Spin-orbit entanglement in the Color Glass Condensate

Published 5 Apr 2024 in hep-ph | (2404.04208v2)

Abstract: We compute the spin-orbit correlations of quarks and gluons at small-$x$ and show that the helicity and the orbital angular momentum of individual partons are strongly anti-aligned even in unpolarized or spinless hadrons and nuclei. Combined with the fact that gluons in the Color Glass Condensate are linearly polarized, our finding indicates that the helicity and the orbital angular momentum of single gluons are maximally entangled in a quantum mechanical sense.
