abstract

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.

  1. Qubit-qubit-qutrit quantum correlations in $H \to f \bar f V$

    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.

  2. 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.

  3. Quantum Tomography and Entanglement in Semi-Leptonic $h\to VV^*$ Decays at Higher Orders

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Extracting a Toponium Signal at the LHC with Spin and Quantum Information Tools

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Spin versus Magic: Lessons from Gluon and Graviton Scattering

    hep-th 2025-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    For 2 to 2 scattering of massless spin-1/2 to spin-2 particles, the averaged generated magic decreases monotonically with spin, with maxima well below the two-qubit upper bound.

  6. Entanglement redistribution of hyperon-antihyperon pair via sequential decay

    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.

  7. Colliders are Testing neither Locality via Bell's Inequality nor Entanglement versus Non-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.
