It is widely known that the $ZH$ production channel provides a promising probe to the $H \rightarrow b\bar{b}$ decay at the LHC, when the Higgs and the $Z$ bosons are highly boosted along the transverse direction. We show how information on the $Z$ boson polarization -- that is disregarded in the current LHC analyses -- can relevantly improve the signal from background discrimination, helping us to observe and achieve a larger precision for the $H \rightarrow b\bar{b}$ measurement in the $Z(\ell\ell)H$ channel.

Quantum Tomography and Entanglement in Semi-Leptonic $h\to VV^*$ Decays at Higher Orders
Semi-leptonic h to VV* decays retain an effective two-qutrit description for quantum tomography and entanglement after including finite fermion masses and NLO corrections.
