چکیده
Relevant aspects for testing Bell inequalities with entangled meson–antimeson systems are analyzed. In particular, we argue that the results of A. Go, J. Mod. Optics 51, 991 (2004), which nicely illustrate the quantum entanglement of B–meson pairs, cannot be considered as a Bell–test refuting local realism.

Increasing the statistical significance of entanglement detection in experiments.
Entanglement is often verified by a violation of an inequality like a Bell inequality or an entanglement witness. Considerable effort has been devoted to the optimization of such inequalities in order to obtain a high violation. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that such an optimization does not necessarily lead to a better entanglement test, if the statistical error is taken int...
متن کاملPhoton-Pair States and Violation of CHSH Inequality
Entangled states are important for quantum cryptography, being used in several protocols of quantum key distribution. These provide an alternative to single-photon-based protocols. Entangled states are also important in fundamental terms, in the way that the behavior of these states is contradictory with the predicted by local theories. This contradiction is shown by the violation of Bell’s ine...
متن کاملStronger-Than-Quantum Correlations
After an elementary derivation of Bell’ s inequality, classical, quantum mechanical , and stronger-than-quantum correlation functions for 2-particle-systems are discussed. Special functions are investigated which give rise to an extreme violation of Bell’ s inequality by the value of 4. Referring to a specific quantum system it is shown that under certain conditions such an extreme violation wo...
متن کاملMermin’s n-particle Bell inequality and operators ’ noncommutativity
The relationship between the noncommutativity of operators and the violation of the Bell inequality is exhibited in the light of the n-particle Bell-type inequality discovered by Mermin [Phys. Rev. Lett. 65 (1990) 1838]. It is shown, in particular, that the maximal amount of violation of Mermin’s inequality predicted by quantum mechanics decreases exponentially by a factor of 2 whenever any m a...
