abstract = {Entanglement is an intrinsic property of quantum mechanics
and is predicted to be exhibited in the particles produced
at the Large Hadron Collider. A measurement of the extent of
entanglement in top quark-antiquark ($\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$)
events produced in proton-proton collisions at a
center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV is performed with the data
recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC in 2016, and
corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.3 fb$^{-1}$.
The events are selected based on the presence of two leptons
with opposite charges and high transverse momentum. An
entanglement-sensitive observable $D$ is derived from the
top quark spin-dependent parts of the $\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$
production density matrix and measured in the region of the
$\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ production threshold. Values of
$D\lt-$1/3 are evidence of entanglement and $D$ is observed
(expected) to be $-$0.480$^{+0.026}_{-0.029}$
($-$0.467$^{+0.026}_{-0.029}$) at the parton level. With an
observed significance of 5.1 standard deviations with
respect to the non-entangled hypothesis, this provides
observation of quantum mechanical entanglement within
$\mathrm{t\bar{t}}$ pairs in this phase space. This
measurement provides a new probe of quantum mechanics at the
highest energies ever produced.},
