Who they are

Ronald Hanson is an experimental quantum physicist at Delft whose research concerns entanglement and quantum networks. He was a corresponding author of the 2015 electron-spin Bell experiment. That team tested a fundamental question about correlations in nature while addressing detection and locality loopholes together.

His place here is the experimental testing of quantum theory, rather than a documented investigation of UAP.

    Experimental loophole-free violation of a Bell inequality using entangled electron spins separated by 1.3 km

    The team reports a Bell test using electron spins 1.3 kilometres apart, designed to address detection and locality loopholes together. The finite trial count and statistical test remain part of the result.

    August 2015 preprint title differs from the journal title, “Loophole-free Bell inequality violation using electron spins separated by 1.3 kilometres.” Journal DOI: 10.1038/nature15759.
