Abstract
Quantum entanglement is an essential resource in quantum information processing, which needs to be verified in many tasks such as quantum cryptography and computation. Due to imperfect detection devices when implementing measurements, the conventional entanglement witness method could wrongly conclude a separable state to be entangled. Inspired by the attacks in quantum key distribution, we construct and experimentally realize a time-shift attack on the conventional entanglement witness process. We demonstrate that any separable state can be falsely identified to be entangled. In order to close detection loopholes, we design and experimentally realize a measurement-device-independent entanglement witness for various two- qubit states. We demonstrate that an entanglement witness can be realized without detection loopholes.
