Lecturer: F. Fabbri (Unibo)
Duration: 12 hours
Dates: February 2024
Learning outcomes: The possibility of testing basic principles of quantum mechanics, as entanglement, at high energy using particles created at colliders is currently a hot topic in particle physics, with new papers released almost every day. In this course the students will acquire knowledge on the methods to study quantum correlations in collider experiments. The course will present results of analyses already performed in top-quarks and mesons final states, prospectives for the future that include Higgs final states and implications in the search for new physics.
Details of the course:
2h: Introduction to quantum information and low energy test of entanglement
2h: Measuring the quantum information at colliders: from the spin density matrix to the entanglement
2h: The first observation of quantum entanglement from ATLAS (and maybe CMS) in top physics (including basic analysis concept as unfolding)
2h: Quantum entanglement in different final states as tau pairs, J/psi and kaons (Belle)
2h: Future prospective: entanglement in Higgs final states and multiple particles systems
2h: The quantum witnesses as a tool to search for new physics
