Subalgebra of group algebra generated by idempotents

Let $G$ be a finite group, and let $A$ and $B$ be two abelian subgroups of $G$. Let $K$ be a number field such that all characters of $A$ and of $B$ take values in $K$. Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be the ring ...

Existence of $\sqrt{2}$ in a finite group algebra over $\mathbb{Q}$

I cannot find a finite group $G$ such that $\exists x\in \mathbb{Q}[G]$ with $x^2=2e$, where $\mathbb{Q}[G]$ is the group algebra of $G$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. I also could not prove it does not exist. ...
