The two interferometers of this Franson-type test of the Bell-inequality are located 10.9 km apart from one another. Two-photon fringe visibilities of up to 81.6 % are obtained. These strong nonlocal correlations support the nonlocal predictions of quantum mechanics and provide evidence that entanglement between photons can be maintained over long distances.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "1998-06-12T13:28:52.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "experimental demonstration", "quantum correlations", "strong nonlocal correlations support", "two-photon fringe visibilities", "telecom fiber network" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "publisher": "APS", "journal": "Phys.
