Top quark spin and quantum entanglement in the ATLAS experiment

Abstract

Top quark pair spin correlation measurements performed by the ATLAS experiment using $pp$ collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are summarized. Moreover, the measurement of a specific observable $D$ related to top quark pair spin correlations is presented using the full LHC Run 2 data taking at the center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s}=13$ TeV. This allowed the ATLAS experiment to observe the quantum entanglement, one of the fundamental property of the quantum mechanics.
