Measurement of EPR-type flavour entanglement in U(4S) →

Abstract

The neutral B-meson pair produced at the U(4S) should ex- hibit a non-local correlation of the type discussed by Einstein, Podol- ski, and Rosen. The time-dependent flavour asymmetry of the B mesons decaying into flavour eigenstates is used to test such a cor- relation. The asymmetry obtained from semileptonic B 0 decays is in agreement with the prediction from quantum mechanics and far away from the predictions of the local realistic models tested. The observation of partial decoherence in EPR systems could be a sig- nal for New Physics: we have tested for such effects, and found our results are consistent with no decoherence.

Measurement of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-Type Flavor Entanglement in Υ(4S)→B0B¯0 Decays

The neutral B meson pair produced at the Upsilon(4S) should exhibit a nonlocal correlation of the type discussed by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen. We measure this correlation using the time-dependent flavor asymmetry of semileptonic B(0) decays, which we compare with predictions from quantum mechanics and two local realistic models. The data are consistent with quantum mechanics, and inconsistent with the other models. Assuming that some B pairs disentangle to produce B(0) and B(0) with definite flavor, we find a decoherent fraction of 0.029 +/ -0.057, consistent with no decoherence.

Observation of Bell inequality violation in B mesons

A. Go

A pair of B0B0 mesons from γ(45) decay exhibit EPR type non-local particle-antiparticle (flavour) correlation. It is possible to write down the Bell inequality (in the CHSH form: S  2) to test the non-locality assumption of EPR. Using semileptonic B0 decays of γ(4S) at Belle experiment, a clear violation of the Bell inequality in particle-antiparticle correlation is observed:

EntangledBdmesons and genuine T, CP and CPT asymmetry parameters

Miguel R. Nebot

We establish the precise connection between the theoretical T, CP, CPT asymmetries, in terms of transition probabilities between the neutral meson B d states, and the experimental asymmetries, in terms of the double decay rate intensities for Flavour-CP eigenstate decay products in a B-Factory of entangled states. Genuine asymmetry parameters in the time distribution of the asymmetries are identified and their measurability analysed, disentangling genuine and possible fake terms. The nine asymmetry parameters – three different observables for each one of the three symmetries – are expressed in terms of the ingredients of the Weisskopf-Wigner dynamical description of the entangled B d -meson states and we obtain a global fit to their values from the BaBar Collaboration experimental results. The possible fake terms are all compatible with zero. The information content of the nine asymmetry parameters is indeed different. The non-vanishing and are impressive separate direct evidence of Time-Reversal-Violation and CP-Violation in these transitions (and compatible with Standard Model expectations). A 2σ effect for the Re(θ) parameter responsible of CPT-Violation appears; interpreted as an upper limit, it leads to eV at 95% C.L. for the diagonal flavour terms of the mass matrix. Finally, we consider scenarios where, in the presence of quantum gravity fluctuations (space-time foam), the CPT operator may be ill-defined. Its perturbative treatment leads to a modification of the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlation of the neutral meson system by adding an Entanglement-weakening term of the wrong exchange symmetry, the ω -effect. The analysis is extended to identify how to probe the complex ω when the connection between the Intensities for the two time-ordered decays ( f, g ) and ( g, f ) is lost ( f flavour and g CP eigenstate decay channels), and how the ω -effect is disentangled from CPT violation in the evolution Hamiltonian.

EPR in B physics and elsewhere

Harry J. Lipkin

The application of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations in Υ(4s)→BB̄ decays to research in CP violation is the first and probably only use of EPR as a technique for research in new physics. Elsewhere highly sophisticated EPR projects question EPR and test its predictions to look for violations of quantum mechanics, bidden variables, Bell’s inequalities, etc.
