How this entity was disambiguated
This entity first appeared as the object of triple T4706891 — resolving that mention is where its identity was fixed. The disambiguator weighed these candidate entities and picked the highlighted one (or “None”, minting a new entity). This is how homonymy is resolved: the same surface form can point to different entities.

A.
Aspect experiment on Bell inequality tests (1982)
The Aspect experiment on Bell inequality tests (1982) was a landmark series of quantum physics experiments that provided strong evidence for quantum entanglement and the violation of Bell's inequalities, challenging local hidden-variable theories.
-
B.
Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox
The Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox is a thought experiment that challenges the completeness of quantum mechanics by highlighting the strange, nonlocal correlations predicted for entangled particles.
-
C.
Frauchiger–Renner paradox
The Frauchiger–Renner paradox is a thought experiment in quantum foundations that extends Wigner’s friend scenario to argue that standard quantum theory cannot consistently describe its own use by multiple observers.
-
D.
Wigner’s friend thought experiment
Wigner’s friend thought experiment is a foundational quantum mechanics scenario that explores the role of observers and consciousness in measurement by considering how different observers can assign conflicting quantum states to the same system.
-
E.
Bennett–Brassard 1984 protocol
The Bennett–Brassard 1984 protocol is the first quantum key distribution scheme, using quantum properties of photons to enable two parties to establish a shared secret key with security guaranteed by the laws of quantum mechanics.
- F. None of above. chosen
- G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.

How these facts were elicited
The pipeline generated the facts above by prompting gpt-5.1 with this entity's name + description and the instruction below.
Instruction
You are a knowledge base construction expert. Given a subject entity and a description of it, return factual statements that you know for the subject as a JSON list of dictionaries(triples), where keys must be "subject", "predicate" and "object". The number of facts may be very high, between 25 to 50 or more, for very popular subjects. For less popular subjects, the number of facts can be very low, like 5 or 10. # Requirements - If you don't know the subject at all, return an empty list. - If the subject is not a named entity, return an empty list. - Include at least one triple where predicate is "instanceOf". - Do not get too wordy. - Separate several objects into multiple triples with one object.
Input
Subject: Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequality Description of subject: The Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequality is a key formulation of Bell's inequality used in quantum mechanics to test the incompatibility of local hidden variable theories with the predictions of quantum entanglement.
