Bound on dissipative effects from semileptonic neutral B-meson decays
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini, S. Marcantoni +2
The semileptonic decay asymmetry is studied within the open quantum systems approach to the physics of the neutral meson - system: this exte…
Dissipative neutrino oscillations in randomly fluctuating matter
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
The generalized dynamics describing the propagation of neutrinos in randomly fluctuating media is analyzed: it takes into account matter-induced, decoherence phenomena that go beyo…
Neutral kaons in random media
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini, R. Romano
The generalized dynamics describing the propagation of neutral kaons in randomly fluctuating media is derived and analyzed. It takes into account possible matter-induced effects le…
Massless neutrino oscillations
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
Quantum dynamical semigroups provide a general framework for studying the evolution of open systems. Neutrino propagation both in vacuum and in matter can be analyzed using these t…
Irreversibility and dissipation in neutral B-meson decays
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini, R. Romano
The propagation and decay of neutral B-mesons can be described in terms of quantum dynamical semigroups; they provide generalized time-evolutions that take into account possible no…
Effective dissipative dynamics for polarized photons
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
In the framework of open quantum systems, the propagation of polarized photons can be effectively described using quantum dynamical semigroups. These extended time-evolutions induc…
Open system approach to neutrino oscillations
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
Neutrino oscillations are studied in the general framework of open quantum systems by means of extended dynamics that take into account possible dissipative effects. These new phen…
CPT, dissipation, and all that
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
A phenomenological paradigm for the study of CPT-violating effects in the neutral kaon system is presented. Besides the familiar direct and indirect breakings, it encodes possible…
Direct CP-violation as a test of quantum mechanics
Fabio Benatti, Roberto Floreanini
Direct CP-violating effects in the neutral kaon system result in violations of certain Bell-like inequalities. The new experimental results on the determination of the phenomenolog…
Complete positivity and correlated neutral kaons
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
In relation with experiments on correlated kaons at phi-factories, it is shown that the request of complete positivity is necessary in any physically consistent description of neut…
On Bell's locality tests with neutral kaons
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
We present some general considerations on possible experimental tests of Bell's locality in the neutral kaon system, and comment on the recent literature on the topic.
Comment on ``Searching for Evolutions of Pure States into Mixed States in the Two-State System K-K''
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
It has been recently proposed to study generic dynamical evolutions of the neutral kaon system that go beyond quantum mechanics. We explicitly show that, unless the condition of co…
epsilon'/epsilon violates Bell's inequality
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
We formulate a set of Bell's inequalities for the system of two correlated neutral kaons coming from the decay of a phi-meson, without assuming CP and CPT invariance. We show that…
Completely positive dynamics of correlated neutral kaons
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
We study the behaviour of correlated neutral kaons produced in phi-meson decays under the hypothesis that the quantum mechanical time-evolution is completely positive. We show that…
Experimental limits on complete positivity from the K-K system
F. Benatti, R. Floreanini
Available data on measured observables allow deriving estimates for some of the phenomenological parameters that characterize the time-evolution and decay of the neutral kaon syste…
