Abstract
Top quark pair spin correlation measurements performed by the ATLAS experiment using $pp$ collisions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider are summarized. Moreover, the measurement of a specific observable $D$ related to top quark pair spin correlations is presented using the full LHC Run 2 data taking at the center-of-mass energy of $\sqrt{s} = 13$ TeV. This allowed the ATLAS experiment to observe the quantum entanglement, one of the fundamental property of the quantum mechanics.

Report
The contents of the paper provides a concise review of ATLAS measurements on top quark polarisations, spin correlations and quantum entanglement in the quark sector. The summary of results meets the criteria for publication, in my perspective, and corresponds to what was presented at the conference.
Recommendation
Publish (easily meets expectations and criteria for this Journal; among top 50%)
