Abstract

Recent work [S. R. Beane, D. B. Kaplan, N. Klco and M. J. Savage, Phys. Rev. Lett. 122, 102001 (2019), arXiv:1812.03138.] conjectured that entanglement is minimized in low-energy hadronic scattering processes. It was shown that the minimization of the entanglement power (EP) of the low-energy baryon–baryon [Formula: see text]-matrix implies novel spin–flavor symmetries that are distinct from large-[Formula: see text] QCD predictions and are confirmed by high-precision lattice QCD simulations. Here, the conjecture of minimal entanglement is investigated for scattering processes involving pions and nucleons. The EP of the [Formula: see text]-matrix is constructed for the [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] systems, and the consequences of minimization of entanglement are discussed and compared with large-[Formula: see text] QCD expectations.
