Top pairs produced at the Large Hadron Collider exhibit quantum entanglement of their spins near threshold and for boosted, central $t \bar t$ pairs. The entanglement is maintained between the decay products, in particular between the top quark and the $W^-$ boson from the anti-quark (or vice-versa, between $\bar t$ and $W^+$) in certain kinematical regions. Therefore, $t \bar t$ production provides a rare opportunity to verify the spin entanglement between a fermion and a boson. The $tW$ entanglement can be probed at the $7\sigma$ level near threshold with Run 2 data, and at the $5\sigma$ level in the boosted region with the foreseen Run 3 luminosity. In addition, the entanglement between the two $W$ bosons can be probed at the $4\sigma$ level at the LHC Run 3.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Quantum information observables in LHC top quark pair production are modified by SMEFT dimension-6 operators in ways that depend on their CP properties, offering a complementary probe beyond standard observables.

  5. Experimental prospects for quantum decoherence measurements at colliders

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    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.

    hep-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    Semi-leptonic h→VV* decays retain an effective two-qutrit quantum description under NLO QCD and electroweak corrections, unlike the fully leptonic h→4ℓ channel.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    Spin and quantum-information observables add only marginal statistical power beyond kinematic variables for isolating toponium in near-threshold top-pair events, but improve interpretability.

  8. Qubit entanglement from forward scattering

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In perturbative relativistic 2→2 scattering the concurrence of the traced-out qubit density matrix depends at leading order on the real part of the inelastic forward amplitude.

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Polarized lepton beams control quantum discord and steering in hyperon-antihyperon pairs from e+e- annihilation, with discord persisting in separable states via transverse polarization.

  10. Experimental prospects for quantum decoherence measurements at colliders

    hep-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 5.0

    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.

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 5.0

    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.

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