Abstract
We present a source of entangled photons that violates a Bell inequality free of the "fair-sampling" assumption, by over 50 standard deviations, and with enough "efficiency" overhead to eventually perform a fully loophole-free test of local realism. The entanglement quality is verified by maximally violating additional Bell tests, testing the upper limit of quantum correlations. Finally, we use the source to generate secure quantum random numbers at rates 5 orders of magnitude beyond previous experiments.Citation
