TL;DR
This paper explores the connection between QCD factorization, a concept in high-energy physics, and quantum information science, illustrating how phenomena like decoherence and entanglement relate to factorization breaking.
Contribution
It introduces a novel perspective by explaining QCD factorization and its breaking through the lens of quantum mechanics and quantum information science.
Findings
QCD factorization relates to quantum entanglement and decoherence.
Examples demonstrate the quantum information perspective on high-energy QCD processes.
The approach offers new insights into factorization breaking phenomena.
Abstract
It is unusual to find QCD factorization explained in the language of quantum information science. However, we will discuss how the issue of factorization and its breaking in high-energy QCD processes relates to phenomena like decoherence and entanglement. We will elaborate with several examples and explain them in terms familiar from basic quantum mechanics and quantum information science.
