Quantum correlations in terms of neutrino oscillation probabilities
نویسندگان
چکیده
Neutrino oscillations provide evidence for the mode entanglement of neutrino mass eigenstates in a given flavour eigenstate. Given this mode entanglement, it is pertinent to consider the relation between the oscillation probabilities and other quantum correlations. In this work, we show that all the well-known quantum correlations, such as the Bell’s inequality, are directly related to the neutrino oscillation probabilities. The results of the neutrino oscillation experiments, which measure the neutrino survival probability to be less than unity, imply Bell’s inequality violation.

Exact Matter-Covariant Formulation of Neutrino Oscillation Probabilities
We write the probabilities for neutrino oscillations in uniform-density matter exactly in terms of convention-independent vacuum neutrino oscillation parameters and the matter density. This extends earlier results formulating neutrino oscillations in terms of matter-, phase-, and trace-invariant quantities.

متن کاملDamping signatures in future neutrino oscillation experiments
We discuss the phenomenology of damping signatures in the neutrino oscillation probabilities, where either the oscillating terms or the probabilities can be damped. This approach is a possibility for tests of non-oscillation effects in future neutrino oscillation experiments, where we mainly focus on reactor and long-baseline experiments. We extensively motivate different damping signatures due...

Although charged leptons, contrary to neutrinos, cannot oscillate, exploring whether a coherent superposition of charged lepton states can change to others during the propagation is an important problem in the neutrino oscillation theory. In this paper, we consider electrons and muons coming from the pions and W decays and study their propagation in relativistic Bohmian quantum mechanics. We f...
متن کاملParadoxes of Neutrino Oscillations
Despite the theory of neutrino oscillations being rather old, some of its basic issues are still being debated in the literature. We discuss, in the framework of the wave packet approach, a number of such issues, including the relevance of the " same energy " and " same momentum " assumptions, the role of quantum-mechanical uncertainty relations in neutrino oscillations, the dependence of the p...
متن کاملEffective Neutrino Mixing and Oscillations in Dense Matter
We investigate the effective case of two-flavor neutrino oscillations in infinitely dense matter by using a perturbative approach. We begin by briefly summarizing the conditions for the three-flavor neutrino oscillation probabilities to take on the same form as the corresponding two-flavor probabilities. Then, we proceed with the infinitely dense matter calculations. Finally, we study the valid...
