The $\omega$-Effect from a Multimode Squeezed Graviton State

Abstract

arXiv:2606.24613v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The $\omega$-effect in entangled neutral-meson systems provides a sensitive probe of CPT violation induced by quantum-gravitational environments. In open quantum systems, interactions with inaccessible gravitational degrees of freedom can render the reduced meson dynamics non-unitary, causing the CPT operator to become ill-defined, even when the underlying microscopic Hamiltonian is CPT invariant. We present a microscopic derivation of the $\omega$-effect arising from a multimode squeezed gravitational environment generated by an axion cloud around a Kerr black hole. Using the Takagi decomposition of the associated complex symmetric squeezing kernel, the graviton field is expressed in terms of independent squeezed supermodes possessing anomalous correlators. These correlators provide a microscopic quantum counterpart of the stochastic fluctuations that appear in earlier D-particle foam descriptions of the $\omega$-effect, replacing phenomenological variances of flavour-changing D-particle recoil by calculable graviton correlation functions. After tracing over the graviton bath, the anomalous correlators and the weak-interactions-induced mixing combine to generate transitions between the antisymmetric and symmetric two-meson sectors. This results in a small exchange-symmetric admixture, parametrised by $\omega$, in the otherwise antisymmetric EPR state. We obtain an explicit expression for $\omega$ in terms of a sum over Takagi supermodes weighted by their squeezing amplitudes and phases together with the weak-interaction flavour-mixing matrix element. The resulting framework suggests that the $\omega$-effect may be a generic signature of non-classical states of gravitational environments, extending beyond the specific axion-cloud scenario considered here. The observability of the $\omega$-effect from other astrophysical and microscopic black-hole sources is discussed.
