摘要:

区分量子力学和局域实在理论的贝尔型不等式的实验检验,如果在大质量粒子上进行,仍然是相当有趣的,对此还没有得到结论性的结果。只有双粒子实验可以具体测试量子理论中的空间非定域性概念,而单粒子实验通常可以测试量子非上下文性概念。在这里,我们用一束处于自旋单重态的热中子对进行了第一次贝尔型实验,正如最初由J。贝尔这些测量证实了量子理论的预测,与多年前对可见光子进行的著名偏振实验的结果一致。

英文摘要:

Experimental tests of Bell-type inequalities distinguishing between quantum mechanics and local realistic theories remain of considerable interest if performed on massive particles, for which no conclusive result has yet been obtained. Only two-particle experiments may specifically test the concept of spatial nonlocality in quantum theory, whereas single-particle experiments may generally test the concept of quantum noncontextuality. Here we have performed the first Bell-type experiment with a beam of thermal-neutron pairs in the singlet state of spin, as originally suggested by J. S. Bell. These measurements confirm the quantum-theoretical predictions, in agreement with the results of the well-known polarization experiments carried out on optical photons years ago.
