Observable consequences from second-type state vectors of quantum mechanics

Abstract

Starting from a “singlet” state vector for two correlated systems we find an observable whose expectation is 3 according to quantum mechanics, while it has a maximum value of 1 if only state vectors of the first type are considered. This allows a much easier experimental check of the hitherto unobserved state vectors of the second type than suggested by Bell's inequality.
