Title: Quantum Information at High-Energy Colliders

Abstract: Some of the most astonishing and counterintuitive features of quantum mechanics—such as entanglement and Bell nonlocality—have traditionally been studied in low-energy, highly controlled laboratory settings. Only recently has it become feasible to explore these phenomena in the high-energy regime accessed by particle colliders. These colliders offer a unique environment in which quantum information theory can be explored, with energies exceeding those of typical lab setups by approximately 12 orders of magnitude. In this talk, I will describe the methods used to measure quantum information observables in collider environments and outline the key challenges and future directions in this emerging field.
