| contents | Quantum discord and steering offer crucial insights into the non-classical nature of hyperon-antihyperon pairs, a massive two-qubit system produced in high energy electron-positron annihilation. This work theoretically investigates the generation and control of these quantum correlations by leveraging longitudinal and transverse polarization of lepton beams. By exploiting the joint spin density matrix of hyperon pairs, the sensitivity of quantum discord and steering to the beam polarization degree are numerically quantified. Our analysis reveals distinct angular regimes where beam polarization can enhance steering and discord. Hierarchy of different quantum correlations are examined under the case of polarized lepton beams by constructing a measure in the spirit of entanglement of formation. It is confirmed that quantum discord remain non-zero even in regions with vanishing entanglement corresponding to separable states, controlled via transversely polarized beams. As an experimentally tunable parameter, beam polarization offers an effective means to manipulate the quantum correlation of hyperon-antihyperon systems, thereby providing a practical route for preparing and probing quantum states in high-energy particle physics. |
