contents Top pair production is ideally suited to observe post-decay entanglement, thus providing a novel test of quantum mechanics. We provide top polarised decay amplitudes that can be used to compute semi-analytical predictions and, in particular, to better understand {\em why} the post-decay entanglement arises. We obtain predictions for the LHC, identifying general phase space regions where experimental measurements of $tW$ entanglement are feasible. We also give predictions for polarised $e^+ e^-$ collisions, focusing on the possibility that the post-decay $tW$ entanglement is larger than the $t \bar t$ one.
