Abstract

Bell’s inequality is investigated in parity-time (PT) symmetric quantum mechanics, using a recently developed form of the inequality by Maccone, with two PT-qubits in the unbroken phase with real energy spectrum. It is shown that the inequality produces a bound that is consistent with the standard quantum mechanics even after using Hilbert space equipped with CPT inner product and therefore, the entanglement has identical structure with standard quantum mechanics. Consequently, the no-signaling principle for a two-qubit system in PT-symmetric quantum theory is preserved.
