Klyachko–Can–Binicioglu–Shumovsky (KCBS) inequality is a Bell-like inequality,the violation of which can be used to confirm the existence of quantum contextuality.However,the imperfection of detection efficiency may cause the so-called loophole in actual KCBS’s experiments.We derive an alternative KCBS inequality to deal with the loophole in actual KCBS’s experiments.We prove that if the experimental data violate this KCBS inequality,the loophole-free violation of the original KCBS inequality will occur.We show that the minimum detection efficiency needed for a loophole-free violation of the KCBS inequality is about 0.9738.
