Fidelity of states can be used to judge whether there is entanglement in multi-particle systems. It is well known that quantum channel security in QKD can be estimated by measuring the robustness of Bell-type inequality against noise. We experimentally investigate a new Bell-type inequality (NBTI) in the three-photon Greenberger\u2013Horne\u2013Zeilinger (GHZ) states with different levels of spin-flip noise. The results show that the fidelity and the degree of violation of the NBTI decrease monotonically with the increase of noise intensity. They also provide a method to judge whether there is entanglement in three-particle mixed states.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/e23111514","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,15]],"date-time":"2021-11-15T08:19:20Z","timestamp":1636964360000},"page":"1514","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Experimental Investigation of the Robustness of a New Bell-Type Inequality of Triphoton GHZ States in Open Systems"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Jiaqiang","family":"Zhao","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Weifang University, Weifang 261061, China"}]},{"given":"Meijiao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Weifang University, Weifang 261061, China"}]},{"given":"Lianzhen","family":"Cao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Weifang University, Weifang 261061, China"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Weifang University, Weifang 261061, China"}]},{"given":"Xia","family":"Liu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Weifang University, Weifang 261061, China"}]},{"given":"Qinwei","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Weifang University, Weifang 261061, China"}]},{"given":"Huaixin","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Weifang University, Weifang 261061, China"}]},{"given":"Kellie Ann","family":"Driscoll","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Physics and Optoelectronic Engineering, Weifang University, Weifang 261061, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"777","DOI":"10.1103\/PhysRev.47.777","article-title":"Can quantum mechanical description of physical reality really be considered complete?","volume":"47","author":"Einstein","year":"1935","journal-title":"Phys.
