contents The Large Hadron Collider has delivered exceptionally large proton-proton collision datasets at centre-of-mass energies of up to 13.6 TeV. These datasets, collected by the ATLAS and CMS detectors, enable precision tests of theoretical predictions using extensive samples of top-quark events. A key example is the study of top-quark pair spin correlations, which can be accessed through the angular distributions of the top-quark decay products owing to the unique property that the top quark decays before it can hadronise. This wealth of data has also enabled new measurements of top-quark pair properties, particularly those with enhanced sensitivity in the threshold region, such as quantum entanglement, that were previously out of reach. In this contribution, the latest highlights in this area from the ATLAS and CMS experiments, are presented.
