Self-polarizing weak decays of $$Λ$$-hyperons provide unique insight into the role of entanglement in the fragmentation of QCD strings through measurements of the spin correlations of $$Λ\overline{Λ}$$-pairs produced in collider experiments. The simplest quantum field theory representing the underlying parton dynamics is the four-flavor massive Schwinger model plus an effective spin-flip term, where the flavors are mapped to light (up/down) and heavy (strange) quarks and their spins. This construction provides a novel way to explore hyperon spin-correlations in 1+1-dimensions. We investigate the evolution of these correlations for different string configurations that are sensitive to the rich structure of the model Hamiltonian.
