Abstract

The exploration of fundamental quantum phenomena, such as entanglement and Bell inequality violations$-$extensively studied in low-energy regimes$-$has recently extended to high-energy particle collisions. Experimentally, Bell inequality violations, which challenge Einstein's principle of local realism, were first observed in low-energy entangled photon systems by A. Aspect, J. F. Clauser, and A. Zeilinger, earning them the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics. Particle colliders provide a novel setting for probing quantum information theory, operating at energies over ten orders of magnitude higher than previous experiments and in the presence of electroweak and strong interactions. Additionally, collider detectors offer unique advantages for quantum state reconstruction via quantum state tomography. This book chapter reviews key theoretical and experimental advancements in this emerging field, highlighting its challenges, objectives, and potential impact on both quantum information theory and high-energy physics.
