• Abstract summary: We will investigate quantum correlations with top quark pair production, which represents a system of two-qubits. The spacelike separation requirement for the two causally disconnected top quarks requires they fly relativistically away from each other. We find that entanglement can already be observed at more than $5sigma$ level with existing data.

• Abstract: The Large Hadron Collider provides a unique opportunity to study quantum entanglement and violation of Bell inequalities at the highest energy available today. In this paper, we will investigate these quantum correlations with top quark pair production, which represents a system of two-qubits. The spacelike separation requirement for the two causally disconnected top quarks requires they fly relativistically away from each other, which motivates the use of the boosted top-tagging with the semi-leptonic top pair channel. Although measuring the spin polarization of the hadronic top quark is known to be challenging, our study indicates that it is feasible to reconstruct the spin density matrix of the two-qubit system using an optimal hadronic polarimeter. This is achieved with the aid of jet substructure techniques and NN-inspired reconstruction methods, which improve the mapping between subjets and quarks. We find that entanglement can already be observed at more than $5\sigma$ level with existing data, and violation of Bell inequalities may be probed above 4$\sigma$ level at the HL-LHC with 3 ab$^{-1}$ of data.

  Recent quantum interference studies suggest that QH edge states can effectively mediate a supercurrent across high-quality graphene weak links. We employ a back-gated graphene Josephson junction, comprising high-mobility CVD-grown graphene encapsulated in hexagonal Boron Nitride (hBN) and contacted by Nb leads. Superconducting pockets are detected persisting beyond the QH onset, up to 2.4 T, hence approaching the upper critical field of the Nb contacts.

  Anapproach based on a generalized attention mechanism, symmetry preserving attention networks (SPA-NET) has been previously applied to top quark pair decays at the Large Hadron Collider. We extend the SPA-NET architecture to consider multiple input object types, such as leptons, as well as global event features, such as the missing transverse momentum. We find significant improvements in the power of three representative studies: a search for ttH, a measurement of the top quark mass, and a search for a heavy Z' decaying to top quark pairs.

• Observing super-quantum correlations across the exceptional point in a single, two-level trapped ion [48.7576911714538]
  In two-level quantum systems - qubits - unitary dynamics theoretically limit these quantum correlations to $2qrt2$ or 1.5 respectively. Here, using a dissipative, trapped $40$Ca$+$ ion governed by a two-level, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian, we observe correlation values up to 1.703(4) for the Leggett-Garg parameter $K_3$. These excesses occur across the exceptional point of the parity-time symmetric Hamiltonian responsible for the qubit's non-unitary, coherent dynamics.

  Spin correlations of $Lambda$-hyperons embedded in the QCD strings formed in high energy collider experiments provide unique insight into their locality and entanglement features. We show that while the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt inequality is less stringent for such states, they provide a benchmark for quantum-to-classical transitions induced by varying i) the associated hadron, ii) the spin of nucleons,iii) the separation in rapidity between pairs, and iv) the kinematic accessed.
