Quantum Nonlocality for a Mixed Entangled Coherent State

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

Quantum nonlocality is tested for an entangled coherent state, interacting with a dissipative environment. A pure entangled coherent state violates Bell's inequality regardless of its coherent amplitude. The higher the initial nonlocality, the more rapidly quantum nonlocality is lost. The entangled coherent state can also be investigated in the framework of 2×22\times2 Hilbert space. The quantum nonlocality persists longer in 2×22\times2 Hilbert space. When it decoheres it is found that the entangled coherent state fails the nonlocality test, which contrasts with the fact that the decohered entangled state is always entangled.
