Ladder proof of nonlocality without inequalities and without probabilities

Abstract

The ladder proof of nonlocality without inequalities for two spin half particles proposed by Hardy et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 79 (1997) 2755) works only for nonmaximally entangled states and goes through for 50% of pairs at the most. A similar ladder proof for two spin-1 particles in a maximally entangled state is presented. In its simplest form, the proof goes through for 17% of pairs. An extended version works for 100% of pairs. The proof can be extended to any maximally entangled state of two spin-s particles (with s equal or greater than 1).
