By observing non-locality, it is possible to demonstrate that a system cannot be described by a local (classical) theory, even if the underlying local variables are hidden [1]. As a consequence, provably secure randomness can be extracted from any non-local system.
We present a robust experimental technique for detecting non-locality in a two-mode Bose–Einstein condensate. Among a family of Bell inequalities whose violation witnesses non-locality, we maximize the experimental signal-to-noise ratio in the presence of several types of noise.
We report on the status of an experiment to detect non-locality in a BEC using this technique.
