So I get that when starting at Eigenstate A all super-positions wave functions are collapsed do to entanglement with "observed eigenstate A.
My theoretical question is since sub-atomic particles are entangled in there "eigenstate" space-time positions, wouldn't that mean that complex structures of sub atomic particles such as matter that contain quarks, strong force, gluons, ect...would also be entangled in" the there super-position(s) as well, making up the same complex structures in there other eigenstate superposition(s) in theory ?

You can treat non-elementary particles like protons like elementary particles if the energies are low enough. If the energy is high enough, you have to consider the constituents individually, and you get a multi-particle system (which still follows the laws of quantum mechanics, of course, but is is much more complex).

Collapse means no entanglement any more.

There are no "eigenstate space-time positions".
 
Ok, thanks
 
I understand what your saying, I thought if entanglement ends at wave collapse in a complex structure of particles strong force is holding them together so they remain in a structured state. At the super positions but decohersed
 
I don't understand that post.
 
Toponium is a hadron which is the bound state of a valance top quark and a valance antitop quark. Oversimplified presentations often state that top quarks don't form hadrons, because they decay to bottom quarks extremely rapidly after they are created, leaving no time to form a hadron. And, the vast majority of the time, this is true. But, the lifetime of a top quark is only an average lifetime. Sometimes it decays faster and sometimes it decays slower. In the highly improbable case that...
I'm following this paper by Kitaev on SL(2,R) representations and I'm having a problem in the normalization of the continuous eigenfunctions (eqs. (67)-(70)), which satisfy \langle f_s | f_{s'} \rangle = \int_{0}^{1} \frac{2}{(1-u)^2} f_s(u)^* f_{s'}(u) \, du. \tag{67} The singular contribution of the integral arises at the endpoint u=1 of the integral, and in the limit u \to 1, the function f_s(u) takes on the form f_s(u) \approx a_s (1-u)^{1/2 + i s} + a_s^* (1-u)^{1/2 - i s}. \tag{70}...
