Experimental three-photon quantum nonlocality under strict locality conditions

Violation of the classical bound of the three-particle Mermin inequality by nine standard deviations is experimentally demonstrated by closing both the locality and freedom-of-choice loopholes; only the fair-sampling assumption is required. To achieve this, a light source for producing entangled multiphoton states and measurement technologies for precise timing and efficient detection were developed.
