• Title: Entanglement and Bell inequality violation in $B\to \it{ΦΦ}$ decays
• Authors: Emidio Gabrielli, Luca Marzola,
• Abstract summary: We show that the present LHCb data allows access to entanglement and to the Bell inequality violation with a significance exceeding the 5$sigma$ threshold. This demonstrates that the strong and electroweak interactions responsible for the $B$ meson decay act as a source of entanglement and the quantum mechanics nature of high-energy phenomena.

• Abstract: The decays of the $B$ meson into vector mesons, observed at the LHCb experiment, provide an ideal laboratory to investigate particle physics phenomena with quantum information theory methods. In this article, we focus on the decays yielding a pair of $\it{\Phi}$ mesons to investigate the presence of entanglement in the spin correlations of the system and quantify the amount of Bell inequality violation it entails. Our results show that the present LHCb data allows access to entanglement and to the Bell inequality violation with a significance exceeding the 5$\sigma$ threshold in both the cases. This demonstrates that the strong and electroweak interactions responsible for the $B$ meson decay act as a source of entanglement and the quantum mechanics nature of high-energy phenomena. Particular attention is paid to the assessment of loopholes: deficiencies in the experimental setup which could invalidate the results of the Bell test.

  We study quantum entanglement and test violation of Bell-type inequality at the Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC) Our study is based on a fast simulation of the $Z$ boson pair production from Higgs boson decay at 250$ GeV.

  Motivated by the growing interest in accessing the spin structure of multi-boson processes, we study polarisation and spin-correlation coefficients in di-boson systems. We show that higher-order corrections of QCD and electroweak type, off-shell modelling, and realistic effects such as fiducial selections and neutrino reconstruction are unavoidable.

As an application of our analysis, we performed a full quantum tomography of the final state in the $B0to K*0mu+mu-$ decays using data recorded by LHCb collaboration.

• 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.
