Abstract
We investigate quantum steering and Bell nonlocality in top-quark pair production at the LHC near threshold. The toponium contribution strengthens the spin-singlet component and substantially enhances the entanglement between the two quark spins. With current LHC data, quantum steering appears observable with a statistical significance around . For Bell nonlocality, the statistical significance can also be high close to threshold, reaching about , although the feasibility of such a measurement will depend crucially on the control of systematic uncertainties.
