BRST invariant formulation of the Bell-CHSH inequality in gauge field theories

arXiv:2304.01028 · doi:10.21468/SciPostPhys.15.5.201

Abstract

A study of the Bell-CHSH inequality in gauge field theories is presented. By using the Kugo-Ojima analysis of the BRST charge cohomology in Fock space, the Bell-CHSH inequality is formulated in a manifestly BRST invariant way. The examples of the free four-dimensional Maxwell theory and the Abelian Higgs model are scrutinized. The inequality is probed by using BRST invariant squeezed states, allowing for large Bell-CHSH inequality violations, close to Tsirelson's bound. An illustrative comparison with the entangled state of two spin particles in Quantum Mechanics is provided.
