of evidence against local realism, reduces the detection efficiency requirements for a conclusive experimental test of Bell’s theorem, and leads to a Bell inequality which resembles Mermin’s inequality for three observers [N. D. Mermin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 65, 1838 (1990)] but requires only two observers.
