abstract

Quantum entanglement between the two $W$ bosons resulting from the decay of a Higgs boson may be investigated in the dilepton channel $H \to WW \to \ell \nu \ell \nu$ using laboratory-frame observables that only involve the charged leptons $\ell=e,\mu$. The dilepton invariant mass distribution, already measured by the ATLAS and CMS Collaborations at the LHC, can be used to observe the quantum entanglement of the $WW$ pair with a statistical sensitivity of $7\sigma$ with Run 2 data, and of $6\sigma$ when including theoretical systematics. As a by-product, the relation between $W$ rest frame (four-dimensional) angular distributions, $H \to WW$ decay amplitudes, and spin correlation coefficients, is written down.

  1. Qubit-qubit-qutrit quantum correlations in $H \to f \bar f V$

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In h→τ^-τ^+ Z decays, the spin state is genuinely qubit-qubit-qutrit entangled almost everywhere, violates Bell inequalities throughout, and carries up to 1.95 bits of non-local magic.

  2. Experimental prospects for quantum decoherence measurements at colliders

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Hard final-state radiation measurably destroys the spin entanglement of fermion-antifermion pairs, and the effect should already be visible in LHC ttbar+jet and Belle II tau+tau-gamma data.

  3. Quantum Tomography and Entanglement in Semi-Leptonic $h\to VV^*$ Decays at Higher Orders

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Semi-leptonic h→VV* decays retain an effective two-qutrit quantum description under NLO QCD and electroweak corrections, unlike the fully leptonic h→4ℓ channel.

  4. Extracting a Toponium Signal at the LHC with Spin and Quantum Information Tools

    hep-ph 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Spin and quantum-information observables add only marginal statistical power beyond kinematic variables for isolating toponium in near-threshold top-pair events, but improve interpretability.

  5. Parameter Inference from Final-State Entanglement in Higgs Decays

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    With a spin/color-weighted entanglement entropy built from Higgs branching ratios, the Standard Model Higgs and W masses sit near the global maximum, and the preferred coupling ratio is SM-like.

  6. Spin versus Magic: Lessons from Gluon and Graviton Scattering

    hep-th 2025-08 accept novelty 6.0 of 10

    For 2 to 2 scattering of massless spin-1/2 to spin-2 particles, the averaged generated magic decreases monotonically with spin, with maxima well below the two-qubit upper bound.

  7. Colliders are Testing neither Locality via Bell's Inequality nor Entanglement versus Non-Entanglement

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Collider measurements of final-state momenta alone cannot certify Bell nonlocality or entanglement, because the measured angular distribution is itself a local hidden variable model.
