Description

This talk outlines how ideas from quantum information (QI) help characterize fundamental interactions in high-energy scattering.
First, I will discuss the QI landscape at future colliders, focusing on the Electron–Ion Collider. With transverse beam polarization, electron–proton scattering can produce controllable spin entanglement and non-stabilizer (“magic”) states, offering a concrete setting to study how quantum correlations arise in electroweak theory and QCD.
In the second part, I will broaden the view and examine whether simple QI measures expose recurring patterns across the Standard Model—for example, how entanglement suppression tracks emergent symmetries at low-energy QCD, and how it may also be connected to observed mixing patterns in the flavor sector.
This perspective suggests that QI-theoretic constraints may play a previously unrecognized role in shaping the structure of fundamental interactions.
