Working in the framework of the Color Glass Condensate effective theory of high energy QCD, we revisit the momentum space entanglement entropy of the soft gluons produced in high energy dilute-dense collisions. We extend the work of~\cite{Kovner:2015hga} by considering entropy produced in a single event. This entropy arises due to decoherence of eigenstates with different energies during the time evolution after the collisions with the target. We define it rigorously as the entanglement entropy of the produced system with the experimental apparatus. We compute the time dependent single event entropy in the limit of weak projectile field. Further we compute the entropy for the ensemble of events defined by the McLerran-Venugopalan model for the projectile wave function. Interestingly the entropy of the ensemble has a much weaker time dependence than the entropy in any single event. We attribute this feature to the so called monogamy of entanglement.

  1. Quantum entanglement within quarkonium

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Quark-antiquark entanglement entropy in quarkonium is derived from light-front wave functions, reduces to the Shannon entropy of TMDs, and shows strong polarization dependence for spin-1 mesons.

  2. 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.

  3. Quantum entanglement between partons in a strongly coupled quantum field theory

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In unquenched scalar Yukawa theory, parton entanglement entropy encodes quantum information that cannot be reduced to Shannon entropy of parton distributions.

  4. 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.
