ScienceEvidence of quantum entanglement reportedly found in Higgs boson decays
An analysis by CERN’s ATLAS experiment used Z boson decay products to reconstruct spin information and test for entanglement, an astronomy account says.
TLDR
ATLAS researchers studied Large Hadron Collider data on Higgs bosons decaying into pairs of short-lived Z bosons, an astronomy account says. By examining the particles produced in the Z bosons’ decays, they reconstructed information about their spins. According to the account, the analysis disfavored a separable, non-entangled state at 4.7 standard deviations, providing evidence that the pair’s quantum states were linked.
