• Abstract: The violation of the Bell inequality is one of the hallmarks of quantum mechanics and can be used to rule out local deterministic alternative descriptions. We utilize the data analysis published by the LHCb collaboration on the helicity amplitudes for the decay $B^0\to J/\psi \,K^*(892)^0$ to compute the entanglement among the polarizations of the final vector mesons and the violation of the Bell inequality that it entails. We find that quantum entanglement can be detected with a significance well above 5$\sigma$ (nominally 84$\sigma$) and Bell inequality is violated with a significance well above 5$\sigma$ (nominally 36$\sigma$) -- thereby firmly establishing these distinguishing feature of quantum mechanics at high energies in a collider setting and in the presence of strong and weak interactions. Entanglement is also present and the Bell inequality is violated in other decays of the $B$ mesons into vector mesons, but with lesser significance.

  We show that the present LHCb data allows access to entanglement and to the Bell inequality violation with a significance exceeding the 5$sigma$ threshold. This demonstrates that the strong and electroweak interactions responsible for the $B$ meson decay act as a source of entanglement and the quantum mechanics nature of high-energy phenomena.

We will verify that such non-local point interactions do not exhibit the ultraviolet pathologies that are present in the case of standard local point interactions.

  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

• Bell inequalities and quantum entanglement in weak gauge bosons production at the LHC and future colliders [0.0]
  Quantum entanglement of weak interaction gauge bosons produced at colliders can be explored by computing the corresponding polarization density matrix. We consider the Higgs boson decays $Hto W W*$ and $Hto Z Z*$, in which $W*$ and $Z*$ are off-shell states. We show that a suitable instance of the Bell inequality is violated in $Hto Z Z*$ to a degree that can be tested at the LHC with future data.

  We show that the quantum Beckner's inequalities interpolate between the Sobolev-type inequalities and the Poincar'e inequality. We introduce a new class of quantum transport distances $W_2,p$ interpolating the quantum 2-Wasserstein distance by Carlen and Maas. We prove that the positive Ricci curvature implies the quantum Beckner's inequality, from which a transport cost and Poincar'e inequalities can follow.
