abstract

A quantum system consisting of two subsystems is separable if its density matrix can be written as $\rho=\sum_A w_A\,\rho_A'\otimes\rho_A''$, where $\rho_A'$ and $\rho_A''$ are density matrices for the two subsytems. In this Letter, it is shown that a necessary condition for separability is that a matrix, obtained by partial transposition of $\rho$, has only non-negative eigenvalues. This criterion is stronger than Bell's inequality.

    quant-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-quantized gravity models that preserve Galilean invariance and reproduce Newtonian interaction on average require a minimal noise injection to remain non-entangling.

    cond-mat.str-el 2022-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Proves exact separability for disconnected subsystems in dimer RK states and exponentially suppressed entanglement for RVB states on arbitrary lattices, with negativity expressed via partition functions.

  8. Quantum spin correlations in $Z^\prime$-mediated $t\bar{t}$ production at future lepton colliders

    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.

  9. New quantum information perspectives in the axion--photon and neutrino systems

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Axion-photon oscillations generate bipartite mode entanglement with maximal values at resonance, and quantum speed limits are derived for both axion-photon and neutrino systems.

    In a free scalar lattice model, numerical calculations show Rényi entanglement of purification is at least half the Rényi reflected entropy for 0 < n < 2 in the small subsystems tested.

    For a Haar-random model of an evaporating black hole, the q-partite Renyi multi-entropy of the black hole plus q-1 radiation subsystems peaks at a multi-entropy time later than the Page time and does not vanish at com...

  12. Understanding Bell locality tests at colliders

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Under mild assumptions, local hidden variable theories become testable at colliders and can be disproved via Bell-like inequalities for muon and tau pairs.

  13. Colliders are not Testing Locality via Bell's Inequality nor Providing an Unconditional Proof of Entanglement

    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.

    hep-ph 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Off-diagonal NSI parameters modify EOF, Concurrence and Negativity in neutrino oscillations, with largest effects at low energy and Negativity remaining dominant at higher energies while showing clear δ_CP dependence.
