Probing new physics in the top sector using quantum information
read the original abstract
Recent studies have shown that quantitative concepts from quantum information theory can play a role in analysing collider physics, including elucidating new physics. In this paper, we study various QI measures including magic, trace distance and fidelity distance, in generic new physics scenarios modelled by the Standard Model Effective Field Theory. We argue that such measures can indeed show up differences with respect to the pure Standard Model, and we compare our results with similar findings for the concurrence discussed previously in the literature. We examine the relative sensitivity of different measures to new physics in two-dimensional bins of the top pair invariant mass and scattering angle, finding that the concurrence, magic and trace distance each emerge as the best measure in at least some regions of the phase space. This highlights the importance of exploring multiple quantum information measures in the hunt for beyond the Standard Model physics.

Operational interpretation of the Stabilizer Entropy
The stabilizer Rényi entropy governs the exponential rate at which Clifford orbits become indistinguishable from Haar-random states and sets the optimal distinguishability from stabilizer states in property testing.

Radiation effects on the entanglement of fermion pairs at colliders
Energetic radiation induces decoherence that significantly reduces entanglement in fermion pairs at colliders, with statistically significant signals observable in ttbar(g) at the LHC and tau pairs at Belle II.

Correlation is magic in electronic structure Hamiltonians
For weakly- and moderately-correlated molecular Hamiltonians, 2-stabilizer Renyi entropy of ground states scales linearly with both Hartree-Fock overlap and recovered correlation energy, with the link holding under co...

Quantum Resources and Wigner Symmetry in Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering from Effective Field Theory
Under Wigner's SU(4) symmetry the neutron-proton scattering amplitude generates no new quantum resources while same-nucleon channels do due to identical-particle constraints.
