  PBS

Only the authors can say what is right here.

Judge's note: Eq. (8) has photon 2 as |h⟩2 in both paths; the half wave plate turns b2 to |v⟩, and Eq. (11) confirms it (c+ term α|a2⟩+β|b2⟩ becomes β|v⟩+α|h⟩). In Fig. 1, a2 runs straight through PBS_B to R_B and b2 (via λ/2) enters from the side and is reflected. As drawn, the element transmits h and reflects v, the reverse of the text. The figure is schematic, so this is a query, not a certain error; Eq. (11) is unaffected.

• p. 9 paragraph on linear case

• p. 9 paragraph on linear case

  α = sin(θ) and β = cos(θ)

• p. 9 paragraph on elliptical case

  we set θ = 0 and inserted the quarter wave plates at angle γ equal to 20◦ to the vertical

Only the authors can say what is right here.

Judge's note: Page 9: with α = sin θ, θ = 0 gives α|v⟩+β|h⟩ = |h⟩. The printed elliptical state reduces to (1+i)/√2 |v⟩ at γ = 0, and the text says the d± outcomes (whose Eq. 11 term is the original state up to sign) are converted 'to |v⟩'. Both mean the plate acted on vertical polarisation. A likely reading is that θ = 0 means the rotator leaves the |v⟩1 of Eq. (4) unrotated (Fig. 1 places λ/4 before R(θ)), but that conflicts with the stated α = sin θ convention and no second convention is given. I searched the text and the figure captions and found no explanation.

  Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations

• p. 10 concluding paragraph, first sentence

  disassembled into purely classical and purely nonlocal EPR correlations

• p. 2 introduction, quote from ref. [1]

  purely classical information and purely nonclassical Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations

Judge's note: Page 1 title reads 'Podolski'; page 2 line 2 reads 'Podolsky'. The paper is inconsistent with itself, so no outside fact is needed. On page 10 the conclusion says 'purely classical and purely nonlocal EPR correlations', against 'purely classical information and purely nonclassical ... correlations' on page 2; this is a paraphrase with a missing noun, cosmetic only.

Judge's note: Rests on outside knowledge: the Italian spelling 'Istituto', the five-digit Rome postal code, and the UK postcode format. All quoted strings are on the page 1 image as stated. The marker inconsistency is verifiable in the file alone: (1) and (2) are parenthesised, the third is a bare 3, and the Bristol line is upright while the other addresses are italic. 'upto a local operation' on page 2 is also present and is handled under C005.

Judge's note: Each string is on the page images: 'romb' on pages 5 and 7 (and again on page 5 'angle of the Fresnel romb'), 'Pockel cells' and 'under progress' on page 10, 'upto' on page 2 (the abstract has 'up to'), and 'equation (11) quarter wave plate was used' on page 9. Purely cosmetic.

Judge's note: Page 3 image shows no full stop between the formula and 'Alice'. I also opened page 4: 'case is |⟨φa|φ_l^c⟩|² The average probability' and '|h⟩1|v⟩2) However' both lack a full stop.

Judge's note: Page 7 image, end of the filters paragraph, reads 'were minimize.'; 'minimized' is evidently meant.

• p. 7 third paragraph (alignment)

  between A+ and A−

Judge's note: Page 7 image shows 'A+ and A−' while the same sentence writes Bob's detectors as D_B(45°) and D_B(−45°); page 6 and Fig. 1 use D_A±. Undefined shorthand, with the meaning recoverable.

• p. 8 second paragraph

  Let I(θB) be the coincidence count between DB(θ) and one of Alice’s

Judge's note: Page 8 image shows D_B(θ) with no subscript on θ, while I is written as a function of θ_B and pages 7 and 9 use D_B(θ_B). θ (preparer) and θ_B (Bob) are distinct in the next sentence (θ = 120°, θ_B = −30°).

• p. 8 para after Eq. (11) pointer

  corresponds requires θB = −30◦

• p. 8

  then Alice’s output |c+⟩corresponds requires θB = −30◦.

Judge's note: Page 8 image reads 'corresponds requires'. The value is consistent with Eq. (11): the c+ term β|v⟩+α|h⟩ with α = sin θ, β = cos θ lies at 90° − θ from the horizontal.

• p. 9 para after S result

  if the quantity in (12) greater than 3/4

• p. 9

  then if the quantity in (12) greater than 3/4

Judge's note: Page 9 image reads 'if the quantity in (12) greater than 3/4'; 'is' is missing. The content holds: with I∥ = Imax and I⊥ = Imin, visibility V = 2F − 1, so F = 3/4 gives V = 0.5.

• p. 9 elliptical state paragraph

  quar-ter wave plate was used at Bob’s end

Judge's note: Read page 9 image. The sentence runs "...according to equation (11) quar-ter wave plate was used at Bob's end orientated at angle γB" with no article. Elsewhere the paper writes "a quarter wave plate" (experimental set-up text, Fig. 3 caption). Cosmetic missing word.

Judge's note: Read page 11 image. Every other journal entry prints a bold volume then a page (70, 1895; 51, R1727; 76, 4656; 74, 1259; 75, 4337). The Europhys. Lett. entry has only "559 (1994)", so the citation is incomplete. The correct volume is not in the files, so it is a query for the authors. Reference [6] ends "...“La Sapienza”, July 1995)." with no opening parenthesis for the thesis entry. Reference [2] as a bare "preprint" is not an error. The lower-case "weinfurter" is covered by C021.
