In this talk given at the TAU92 Workshop, Columbus, OH, Sept. 92, we summarize results presented in more detail in a recent paper by S. Abel, M. Dittmar and the author where we gave a general proof that Bell's inequality can not be tested at a collider experiment. In particular, a measurement of correlated tau-spins at LEP does not constitute a test of local realistic theories via Bell's inequality. The central point of the argument is that such tests, where the spins of two particles are inferred from a scattering distribution, can always be described by a local hidden variable theory. In response to questions at the workshop we go beyond the paper and show that an old experiment involving the measurement of the correlated spins of the two photons emitted in positronium decay via Compton-scattering is also not a viable test of Bell's inequality.

  1. Controlling Quantum discord and steering in Electron-Positron Annihilation Using Polarized Beams

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Polarized lepton beams control quantum discord and steering in hyperon-antihyperon pairs from e+e- annihilation, with discord persisting in separable states via transverse polarization.

  2. Entanglement redistribution of hyperon-antihyperon pair via sequential decay

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In e+e−→ψ→Ξ(→Λπ)Ξ̄(→Λ̄π), the ΛΛ̄ pair's concurrence and negativity can decrease relative to the mother pair yet stay nonzero except at θ=0 and π, while quantum discord can always increase.

  3. Manipulating Bell nonlocality and entanglement in polarized electron-positron annihilation

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Polarized lepton beams can tune hyperon-antihyperon entanglement and Bell nonlocality, with transverse polarization capable of producing maximally entangled pairs.

  4. Revealing the Two-Fold Ambiguity: Tau Momentum Reconstruction and Its Impact on Entanglement Observables

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    SVD-based numerical method reconstructs the two-fold ambiguous tau momenta in pi nu decays and shows entanglement observables remain extractable despite unresolved solutions.

  5. Colliders are Testing neither Locality via Bell's Inequality nor Entanglement versus Non-Entanglement

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Collider measurements of final-state momenta alone cannot certify Bell nonlocality or entanglement, because the measured angular distribution is itself a local hidden variable model.
