contents The interpretation of groups of particle spins at colliders as quantum states has opened up the possibility of using colliders for quantum information. While most efforts have focused on utilizing the decays of the particles to infer their spins to reconstruct the quantum density matrix, we show that the production kinematics of the particles provides sufficient information about the spins to establish quantum tomography without using the decays. We perform a comparative study, highlighting the advantages and disadvantages of using this "kinematic approach" relative to the usual "decay approach." Since the kinematic approach leverages the simplicity of scattering kinematics, this approach promises to achieve the optimal statistical results for quantum tomography at colliders.
