Conclusion<br />

12.1 Claim <strong>of</strong> Violation <strong>of</strong> Bell’s Inequality<br />

Based on the experimental results and verifications detailed above, we claim<br />

the observation <strong>of</strong> a violation <strong>of</strong> the CHSH Bell inequality by over 200σ in our<br />

resonator-coupled superconducting Josephson phase qubit circuit. To our knowledge,<br />

this is the first violation observed in a macroscopic solid state system.<br />

If our dataset is limited to a size where statistical sampling noise (rather than<br />

experimental drift) dominates the errors in the obtained S-value (1.55 million<br />

samples over 20 minutes), we find S = 2.08055 ± 0.00135 (in the best case), corresponding<br />

to a violation <strong>of</strong> the bound S ≤ 2.0 by 59.5σ. If the entire dataset<br />

(34.1 million samples over 8 hours) is used, we find S = 2.07320 ± 0.00030, corre-<br />
