Abstract
Long-distance Bell-type experiments are presented. The different experiment al challenges and their solutions in order to maintain the strong quantum c orrelations between energy-time entangled photons over more than 10 km are reported and the results analyzed from the point of view of tests of fundam ental physics as well as from the more applied side of quantum communicatio n, especially quantum key distribution. Tests using more than one analyzer on each side are also presented. [S1050-2947(99)00506-5].
