Maximizing Spin Correlations in Top Quark Pair Production at the Tevatron
read the original abstract
A comparison is made between the off-diagonal and helicity spin bases for top quark pair production at the FNAL Tevatron. In the off-diagonal basis, 92% of the top quark pairs are in the spin configuration up-down plus down-up, whereas in the helicity basis only 70% are left-right plus right-left. The off-diagonal basis maximizes the spin asymmetry and hence the measured angular correlations between the decay products, which are more than twice as big in this basis as compared to the helicity basis. In addition, for the process q qbar --> t tbar, we give a very simple analytic expression for the matrix element squared which includes all spin correlations between the production and subsequent decay of the top quarks.

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

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

Transverse polarization in e+e- collisions generates maximally entangled fermion pairs in QED processes and boosts entanglement in electroweak and Bhabha scattering.

Spin correlations and quantum entanglement in $\gamma\gamma \to t\bar t$ at polarized photon colliders with NLO QCD corrections
NLO QCD corrections enhance the γγ → ttbar cross section while leaving spin observables largely unchanged, with entanglement peaking near threshold and both entanglement and Bell nonlocality depending strongly on beam...
