چکیده

Recent experiments of Gröblacher et al. proved the violation of a Leggett-type inequality that was claimed to be valid for a broad class of non-local hidden-variable theories. The impossibility of constructing a non-local and realistic theory, unless it entails highly counter-intuitive features, seems thus to have been experimentally proved. This would bring us close to a definite refutation of realism. Indeed, realism was proved to be also incompatible with locality, according to a series of experiments testing Bell inequalities. The present paper addresses the said experiments of Gröblacher et al. and presents an explicit, contextual and realistic, model that reproduces the predictions of quantum mechanics. It thus violates the Leggett-type inequality that was established with the aim of ruling out a supposedly broad class of non-local models. We can thus conclude that plausible contextual, realistic, models are still tenable. This restates the possibility of a future completion of quantum mechanics by a realistic and contextual theory which is not in a class containing only highly counterin-tuitive models. The class that was ruled out by the experiments of Gröblacher et al. is thus proved to be a limited one, arbitrarily separating models that physically belong in the same class.

In this paper, we study the one-level Friedrichs model with using the quantum time super-operator that predicts the excited state decay inside the continuum. Its survival probability in long time limit is an algebraically decreasing function and an exponentially decreasing multiplied by the oscillating functions.
