We compute the entanglement entropy of soft gluons in the wave function of a fast moving hadron and discuss its basic properties. We also derive the expression for entropy production in a high energy hadronic collision within the Color Glass formalism. We show that long range rapidity correlations give negative contribution to the production entropy. We calculate the (naturally defined) temperature of the produced system of particles, and show that it is proportional to the average transverse momentum of the produced particles.

  1. The Maximal Entanglement Limit in Statistical and High Energy Physics

    quant-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quantum systems reach a Maximal Entanglement Limit where entanglement geometry produces thermal reduced density matrices and probabilistic behavior in statistical and high-energy physics.

  2. Quantum entanglement in electron-nucleus collisions: Role of the linearly polarized gluon distribution

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    The linearly polarized gluon distribution enhances entanglement of heavy quark pairs in electron-nucleus collisions when total and relative transverse momenta are orthogonal.

  3. Entanglement entropy, Monte Carlo event generators, and soft gluons DIScovery

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Including soft gluons in Monte Carlo generators for DIS aligns parton distributions with inclusive PDFs and makes entropy grow with decreasing x, indicating initial-state origin of the bulk entropy.
