• Abstract: 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 a test case: after tracing out kinematics, we compute entanglement among final-state spins and colors across all decay channels and impose a near-maximal entanglement-entropy criterion. This criterion yields quantitative indications for fundamental parameters. Within the SM, the entanglement entropy exhibits a global maximum close to the observed Higgs mass and the measured $W$ mass, the latter being equivalent to the $SU(2)_L$ gauge coupling. In a two-parameter kappa framework, applying the same criterion points to an SM-like balance between vector and fermion couplings, constraining the ratio of the sector-wide rescalings. These results suggest that entanglement extremality can serve as a complementary handle on fundamental parameters.

  Molecular modeling at the quantum level requires choosing a parameterization of the wavefunction that both respects the required particle symmetries. We introduce a new antisymmetrization layer derived from sorting, the $textitsortlet$, which scales as $O(N log N)$ with regards to the number of particles. We show numerically that applying this anti-symmeterization layer on top of an attention based neural-network backbone yields a flexible wavefunction parameterization.
