The inequality states that the sum of probabilities of three pairwise exclusive events is bounded by one. This inequality cannot be violated using standard quantum mechanical projectors. On the other hand, due to bosonic properties this bound is violated up to 3/2. We also argue that the violation of this inequality can be considered as a test of bosonic nature.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-06-16T19:22:11.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "03.65.Ud", "03.65.Ta" ], "keywords": [ "bosonic bunching", "contextuality", "speckers non-contextual inequality", "standard quantum mechanical projectors", "indistinguishable bosonic particles" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.020403", "journal": "Physical Review Letters", "year": 2014, "month": "Jan", "volume": 112, "number": 2, "pages": "020403" }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 4, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2014PhRvL.112b0403K" } } }
