The phase averaging of a polarization Bell state gives the ensemble density matrixwith by continuity at . This follows from averaging over . An observable's expectation is linear in the density matrix, so averaging the pure-state Bell function is equivalent to evaluating the mixed-state expectation. ThereforeViolation requires . The supplied graph gives the first crossing near radians; solving more accurately givesThe inequality is strict at the upper endpoint. On the sinc function decreases to zero, so this is its only crossing in that interval. For , , excluding later violation windows. The plotted Bell signal shows the same threshold without copying the source illustration.
