Time-domain balanced homodyne detection is performed on two well-separated temporal modes sharing a single photon. The reconstructed density matrix of the two-mode system is used to prove and quantify its entangled nature, while theWigner function is employed for an innovative tomographic test of Bell s inequality based on the theoretical proposal by Banaszek and Wodkiewicz (Phys.

Abstract

Time-domain balanced homodyne detection is performed on two well-separated temporal modes sharing a single photon. The reconstructed density matrix of the two-mode system is used to prove and quantify its entangled nature, while theWigner function is employed for an innovative tomographic test of Bell s inequality based on the theoretical proposal by Banaszek and Wodkiewicz (Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, pp.2009 1999). Provided some auxiliary assumptions are made, a clear violation of the Banaszek-Bell inequality is found.
