Bell's Inequalities and Quantum Entanglement
Deep at the root of the underlying principles of quantum mechanics lies shadowy principles based on probability which never sit well with some people. This experiment is meant to shine some (laser)light on these principles, and see if we can't come to some deeper understanding of how the universe works.
No better introduction can be given than the following set of famous papers, commonly referred to today by their author lists.
It is imperative that you read and understand these papers before you attempt to perform this experiment.
