Abstract: Spin correlations offer a quantum-information perspective on the partonic final states produced in high-energy scattering. We discuss the spin-density matrix of a heavy quark-antiquark pair in two complementary small-$x$ processes. In coherent diffractive production, color-singlet exchange enforces an unusually strong relation between entanglement and Bell nonlocality: a longitudinal photon creates a maximally entangled pair, whereas for a transverse photon the pair is generically both entangled and Bell nonlocal, with a model-independent point of maximal entanglement. In inclusive back-to-back production, the density matrix factorizes into a hard spin tensor and the unpolarized and linearly polarized Weizsäcker--Williams gluon distributions. The latter generates an azimuthal modulation and can increase the concurrence when the dijet relative momentum and imbalance are approximately orthogonal. Strikingly, in the saturation model considered, nonlinear effects wash out this modulation for $q_\perp\lesssim 3Q_s$, whereas the dilute BFKL limit, in which $G_2/G_0\to1$, yields a maximal modulation independent of the imbalance magnitude. These results connect quantum-information observables with the Pomeron and saturation physics.

Quantum density matrix theory for a laser without adiabatic elimination of the population inversion: transition to lasing in the class-B limit [62.997667081978825]
No class-B quantum density-matrix model is available to date, capable of accurately describing coherence and photon correlations within a unified theory. Here we carry out a density-matrix theoretical approach for generic class-B lasers, and provide closed equations for the photonic and atomic reduced density matrix in the Fock basis of photons. This model enables the study of few-photon bifurcations and non-classical photon correlations in class-B laser devices, also leveraging quantum descriptions of coherently coupled nanolaser arrays.

Optical response of atom chains beyond the limit of low light intensity: The validity of the linear classical oscillator model [0.0]
We study the case of perfectly mode-matched drives and the case of standing wave drives. By individually exciting eigenmodes we find that this critical intensity has a $upsilon_alpha2.5$ scaling for narrower resonances and more strongly interacting systems. The $upsilon_alpha3$ scaling also corresponds to the semiclassical result whereby quantum fluctuations between the atoms have been neglected.
