abstract

It has been shown that entanglement and Bell nonlocality, which are key concepts in Quantum Mechanics, can be probed in high-energy colliders via processes of fundamental particle scattering. In fact, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations have measured entanglement using top-quark pairs produced in proton-proton collisions at the LHC. Recently, it was shown that spin correlations can be measured in pairs of bottom quarks at the LHC, despite the fact that bottom quarks, unlike top quarks, hadronize before decaying. Here, we demonstrate that quantum correlations can also be studied using bottom-quark pairs, and analyze the feasibility of the observation of entanglement and Bell nonlocality in several collider experiments. Given the low mass of the bottom quark relative to typical energies accessible at the LHC, many of the bottom-quark pairs are in the ultrarelativistic regime, where they can exhibit strong spin entanglement. We find that entanglement of bottom-quark pairs may be measurable even with the LHC Run 2 data, especially with the CMS $B$ parking dataset, while observation of Bell nonlocality may become feasible at the high-luminosity phase of the LHC.

    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.

    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.

  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. Quantum Tomography in Neutral Meson and Antimeson Systems

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The complete flavor density matrix of a neutral meson-antimeson pair can be reconstructed from time-dependent semileptonic decay rates, with B_s^0 and K^0 the most favorable systems.

  7. 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.

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Mass-identification, kaon-decay, and weak-mixing observables can be cast as spin-like operators whose correlations violate a Bell-type bound (0.44+0.90=1.34>1) in an idealized Gedanken framework.

  9. 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.
