abstract
We study the spin-dependent in-medium dynamics of quarkonia by using the potential nonrelativistic QCD (pNRQCD) and the open quantum system framework. We consider the pNRQCD Lagrangian valid up to the order $\frac{r}{M^0}=r$ and $\frac{r^0}{M}=\frac{1}{M}$ in the double power counting. By considering the Markovian condition and applying the Wigner transformation upon the diagonal spin components of the quarkonium density matrix with the semiclassical expansion, we systematically derive the Boltzmann transport equation for quarkonia with polarization dependence in the quantum optical limit. Unlike the spin-independent collision terms governed by certain chromoelectric field correlators, new gauge invariant correlators of chromomagnetic fields determine the recombination and dissociation terms with polarization dependence at the order we are working. We also derive a Lindblad equation describing the in-medium transitions between spin-singlet and spin-triplet heavy quark-antiquark pairs in the quantum Brownian motion limit. The Lindblad equation is governed by new transport coefficients defined in terms of the chromomagnetic field correlators. Our formalism is generic and valid for both weakly coupled and strongly coupled quark gluon plasmas. It can be further applied to study spin alignment of vector quarkonia in heavy ion collisions.

The role of the soft scale for $J/\psi$ production in the transverse momentum dependent framework
The paper derives new TMD soft transition functions and shows they dominate J/psi production at small transverse momentum by a factor of 1/v over previously used shape functions.

$\psi(2S)$ production in jets using NRQCD
Applying NRQCD fragmenting jet functions and gluon-fragmentation-improved Pythia to psi(2S) in jets, the authors find that the LHCb data favor the Bodwin et al. LDME set and expose large tensions with other extractions.

Is the shear induced spin polarization non-dissipative?
Shear-induced spin polarization leaves the momentum-integrated entropy production rate unchanged in chiral kinetic theory, but Zubarev's linear response suggests a dissipative origin.

Transverse and longitudinal spin alignment from color fields in heavy ion collisions
Spin alignment of phi mesons along the beam direction is predicted to exceed 1/3 for glasma fields and to show a sign-changing rapidity pattern for isotropic QGP color fields, offering a discriminating observable.

Polarization of the $\phi$ meson in the hadronic phase with nucleon scatterings and a viscous hydrodynamic background
Kaon and nucleon rescattering plus viscous corrections in a Fluidum hydrodynamic background yield phi spin alignment consistent with zero, in disagreement with STAR data.
