Note that this and some other papers go at some stage beyond quantum mechanics and need the density matrix formalism. Within conventional quantum mechanics, computing \A\2 via Eq. (2.5) or the density matrix formalism is the same, however.
32. L. The easiest way to check the inconsistency of this point is to go to the CP-conserving limit and keep the exact AS=AQ rule. One obtains then, for instance, Tt[Ovvps]=l- and Tr[Oπe+pj] = Tr[oπe-vps]=l/2 thus violating the correct normalization of the probabilities (2.10). Stated otherwise, the proposal to measure probabilities involving A'/s by counting / decay events does not define a one-to-one mapping between Kf and/ to be used automatically in a quantitative way. Counting, for instance, the TTTT decay events in an initial Ks beam will not yield a probability equal to one. The point is of course that there are other decay modes such as the semileptonic one into which the same kaon can decay. Obviously, these comments do not exclude a proportionality relation between the probabilities (2.10) and the joint decay rale (2.8) as we will give in Eq. (2.22).
33. We have found that a similar definition of Kf have been used in H. Lipkin, Phys. Rev. 176, 1715 (1968).

41. 2,τ) violates Eq. (3.7) provided the parameter ε which signals direct CP violation in the K°-K° system is nonzero (see Ref. [10] for a definition of e'). It was then concluded that any measure of ε′≠0 is a test of the Bell inequalities with no need of a direct check. There is, however, no automatism "ε′≠0, then local realism is ruled out." Or, not every measure of e' is a test of local realism and quantum mechanics. It is known otherwise also that the quantum mechanical predictions violate the Bell inequalities. This does not spare us the experiment to confirm or reject this result. At the end Bell inequalities and related expressions for kaons address the question, how entangled kaons behave.
