Realization of All-or-nothing-type Kochen-Specker Experiment with Single Photons

Abstract

Using the spontaneous parametric down-conversion process in a type-I phase matching BBO crystal as single photon source, we perform an all-or-nothing-type Kochen-Specker experiment proposed by Simon itet al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. bf85, 1783 (2000)] to verify whether noncontextual hidden variables or quantum mechanics is right. The results strongly agree with quantum mechanics.
