The measurement of top quark spin correlation is an important tool for precise studies of top quark interactions. In this letter I construct a quantization axis maximizing the spin correlation at the LHC within the Standard Model. Using this axis a spin correlation of 48% or even more, on applying additional cuts, can be reached. This represents a significant improvement compared to the helicity bases studied thus far.

    Local spin polarization imposes an upper bound on concurrence in two-qubit systems that is saturated by pure states, and this bound lowers maximal entanglement in the polarized e+e- to Z to qqbar process relative to t...

    An upper bound on concurrence is derived for fixed local polarizations in two-qubit systems, saturated by pure states in some cases, and applied to show reduced maximal entanglement in polarized q qbar pairs from pari...
