• Abstract: We study how virtual next-to-leading-order electroweak corrections affect the quantum observables of entanglement and magic in lepton--lepton collisions. Treating the outgoing particles as multi-qudit systems, $\textit{i.e.}$, qubits for spin-$\tfrac{1}{2}$ fermions and qutrits for massive vector bosons, we compute entanglement entropy and the stabilizer second Rényi entropy for the processes $\ell^+\ell^- \to τ^-τ^+,\, ZZ$ at one-loop accuracy. We show that radiative corrections coherently modify the quantum structure of the final state, shifting regions of maximal entanglement and altering the generated magic relative to leading order. Our results demonstrate that these quantum observables provide novel, precision-sensitive probes of electroweak dynamics at future lepton colliders and open a path toward their use in searches for new physics.
