Bell Test Research Software and Data

Thank you for your interest in the data taken at NIST that was used to write our paper:

In the interest of being completely open and transparent, we have uploaded the data analyzed for our paper, the programs used to take the data, and the programs used to analyze the data. Because the paper was a collaboration between many people and institutions, the data and programs originate from many different computers. As a result, the code that appears in this repository may require modification to properly function on the data. We apologize in advance if there is missing meta-data to reproduce the analysis that is in our paper. Please let us know (belltest [at] nist.gov (belltest[at]nist[dot]gov)) so that we can make the meta-data available for everyone via this repository. The content in this repository is a best effort collection of all the source code and data analyzed. Please realize that this will be a 'living repository' with updates to make the data more accessible for anyone who is interested.
