A factorization framework and two-qubit description allow photon pairs at lepton colliders to be treated as qubits for measuring Bell inequality violation, quantum discord, and nonstabilizerness using Belle data.

abstract
We calculate the spin density matrix of a back-to-back quark-antiquark pair inclusively produced in electron-nucleus scattering, taking into account the gluon saturation effect and the linearly polarized gluon distribution. We then investigate concurrence and stabilizer R\'enyi entropy, quantifying entanglement, Bell-nonlocality, and magic. We find that the linearly polarized gluon distribution tends to enhance the entanglement of a heavy quark pair when the total and relative transverse momenta of the pair are orthogonal.

Subleading soft-gluon recoil rotates the heavy-quark spin-correlation plane; tracing over unresolved radiation dephases in-plane coherences while protecting the normal-axis correlation.
Scalar Lambda-pair spin correlations leave a continuous density-matrix degeneracy; full tensor tomography is required to claim entanglement, and a ³P₀ benchmark predicts a specific anisotropy pattern.
An upper bound on concurrence is derived for fixed local polarizations in two-qubit systems, saturated by pure states in some cases, and applied to show reduced maximal entanglement in polarized q qbar pairs from parity-violating Z decays.
Polarized lepton beams control quantum discord and steering in hyperon-antihyperon pairs from e+e- annihilation, with discord persisting in separable states via transverse polarization.
The reciprocal symmetry of the KNO-violating term yields the new constraint δ₃=0 at n=⟨n⟩ (untestable at present precision), fails globally at 13 TeV, and the derived entropy S=ln⟨n⟩+I₀−½∫e^{-z}f_s²dz matches ATLAS data at 10⁻³.

Higher-order local constraints from reciprocal symmetry and entanglement entropy of charged-particle multiplicity distributions in $pp$ collisions
The reciprocal symmetry of the KNO-violating term yields the new constraint δ₃=0 at n=⟨n⟩ (untestable at present precision), fails globally at 13 TeV, and the derived entropy S=ln⟨n⟩+I₀−½∫e^{-z}f_s²dz matches ATLAS data at 10⁻³.
