Abstract

The hyperon-antihyperon pairs produced in electron-positron annihilation as a massive two-qubit quantum system can be used to study the quantum correlations at high energies. This paper is theoretically dedicated to how polarization of lepton beams manipulate the Bell nonlocality and entanglement of hyperon pairs system. The response of CHSH parameter, concurrence, and negativity to the polarization degree is numerically calculated by exploiting the joint spin density matrix of $Y\bar{Y}$ system. Different influences of longitudinal and transverse polarization of beams on entanglement are found and compared. The results provide alternative perspectives for the decay of charmoniun to hyperon pairs.
