Quantum correlations in two-flavour neutrino oscillations
Year: 2014
Type: preprint
Abstract: Neutrino oscillations provide evidence for the mode entanglement of neutrino mass eigenstates in a given flavour eigenstate. Given this mode entanglement, it is pertinent to ask if other quantum correlations are present in neutrino evolution. In this study, we compute a number of such correlations for accelerator neutrinos in the approximation of two flavour nu_{mu} nu_{tau} oscillations. The point of minimum survival probability corresponds to the extremum point of all measures of quantum correlations. We find that Bell's inequality is always violated.
