Scientists Detect Quantum Entanglement in Top Quarks at the Large Hadron Collider

This groundbreaking observation at CERN marks the first detection of entanglement in the heaviest known fundamental particles.

Researchers at CERN's Large Hadron Collider have observed quantum entanglement between top quarks and their antimatter counterparts, top antiquarks.
The entanglement was detected using the ATLAS detector, which analyzed data from high-energy proton collisions.
This discovery is significant as it demonstrates entanglement at the highest energy levels ever observed.
The rapid decay of top quarks prevents hadronization, preserving the entanglement signature in their decay products.
The findings could pave the way for future high-energy quantum information studies and provide deeper insights into the forces holding atomic nuclei together.
