Test of local realism with entangled kaon pairs and without inequalities.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We propose the use of entangled pairs of neutral kaons, considered as a promising tool to close the well known loopholes affecting generic Bell's inequality tests, in a specific Hardy-type experiment. Hardy's contradiction without inequalities between local realism and quantum mechanics can be translated into a feasible experiment by requiring ideal detection efficiencies for only one of the observables to be alternatively measured. Neutral kaons are near to fulfill this requirement and therefore to close the efficiency loophole.

Local Realistic Theories and Quantum Mechanics for the two–neutral–kaon system
The predictions of local realistic theories for the observables concerning the evolution of a K0K̄0 quantum entangled pair (created in the decay of the φ– meson) are discussed. It is shown, in agreement with Bell’s theorem, that the most general local hidden–variable model fails in reproducing the whole set of quantum–mechanical joint probabilities. We achieve these conclusion by employing two d...
متن کاملBell inequalities for entangled kaons and their unitary time evolution
We investigate Bell inequalities for neutral kaon systems from Φ resonance decay to test local realism versus quantum mechanics. We emphasize the unitary time evolution of the states, that means we also include all decay product states, in contrast to other authors. Only this guarantees the use of the complete Hilbert space. We develop a general formalism for Bell inequalities including both ar...

Recent proposals to test Bell's inequalities with entangled pairs of pseudoscalar mesons are reviewed. This includes pairs of neutral kaons or B–mesons and offers some hope to close both the locality and the detection loopholes. Specific difficulties, however, appear thus invalidating most of those proposals. The best option requires the use of kaon regeneration effects and could lead to a succ...
متن کاملViolation of a Bell inequality in particle physics experimentally verified ?
Relevant aspects for testing Bell inequalities with entangled meson–antimeson systems are analyzed. In particular, we argue that the results of A. Go, J. Mod. Optics 51, 991 (2004), which nicely illustrate the quantum entanglement of B–meson pairs, cannot be considered as a Bell–test refuting local realism.
متن کامل7 Quantum Mechanics with Neutral Kaons ∗
We briefly illustrate a few tests of quantum mechanics which can be performed with entangled neutral kaon pairs at a Φ–factory. This includes a quantitative formulation of Bohr's complementarity principle, the quantum eraser phenomenon and various forms of Bell inequalities.
