In 1935, in a paper entitled "Can quantum-mechanical description of reality be considered complete?", Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen (EPR) formulated an apparent paradox of quantum theory. They considered two quantum systems that were initially allowed to interact, and were then later separated. A measurement of a physical observable performed on one system then had to have an immediate effect on the conjugate observable in the other system - even if the systems were causally disconnected! The authors viewed this as a clear indication of the inconsistency of quantum mechanics. In the parton model of the nucleon formulated by Bjorken, Feynman, and Gribov, the partons (quarks and gluons) are viewed by an external hard probe as independent. The standard argument is that, inside the nucleon boosted to an infinite-momentum frame, the parton probed by a virtual photon with virtuality Q is causally disconnected from the rest of the nucleon during the hard interaction. Yet, the parton and the rest of the nucleon have to form a colour-singlet state due to colour confinement, and so have to be in strongly correlated quantum states - we thus encounter the EPR paradox at the sub-nucleonic scale. In this paper, we propose a resolution of this paradox based on the quantum entanglement of partons. We devise an experimental test of entanglement, and carry it out using data on proton-proton collisions from the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). Our results provide a strong direct indication of quantum entanglement at sub-nucleonic scales.

Quantum entanglement within quarkonium
Quark-antiquark entanglement entropy in quarkonium is derived from light-front wave functions, reduces to the Shannon entropy of TMDs, and shows strong polarization dependence for spin-1 mesons.

Deep inelastic scattering as a probe of entanglement: the complete QCD dipole cascade
The Shannon entropy of dipole multiplicities from the full Levin–Lublinsky equation in DIS reproduces the H1 hadron entropy, growing linearly with ln(1/x) and described by S = ln(2/3⟨n⟩) + 0.85.

Higher-order local constraints from reciprocal symmetry and entanglement entropy of charged-particle multiplicity distributions in $pp$ collisions
The reciprocal symmetry of the KNO-violating term yields the new constraint δ₃=0 at n=⟨n⟩ (untestable at present precision), fails globally at 13 TeV, and the derived entropy S=ln⟨n⟩+I₀−½∫e^{-z}f_s²dz matches ATLAS da...

Investigating QCD Dynamical Entropy in high-energy nuclear collisions
Using geometric scaling and Glauber-Gribov nuclear gluon distributions, the authors find that the QCD dynamical entropy in proton-nucleus collisions is essentially independent of the atomic mass number A, while the en...
