abstract

We discuss quantum entanglement in top pair production at the LHC. Near the $t \bar t$ threshold, entanglement observables are enhanced by suppressing the contribution of $q \bar q$ subprocesses, which is achieved by a simple cut on the velocity of the $t \bar t$ system in the laboratory frame. Furthermore, we design new observables that directly measure the relevant combinations of $t\bar t$ spin correlation coefficients involved in the measurement of entanglement and Bell inequalities. As a result, the statistical sensitivity is enhanced, up to a factor of 7 for Bell inequalities near threshold.

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Flavor--Kinetic Entanglement Production from Decay and Scattering at Finite Density

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    At finite density, the leading flavor-kinetic entanglement entropy equals twice the occupation-weighted branch-changing collision probability, and this quantity is used to diagnose first-order versus continuous therma...

  3. Quantum detection of CP violation in the $t\bar{t}$ system: tomography

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Quantum detection of CP violation in the $t\bar{t}$ system: production

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Experimental prospects for quantum decoherence measurements at colliders

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  6. Quantum Tomography and Entanglement in Semi-Leptonic $h\to VV^*$ Decays at Higher Orders

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  7. Extracting a Toponium Signal at the LHC with Spin and Quantum Information Tools

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spin and quantum-information observables add only marginal statistical power beyond kinematic variables for isolating toponium in near-threshold top-pair events, but improve interpretability.

  8. Experimental characterization of the hierarchy of quantum correlations in top quark pairs

    quant-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    LHC top-quark data show quantum discord at >5σ, first evidence for steering at >3σ, no Bell correlations, and nonzero magic.

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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...

    hep-th 2025-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In noncommutative QED, tree-level photon and head-on fermion scattering with opposite helicities give the same concurrence as gluon scattering, maximal at a 90-degree scattering angle, while a right-angle fermion coll...

  12. Quantum tomography beyond the leading order

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    NLO corrections to angular distributions can be subtracted as a background, allowing quantum tomography of H to ZZ to four leptons to be performed with the well-defined leading-order spin interpretation.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    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.

    In top-pair production at the LHC, the quantum-information measures magic, concurrence, trace distance, and fidelity distance each respond most strongly to new physics in different kinematic regions, so no single meas...

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Angular variables built from lepton directions in fully leptonic ttbar decays can distinguish A to Z H from H to Z A cascades in Z ttbar final states at the HL-LHC, reaching 6.4 to 6.5 sigma for 600/800 GeV 2HDM benchmarks.

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    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.
