... a lot!!
Is there nonlocality also in high energy
systems? Are Bell inequalities violated?

The EPR scenario
1935: Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen-PARADOX
Completeness of the theory: “Every
element of the physical reality must
have a counterpart in the theory”
 Quantum theory is not complete!
Discrete 2008, Beatrix C. Hiesmayr
What are Bell inequalities?
No spooky action
at distance!
realism
locality
free will
Local realistic theories:
Quantum Mechanics:
P (a , b)  P (a , c )  P (c , b)
inequalities for probabilities
 always satisfied!
quantum mechanical
probabilities may violate
the inequalities!
Experiment has to decide!

Can we violate the BI for a certain initial

Hiesmayr, Eur. Phys. J. C (2007)
YES!!
The maximal violation is obtained
for a non-maximal entangled state Smax  2.15

Different view on CP violation (1)
Hiesmayr, Huber Phys. Lett. A (2007)
Bohr’s principle of complementarity:
Quantum systems possess properties
that are equally real but mutually exclusive!
wave-particle duality
Interferometric duality:
The observation of an interference pattern and
the adquisition of which-way information are
mutually exclusive!

CP violation shifts
obtainable information
to different aspects of
reality!
Discrete 2008, Beatrix C. Hiesmayr
Summary/Outlook:
• CP violation implies nonlocality
• CP violation shifts obtainable information to different
aspects of reality
• kaons provide a ``dynamical´´ nonlocality
• nonlocality and entanglement are different quantum
features
for quantum particles with more
degrees of freedom
Hiesmayr, Huber, Spengler; in preparation
direct experimental test of BI are highly desired!
(open: if non—maximal entangled states can be produced in experiment)
Outlook:
BI with regenerators:
