Exact projective-steering boundary and sample-size optimization for angularly averaged hyperon-antihyperon states
Abstract
In hyperon-antihyperon production through electron-positron annihilation, quantum steering provides a stricter test of nonclassical spin correlations than entanglement. We determine when steering survives angular averaging and optimize angular selections to reduce the sample size needed to resolve it. In the specified production-frame spin convention, we show that windows symmetric about 90 degrees with even production-angle acceptance yield phase-independent Bell-diagonal states. Applying the necessary and sufficient criterion for steering under arbitrary dichotomic projective measurements determines the exact boundary for this family and reveals a steering region missed by the three-setting Cavalcanti-Jones-Wiseman-Reid (CJWR) criterion. For positive production parameters and uniform full-range acceptance, the steering threshold is α≃0.36065. We derive the covariance of weak-decay angular moments, construct fixed linear witnesses, and optimize the angular window. For J/ψ→ΛΛ̅, steering survives full-range averaging. The statistical model predicts that, after separately optimizing the two angular selections at nominal z=5, the required full-range pair sample decreases from 8.61×104 for CJWR to 2.80×104 for the projective witness, a 67.4% reduction. This advantage persists under the production-acceptance and analyzing-power variations studied.
