Quantum Entanglement Endures Higgs Decays at the LHC
TL;DR
Physicists from CERN's ATLAS collaboration have observed strong evidence that quantum entanglement survives the LHC's extreme energies. By studying Higgs boson decays into pairs of Z bosons (which quickly decay into electrons or muons) at 13 TeV, they infer the Z bosons' spins and confirm entanglement in high-energy collider events. This marks one of the highest-energy confirmations of entanglement and extends foundational quantum mechanics tests into violent, laboratory-scale particle collisions; the results are published in Physical Review Letters.
