Flavor oscillations in elementary particle physics are related to multi-mode entanglement of single-particle states. We show that mode entanglement can be expressed in terms of flavor transition probabilities, and therefore that single-particle entangled states acquire a precise operational characterization in the context of particle mixing. We treat in detail the physically relevant cases of two- and three-flavor neutrino oscillations, including the effective measure of CP violation. We discuss experimental schemes for the transfer of the quantum information encoded in single-neutrino states to spatially delocalized two-flavor charged lepton states, thus showing, at least in principle, that single-particle entangled states of neutrino mixing are legitimate physical resources for quantum information tasks.

  1. Quantum Information as a New Lens for Precision Neutrino Physics

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Concurrence minima in neutrino oscillations identify low-entanglement energy regions that, when aligned with NOνA and T2K data, yield tighter joint constraints on sin²θ₂₃, δ_CP, and Δm²₃₁.

  2. Positivity in Amplitudes and Quantum Entanglement

    hep-th 2024-02 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Links amplitude positivity to S-matrix entanglement consistency for flavored states, analyzes disentanglers, and introduces wave-packet regularization for entanglement expressions.

  3. New quantum information perspectives in the axion--photon and neutrino systems

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Axion-photon oscillations generate bipartite mode entanglement with maximal values at resonance, and quantum speed limits are derived for both axion-photon and neutrino systems.

  4. Leptonic CP Phase Determination from Fisher Information in NO$\nu$A and T2K

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    T2K and NOνA extract only a small fraction of the quantum information about δ_CP, with extraction efficiency particularly suppressed near maximal CP violation.
