Momentum entanglement at colliders: the $H\to WW,ZZ$ case

Abstract

We address momentum entanglement in Higgs decays to weak boson pairs, $H\to WW,ZZ$, by discretising momentum space. The momenta of the two weak bosons are entangled, as well as the degrees of freedom in momentum and spin spaces. For $H\to ZZ$ in the four-lepton final state, we also estimate the statistical sensitivity of entanglement measures at the Large Hadron Collider and future upgrades. The discretisation method introduced here is broadly applicable, offering a framework for studies of momentum entanglement at the energy frontier.
