Can we live in a baby universe formed by a delayed first-order phase transition?
Qing-Hong Cao, Masanori Tanaka, Jun-Chen Wang +2
We examine the idea that our universe began as a baby universe and show that this is feasible in a gauged extension of the Standard Model with the classically conforma…
Chiral phase transition with primordial black holes: Distinct phase structure and catalysis
Masanori Tanaka, Jun-Chen Wang, Jing-Jun Zhang
We study the impact of primordial black holes (PBHs) on the chiral phase transition and its associated stochastic gravitational-wave (GW) signals. Using the three-flavor Nambu-Jona…
Parameter Inference from Final-State Entanglement in Higgs Decays
Jia Liu, Masanori Tanaka, Xiao-Ping Wang +2
The decay out-states of unstable Standard Model (SM) particles provide a unique, well-defined intrinsic quantum-information probe of the SM parameter space. We use Higgs decays as…
Scattering Entanglement Entropy and Its Implications for Electroweak Phase Transitions
Jia Liu, Masanori Tanaka, Xiao-Ping Wang +2
We investigate the connection between the entanglement entropy in scattering processes and the dynamics of electroweak phase transitions. Recent work has shown that the scattering…
