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

A. Bay

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:

A local hidden-variable model violating Bell's inequalities

A. Matzkin

A model for two entangled systems in an EPR setting is shown to reproduce the quantum-mechanical outcomes and expectation values. Each system is represented by a small sphere containing a point-like particle embedded in a field. A quantum state appears as an equivalence class of several possible particle-field configurations. Contrarily to Bell-type hidden variables models, the fields account for the non-commutative aspects of the measurements and deny the simultaneous reality of incompatible physical quantities, thereby allowing to escape EPR's completeness or locality dilemma.

Local hidden-variables can account for EPR quantum correlations
