Abstract
An experiment was performed to search for the anomalous two-photon polarization correlation observed earlier by Holt and Pipkin using a cascade of atomic mercury. The experiment is a sensitive test of various aspects of the foundations of quantum mechanics. Although the present experimental arrangement differed only slightly from theirs, the anomalous results were not observed.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
