Quantum Information in High-Energy Physics: a top subject

Yoav Afik, Juan Ramón Muñoz de Nova

As a work selected for the Frontiers of Science Award, we present in the Proceedings of the ICBS an overview of how the techniques from the field of Quantum Information (QI) can be…

Quantum Information meets High-Energy Physics: Input to the update of the European Strategy for Particle Physics

Yoav Afik, Federica Fabbri, Matthew Low +68

Some of the most astonishing and prominent properties of Quantum Mechanics, such as entanglement and Bell nonlocality, have only been studied extensively in dedicated low-energy la…

Entanglement and Bell nonlocality with bottom-quark pairs at hadron colliders

Yoav Afik, Yevgeny Kats, Juan Ramón Muñoz de Nova +2

It has been shown that entanglement and Bell nonlocality, which are key concepts in Quantum Mechanics, can be probed in high-energy colliders via processes of fundamental particle…

Hints of a new leptophilic Higgs sector?

Yoav Afik, P. S. Bhupal Dev, Anil Thapa

We show that a new leptophilic Higgs sector can resolve some intriguing anomalies in current experimental data across multiple energy ranges. Motivated by the recent CMS excess in…

Probing long-lived axions at the KOTO experiment

Yoav Afik, Babette Döbrich, Jan Jerhot +2

While the main goal of the J-PARC KOTO experiment is to measure the rare decay , the unique setup of KOTO raises the possibility to search for physics beyond t…

Generic tests of CP-violation in high- multi-lepton signals at the LHC and beyond

Yoav Afik, Shaouly Bar-Shalom, Kuntal Pal +2

We introduce a modification to the standard expression for tree-level CP-violation in scattering processes at the LHC, which is important when the initial state in not self-conjuga…

Probing the muon (g-2) anomaly at the LHC in final states with two muons and two taus

Yoav Afik, P. S. Bhupal Dev, Amarjit Soni +1

The longstanding muon anomaly, as well as the persistent hints of lepton flavor universality violation in -meson decays, could be signaling new physics beyond the Standa…

Multi-lepton probes of new physics and lepton-universality in top-quark interactions

Yoav Afik, Shaouly Bar-Shalom, Kuntal Pal +2

We explore the sensitivity to new physics (NP) in the associated production of top-quarks with leptons , which leads to the multi-leptons signals $pp…

New flavor physics in di- and tri-lepton events from single-top at the LHC and beyond

Yoav Afik, Shaouly Bar-Shalom, Amarjit Soni +1

The associated production of a single-top with opposite-sign same-flavor (OSSF) di-leptons, and (light jet), can lead to…

High correlated tests of lepton universality in lepton(s) + jet(s) processes; an EFT analysis

Yoav Afik, Shaouly Bar-Shalom, Jonathan Cohen +2

We suggest a new class of tests for searching for lepton flavor non-universality (LFNU) using ratio observables and based on correlations among the underlying LFNU new physics (NP)…

Establishing a Search for Anomalies at the LHC

Yoav Afik, Jonathan Cohen, Eitan Gozani +2

One of the fundamental predictions of the Standard Model is Lepton Flavour Universality. Any deviation from this prediction would indicate the existence of physics beyond the Stand…
