Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The aim of this Special Issue is to explore the core aspects of quantum information (QI), delving into the captivating realm of QI at high-energy colliders. Over the last few years, there has been growing interest in investigating QI's fundamental facets in relation to relativistic energies, leveraging collider data in high-energy physics (HEP) experiments, notably at the large hadron collider (LHC) at CERN. This Special Issue will primarily focus on physics studies related to quantum entanglement (QE), superposition, and Bell non-locality. The evolving landscape of QI applications in HEP, particularly at CERN, is becoming popular, in conjunction with a huge global progress in quantum technologies. The Special Issue will also encompass topics showcasing the recent advances in quantum computing, quantum algorithms, and quantum machine learning (QML), unveiling promising applications within the field of HEP at CERN.

Title: Entanglement and Bell inequality violation in B meson decays
Authors: Emidio Gabrielli; Luca Marzola
Affiliation: Department of Physics, University of Trieste, Italy
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 Phi mesons to show the presence of entanglement in the spin correlations of the system and quantify the amount of Bell inequality violation it entails. 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.
