120. 50 years of Bell's theorem and Weak Interaction Processes

John St. Bell was known and hired as a "particle physicist" when he came up with his work on hidden parameters. The aim of this talk is to discuss whether his theorem can be brought back to those systems that do not build up ordinary matter and light. Indeed, entanglement can be witnessed in decay processes governed by the weak interaction, e.g., in flavour oscillating systems or hyperon...

4. Whispers from the collapse of the w.f: spontaneously emitted radiation

The “measurement problem” in quantum mechanics continues to remain a problem which needs an explanation. A possible solution to this problem is the modification of the Schrodinger equation within the so-called dynamical reduction models. The dynamical reduction models were put forward alternatively to the "standard" quantum mechanics' Schrodinger equation, followed by a "alla von Neumann"...
