The polarizations of Lambda and anti-Lambda are thought to retain memories of the spins of their parent s quarks and antiquarks, and are readily measurable via the angular distributions of their daughter protons and antiprotons.…
Copious production of top-antitop quark pairs at hadron colliders has enabled various probes into the properties and interactions of top quarks. Among the various presently measured observables, the forward-backward asymmetry (FBA) in t…
We introduce a quantum decomposition algorithm (QDA) that decomposes the problem $\frac{\partial \rho}{\partial t}=\mathcal{L}\rho=\lambda \rho$ into a summation of eigenvalues times phase-space variables. One interesting feature of QDA…
We have previously investigated joint $\Lambda \bar{\Lambda}$ decay in the reaction $e^+ e^- \rightarrow \gamma \Lambda(\rightarrow p\pi^-) \bar{\Lambda}(\rightarrow \bar{p}\pi^+)$. The cross-section-distribution functions encountered were…
The entanglement entropy (EE) of quantum systems is often used as a test of low-energy descriptions by conformal field theory (CFT). Here we point out that this is not a reliable indicator, as the EE often shows the same behavior even when…
We systematically study the possibility of determining the spin of new particles after their discovery at the LHC. We concentrate on angular correlations in cascade decays. Motivated by constraints of electroweak precision tests and the…
We develop an effective field theory of QCD and QCD-like theories, based on the hidden local symmetry (HLS) model. We formulate the chiral perturbation theory with loops of rho as well as pi and further include quadratic divergences which…
We show that the entanglement observed in top-antitop quark spin states at the LHC is local in the energy region close to the production threshold. In contrast, nonlocal entanglement is observed in the central boosted region defined by a…
We investigate the relation between local unitary symmetries and entanglement invariants of multi-qubit systems. The Hilbert space of such systems can be stratified in terms of states with different types of symmetry. We review the…
We introduce a simple geometrical construction similar to covariant holographic entanglement entropy but with the addition of a new term proportional to boundary region volume. This new procedure has properties strongly resembling classical…
If new particles are discovered at the LHC, it will be important to determine their spins in as model-independent a way as possible. We consider the case, commonly encountered in models of physics beyond the Standard Model, of a new scalar…
The entanglement entropy of spacetime regions $A$ in odd-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) contains a universal constant term, $(-1)^{\frac{d-1}{2}}F(A)$. This quantity can be robustly defined by considering the mutual information…
In this paper we continue to explore "hybrid" quantum circuit models in one-dimension with both unitary and measurement gates, focussing on the entanglement properties of wavefunction trajectories at long times, in the steady state. We…
We define a set of pseudo-observables characterizing the properties of Higgs decays in generic extensions of the Standard Model with no new particles below the Higgs mass. The pseudo-observables can be determined from experimental data,…
At a 14 TeV proton-proton collider, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), we show that top quark pair production is dominated at low invariant mass by the fusion of two like-helicity gluons, producing top quark pairs in the left-left or…
We study bipartite spin-singlet correlations when rotational symmetry is described by a quantum group rather than an ordinary Lie group. We show that, even though the single-spin observables act as in the undeformed theory, the non-trivial…
Calculations of the polarization of $\Lambda$ and $\bar{\Lambda}$ particles after fragmentation of a polarized quark produced in processes like $Z$-decay and deep inelastic polarized lepton scattering must include $\Lambda$ and…
It has been recently shown that classical $J\bar T$ - deformed CFTs possess an infinite-dimensional Witt-Ka\v{c}-Moody symmetry, generated by certain field-dependent coordinate and gauge transformations. On a cylinder, however, the equal…
We present full quantum mechanical conductance calculations of a quantum point contact (QPC) performed in the framework of the density functional theory (DFT) in the local spin-density approximation (LDA). We show that a spin-degeneracy of…
We introduce a hybrid oscillator-qubit formulation of linear combination of Hamiltonian simulation (LCHS) for solving linear ordinary differential equations. Instead of representing the quadrature rule with a discrete-variable (DV) ancilla…
