abstract

We present a feasibility study to probe quantum entanglement and Belle inequality violation in the process $\textrm{e}^{+}\textrm{e}^{-} \rightarrow \tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ at a center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 10.579$ GeV. The sensitivity of the analysis is enhanced by applying a selection on the scattering angle $\vartheta$ in the $\tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ center-of-mass frame. We analyze events in which both $\tau$ leptons decay to hadrons, using a combination of decay channels $\tau^{-} \rightarrow \pi^{-}\nu_{\tau}$, $\tau^{-} \rightarrow \pi^{-}\pi^{0}\nu_{\tau}$, and $\tau^{-} \rightarrow \pi^{-}\pi^{+}\pi^{-}\nu_{\tau}$. The spin orientation of the $\tau$ leptons in these decays is reconstructed using the polarimeter-vector method. Assuming a dataset of $200$ million $\tau^{+}\tau^{-}$ events and accounting for experimental resolutions, we expect the observation of quantum entanglement and Bell inequality violation by the Belle-II experiment will be possible with a significance well in excess of five standard deviations.

    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.

    Converted photons in Belle II enable high-significance measurements of Bell nonlocality, discord, concurrence, magic and steerability for macroscopically separated GeV diphotons, provided opening-angle resolution reac...

  3. 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...

  4. Hadron Structure from the Hierarchy of Quantum Correlations in Deep-Inelastic Scattering

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Quantum-information measures of the DIS final electron-quark state are shown to be sensitive to transversity PDFs and can discriminate between different tensor-charge extractions.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. Quantum Entanglement Autodistillation in Baryon Pair Decays

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Weak decays of spin-1/2 baryon-antibaryon pairs into a spin-1/2 baryon and a spin-0 meson can probabilistically increase the pair's spin entanglement, with the effect controlled by the decay asymmetry parameter alphaD.

  9. Tests of quantum contextuality in particle physics

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spin states measured in collider data violate non-contextuality inequalities with significance above 5 sigma for several mesons, baryons, and top-quark pairs.

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using the trace distance between Standard Model and new-physics density matrices gives the strongest quantum-information bounds on anomalous top and tau couplings, along with first measurements of magic in collider data.

  12. Measuring Quantum Discord at the LHC

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors derive closed-form formulas for quantum discord in the ttbar system and predict it can be measured at the LHC with sub-percent precision using the kinematic method.

    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.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In e+e−→ψ→Ξ(→Λπ)Ξ̄(→Λ̄π), the ΛΛ̄ pair's concurrence and negativity can decrease relative to the mother pair yet stay nonzero except at θ=0 and π, while quantum discord can always increase.

  15. Testing spooky action between free-traveling electron-positron pairs

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Simulations show that Bhabha scattering can produce electron-positron pairs with near-maximal entanglement, and a two-target secondary-scattering scheme could in principle measure their spin correlations.

  16. 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.
