abstract = {Entanglement is a key feature of quantum
mechanics$^{1–3}$, with applications in fields such as
metrology, cryptography, quantum information and quantum
computation$^{4–8}$. It has been observed in a wide
variety of systems and length scales, ranging from the
microscopic$^{9–13}$ to the macroscopic$^{14–16}$.
However, entanglement remains largely unexplored at the
highest accessible energy scales. Here we report the
highest-energy observation of entanglement, in top–antitop
quark events produced at the Large Hadron Collider, using a
proton–proton collision dataset with a centre-of-mass
energy of √s = 13 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 140
inverse femtobarns (fb)$^{−1}$ recorded with the ATLAS
experiment. Spin entanglement is detected from the
measurement of a single observable D, inferred from the
angle between the charged leptons in their parent top- and
antitop-quark rest frames. The observable is measured in a
narrow interval around the top–antitop quark production
threshold, at which the entanglement detection is expected
to be significant. It is reported in a fiducial phase space
defined with stable particles to minimize the uncertainties
that stem from the limitations of the Monte Carlo event
generators and the parton shower model in modelling
top-quark pair production. The entanglement marker is
measured to be D = −0.537 ± 0.002 (stat.) ± 0.019
(syst.) for $340\,{\rm{GeV}} < {m}_{t\bar{t}} <
380\,{\rm{GeV}}$. The observed result is more than five
standard deviations from a scenario without entanglement and
hence constitutes the first observation of entanglement in a
pair of quarks and the highest-energy observation of
entanglement so far.},
