Tests of non-local interferences in kaon physics at asymmetric [phi]-factories

P.H. Eberhard

Tests of non-local interference effects in the two-kaon system are proposed. The first kind of tests consists of measuring the amount of destructive interference between K[sub S] [yields] K[sub L] regeneration processes of two distant kaons. The second kind deals with constructive interference. These tests could be performed at an asymmetric [phi]-factory. Estimates are given of the number of events predicted by orthodox quantum mechanics and kaon regeneration theory in various suitable experimental conditions. The impact on local theories if the predictions of quantum mechanics hold is discussed.

Test of quantum nonlocality via vector meson decays to KSKS

P. C. Jiang, Xuan Wang, Da-Yong Wang

In the system of a pair of quantum-entangled neutral kaons from meson decays, when one kaon collapses into the [Formula: see text] state, the other will collapse instantaneously into the [Formula: see text] state, due to entanglement and nonlocality. However, if the alternative hypothesis is correct and there is a time window during which one kaon is unaware that the other has decayed, some quantum mechanically prohibited [Formula: see text] decays may occur. We calculate the branching ratios of [Formula: see text] in vector meson decays under locality hypothesis and compare them with experimental results. We show that the branching ratio of [Formula: see text] under locality assumption is already excluded by the BESIII experimental upper limit. Additional experimental results are proposed to perform this test in the future.
