Quantum Tomography of Fermion Pairs in e+ee^+e^- Collisions: Longitudinal Beam Polarization Effects

Published 2 Feb 2026 in hep-ph and quant-ph | (2602.02719v1)

Abstract: We present a quantum tomography study of fermion pair production at future e<sup>+e<sup>e<sup>+e<sup>- colliders, emphasizing how longitudinal beam polarization controls the two-qubit spin density matrix. We study the processes e<sup>+</sup>e<sup></sup>ttˉ, e<sup>+e<sup></sup></sup>μ<sup>+μ<sup>e<sup>+</sup> e<sup>-</sup> \to t\bar{t},\ e<sup>+e<sup>-\to</sup></sup> μ<sup>+μ<sup>- and Bhabha scattering e<sup>+e<sup></sup></sup>e<sup>+e<sup>e<sup>+e<sup>-\to</sup></sup> e<sup>+e<sup>-, representing the mass threshold behavior, the ZZ pole resonance and the s/ts/t-channel interplay. We choose to focus on three key concepts: quantum entanglement via the concurrence C\mathcal{C}, Bell nonlocality via the optimal Clauser Horne Shimony Holt (CHSH) parameter B\mathcal{B}, and non-stabilizerness (``magic'') via the second stabilizer Rényi entropy M2\mathcal{M}_2. For the ss-channel-dominated channels, longitudinal polarization mainly reshapes single-spin polarizations while leaving the spin-correlation matrix largely unchanged, rendering C\mathcal{C} and B\mathcal{B} comparatively robust, but inducing a pronounced variation of M2\mathcal{M}_2. In contrast, in Bhabha scattering, polarization modifies the relative contributions of the ss-channel and tt-channel and can strongly affect all three observables. The observability of entanglement, Bell nonlocality, and magic exceeds the $5σ$ level when both statistical and systematic uncertainties are included, establishing the fermion pair systems as ideal laboratories for quantum-information studies in high energy leptonic collisions. With optimized beam polarization, future e<sup>+e<sup>e<sup>+e<sup>- colliders will provide a unique opportunity to experimentally explore and influence quantum resources in particle interactions.
