Abstract

We investigate quantum steering and Bell nonlocality in top-quark pair production at the LHC near threshold. The toponium contribution strengthens the spin-singlet component and substantially enhances the entanglement between the two quark spins. With current LHC data, quantum steering appears to be observable at the 5σ level provided systematic uncertainties are at 5% or below. For Bell nonlocality, the statistical significance can also be high close to threshold, but systematics are expected to limit a possible measurement to around 2σ sensitivity.
