abstract
Recent measurements at the Large Hadron Collider have observed entanglement in the spins of $t\bar t$ pairs. The effects of radiation, which are expected to lead to quantum decoherence and a reduction of entanglement, are generally neglected in such measurements. In this work we calculate the effects of decoherence from various different types of radiation for a maximally entangled pair of fermions -- a bipartite system of qubits in a Bell state. We identify the Kraus operators describing the evolution of the open quantum system with the integrated Altarelli-Parisi splitting functions.

An automated framework in MadGraph5_aMC@NLO computes tree-level production spin-density matrices and quantum observables for generic collider processes, with validation on ttbar and VV and new applications to multi-top final states.
Computes entanglement negativities for the tripartite spin system in e+e- -> ttZ and projects that collective entanglement is accessible but genuine multipartite entanglement has limited sensitivity at a polarized ILC with expected luminosity.
Hard final-state radiation measurably destroys the spin entanglement of fermion-antifermion pairs, and the effect should already be visible in LHC ttbar+jet and Belle II tau+tau-gamma data.
Transverse polarization in e+e- collisions generates maximally entangled fermion pairs in QED processes and boosts entanglement in electroweak and Bhabha scattering.
Under mild assumptions, local hidden variable theories become testable at colliders and can be disproved via Bell-like inequalities for muon and tau pairs.
