abstract
We present the first analysis of top spin polarizations, $t \bar t$ spin correlations, and $t \bar t$ spin entanglement at the LHC in the context of the Standard Model Effective Field Theory, that goes beyond Leading Order QCD accuracy. The complete set of independent dimension-6 operators entering $t \bar t$ production is identified, and their effects on all top spin observables are extracted at linear and quadratic order in $c/\Lambda^2$. By comparing results at LO and NLO, we note that the inclusion of higher orders, while not dramatically changing the picture, often amounts to notable numerical differences, that are not fully captured by LO scale variation. We also find that the expected deviations from the SM have an intricate phase space structure, and show up predominantly at large top $p_T$. For this reason, we advocate for the measurement of spin observables differentially or doubly-differentially in the $t \bar t$ phase-space. We show how the inclusion of present and future top spin measurements will improve global fits to top LHC data, by also addressing the issue of flat directions.

Qubit-qubit-qutrit quantum correlations in $H \to f \bar f V$
In h→τ^-τ^+ Z decays, the spin state is genuinely qubit-qubit-qutrit entangled almost everywhere, violates Bell inequalities throughout, and carries up to 1.95 bits of non-local magic.

High Energy Photon Polarimetry at Lepton Colliders: Quantum Information from Converted Photons
Converted photons in Belle II enable high-significance measurements of Bell nonlocality, discord, concurrence, magic and steerability for macroscopically separated GeV diphotons, provided opening-angle resolution reac...

Hadron Structure from the Hierarchy of Quantum Correlations in Deep-Inelastic Scattering
Quantum-information measures of the DIS final electron-quark state are shown to be sensitive to transversity PDFs and can discriminate between different tensor-charge extractions.

Quantum detection of CP violation in the $t\bar{t}$ system: tomography
Polar-angle tomography reconstructs the ttbar production density matrix while b–lepton azimuthal sine modulations linearly probe CP-odd Wtb decay couplings, separating production from decay CP violation.

Quantum detection of CP violation in the $t\bar{t}$ system: production
CP-odd SMEFT top interactions appear as ΔB and antisymmetric C_A in the tt̄ production density matrix; direct markers beat most QI measures for CP sensitivity at LHC and FCC-ee.

Experimental prospects for quantum decoherence measurements at colliders
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.

Quantum Tomography and Entanglement in Semi-Leptonic $h\to VV^*$ Decays at Higher Orders
Semi-leptonic h→VV* decays retain an effective two-qutrit quantum description under NLO QCD and electroweak corrections, unlike the fully leptonic h→4ℓ channel.

Experimental characterization of the hierarchy of quantum correlations in top quark pairs
LHC top-quark data show quantum discord at >5σ, first evidence for steering at >3σ, no Bell correlations, and nonzero magic.

Entanglement, Yang-Mills, and the Scattering Matrix as an SU(N)-equivariant Kernel
SU(N) symmetry fixes the entangling power of 2→2 scattering: Yang-Mills adjoint scattering has a group-only entanglement maximum at 90° (3/4 for SU(2), ≈0.91 for SU(3)), and maximal-entanglement preservation selects t...

Spin versus Magic: Lessons from Gluon and Graviton Scattering
For 2 to 2 scattering of massless spin-1/2 to spin-2 particles, the averaged generated magic decreases monotonically with spin, with maxima well below the two-qubit upper bound.

Quantum spin correlations in $Z^\prime$-mediated $t\bar{t}$ production at future lepton colliders
Quantum spin observables of t-bar-t pairs at future lepton colliders can distinguish chiral U(1)_X Z′ charge assignments, and polarized e−e+ beams isolate left- vs right-handed lepton couplings.

Colliders are Testing neither Locality via Bell's Inequality nor Entanglement versus Non-Entanglement
Collider measurements of final-state momenta alone cannot certify Bell nonlocality or entanglement, because the measured angular distribution is itself a local hidden variable model.
