量子关联最近在碰撞物理中引起了显著关注，其中量子相干非局域优势（NAQC）代表了迄今研究的最强形式的量子关联。由于其强度，NAQC比贝尔非局域性更难观测，因为它只存在于相空间的较窄区域。与其他系统不同，在电子-正电子（$e^+e^-$）碰撞中产生的tau轻子对（$\tau^+\tau^-$）提供了一个理想的测试平台，因为它在相空间的大范围内展现出强量子关联，特别是NAQC。在本文中，我们研究了在质心能量为10.58和91.19 GeV的$e^+e^- \to \tau^+\tau^-$产生过程中的NAQC，分别对应于正在进行的Belle~II和未来的FCC-$ee$实验。值得注意的是，针对我们的实验方案，我们开发了一个专门的NAQC见证者，通过测量单一物理量即可认证NAQC的存在。我们估算了建立NAQC存在所需的实验灵敏度，发现大部分事件数（具体而言，Belle~II为0.18，FCC-$ee$为0.31）对NAQC信号有贡献。在Belle~II上，5$\sigma$的NAQC观测需要约1%的精度，而在FCC-$ee$上，百分之几的精度就足够了。由此产生的观测将构成迄今为止在碰撞器上测得的最强形式的量子关联。此外，我们设计了一个实验方案来实现导致NAQC定义的引导博弈，这代表了在高中能碰撞器中首次实现引导博弈。我们的结果很容易扩展到具有不同质心能量的其他电子-正电子碰撞器。
英文摘要
Quantum correlations have recently attracted significant attention in collider physics, with Nonlocal Advantage of Quantum Coherence (NAQC) representing the strongest form of quantum correlation studied so far. Owing to its strength, NAQC is considerably more challenging to observe than Bell nonlocality since it is only present in narrower regions of phase space. Unlike other systems, tau-lepton pair ($τ^+τ^-$) production in electron--positron ($e^+e^-$) collisions provides an ideal testing ground, as it exhibits strong quantum correlations and, in particular, NAQC over a large region of phase space. In this paper, we investigate NAQC in $e^+e^- \to τ^+τ^-$ production at center-of-mass energies of 10.58 and 91.19~GeV, corresponding to the ongoing Belle~II and future FCC-$ee$ experiments, respectively. Remarkably, for our experimental proposal, we develop a dedicated NAQC witness, which allows to certify NAQC presence by measuring one single magnitude. We estimate the experimental sensitivities needed to establish the presence of NAQC, finding that a large fraction of the number of events (specifically, 0.18 for Belle~II and 0.31 for FCC-$ee$) contribute to the NAQC signal. A 5$σ$ observation of NAQC requires a precision of approximately 1\% at Belle~II, while a precision of a few percent is sufficient at FCC-$ee$. The resulting observation would constitute the strongest form of quantum correlation measured in a collider to date. In addition, we design an experimental scheme to implement the steering game leading to the NAQC definition, representing the first implementation of a steering game in a high-energy collider. Our results are easily extendable to other electron--positron colliders with different center-of-mass energies.
