• Abstract: It has been advocated by Bell and Bohm that the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations are mediated through faster-than-light (FTL) interactions. In a previous paper a way to avoid causal paradoxes derived from this FTL hypothesis (via the breakdown of Lorentz symmetry) has been suggested. Lorentz transformations would remain valid, but there would be no equivalence between active and passive Lorentz transformations in the case of EPR correlations. Some counterintuitive consequences of this assumption are briefly examined here.

  We investigate whether purely virtual tachyons can be consistent within the fakeon framework.<n>We identify two fatal obstructions. First, Lorentz boosts mix creation and annihilation operators, rendering the canonical commutation relations non-invariant.<n>Second, the real part of the tachyon Feynman propagator and Wheeler propagator have disjoint support, preventing application of both the fakeon prescription and Wheeler-Feynman absorber mechanism.

• Lorentz violation alleviates gravitationally induced entanglement degradation [5.204468823134696]
  We study the effects of Lorentz violation on quantum entanglement through a black hole spacetime that is coupled with a Lorentz-violating field. We find that the coupling between spacetime and the Lorentz-violating vector field alleviates gravity-induced entanglement degradation. This suggests that investigating Lorentz violation at astrophysical scales requires low-frequency detectors.

• Test of transient deviations from Quantum Mechanics in Bell's experiment [41.94295877935867]
  The conflict between Quantum Mechanics (QM) and Local Realism is most noticeable in the correlations observed between distant regions of a spatially spread entangled state. It has been hypothesized that transient deviations (from the values predicted by QM) may be observed if the correlations are measured in a time shorter than L/c. We present the results of such a test performed on a specially designed optical Bell setup with a distance between stations up to 24 m in straight line.

• Complete complementarity relations and its Lorentz invariance [0.0]
  It is well known that entanglement under Lorentz boosts is highly dependent on the boost scenario in question. We show here that entanglement entropy does not remain invariant under Lorentz boosts, and neither do the measures of predictability and coherence. In addition, we explore relativistic scenarios for single and two particle states, which helps in understanding the exchange of different aspects of a quantum system under Lorentz boosts.

  We demonstrate how quantum time dilation manifests in a spontaneous emission process. The resulting emission rate differs when compared to the emission rate of an atom prepared in a mixture of momentum wave packets. We argue that spectroscopic experiments offer a technologically feasible platform to explore the effects of quantum time dilation.

We show that closed light-pulse interferometers without clock transitions during the pulse sequence are not sensitive to gravitational time dilation in a linear potential.
