We would like to thank Hamamatsu for their support of this work. A.K.J. and R.W.B. were supported by a U.S. Department of Defense Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative award. The experiment was devised by J.L., M.J.P., and A.K.J. and performed by J.L., B.J., and J.R. D.I. designed the coincidence-counting electronics. S.M.B. and A.M.Y. formulated the inequalities. The results were interpreted and the manuscript drafted by M.J.P., S.M.B., A.M.Y., J.L., R.W.B., and S.F.A., with further inputs from all authors.
