Bell–inequalities for Entangled Pairs of Neutral Kaons
نویسندگان
چکیده
We extend the use of Bell–inequalities to Φ → K0K̄0 decays by exploiting analogies and differences to the well–known and experimentally verified singlet– spin case. Contrasting with other analyses, our Bell–inequalities are violated by quantum mechanics and can strictly be derived from local realistic theories. In principle, quantum mechanics could then be tested using unstable, oscillating states governed by a CP–violating Hamiltonian. e-mail address: [email protected] e-mail address: [email protected]

7 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.
متن کاملTest of local realism with entangled kaon pairs and without inequalities.
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 ob...
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 کاملStrangeness Measurements of Kaon Pairs, Cp Violation and Bell Inequalities
The nonlocal property of quantum mechanics can be nicely tested in high energy physics; in particular, the neutral kaon pairs as produced at DAΦNE, Frascati, are very well suited. The analogies of kaons as compared to polarized photons or spin– 1 2 particles —the kaonic qubit feature— are reviewed. However, there are also fundamental differences which occur due to the kaon time evolution and du...
