Comment on "Bell Experiment with Genuine Energy-Time Entanglement" by Cabello et al.: Why Franson's Experiment Violates Local Realism

TL;DR

This paper critiques a model used to challenge the Franson experiment, demonstrating its flaws and reaffirming that the experiment indeed violates local realism based on the authors' analysis.

Contribution

It provides a critical analysis of models questioning the Franson experiment's validity, confirming the experiment's violation of local realism.

Findings

The model by Cabello et al. has similar weaknesses to previous models.

The Franson experiment genuinely violates local realism.

The critique clarifies the interpretation of the experimental results.

Abstract

It is shown that the model introduced by Cabello et al. to criticize the Franson experiment suffers from the same weakness as the previous model introduced by Aerts et al. with the same purpose. It is also shown why we can assume with confidence that the Franson experiment does violate local realism.
