Quantum entanglement detected in heavy Z bosons at high energies

The short version

• Researchers detected strong evidence of quantum entanglement in heavy, short-lived Z bosons produced by Higgs boson decays.[ScienceDaily]
• The high-energy particle collisions were produced at CERN's Large Hadron Collider.[ScienceDaily]
• The study has been published in the journal Physical Review Letters.[ScienceDaily]

Key facts

• Physicists detected strong evidence of quantum entanglement between pairs of heavy Z bosons during Higgs boson decays.[ScienceDaily]
• The research findings were published in Physical Review Letters.[ScienceDaily]
• Higgs bosons are produced by proton collisions reaching energies up to 13 trillion electron volts at 99.99% the speed of light.[ScienceDaily]
