Abstract

The decay of Higgs boson into two spin-1/2 particles provides an ideal system to reveal quantum entanglement and Bell-nonlocality. Future e+ee^+e^- colliders can improve the measurement accuracy of the spin correlation of tau lepton pairs from Higgs boson decay. We show the testability of Bell inequality through hττh\to \tau\tau at Circular Electron Positron Collider (CEPC). Two realistic methods of testing Bell inequality are investigated, i.e., T\"{o}rnqvist's method and Clauser-Home-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality. In the simulation, we take into account the detector effects of CEPC including uncertainties for tracks and jets from ZZ boson in the production of e+eZhe^+e^-\to Zh. Necessary reconstruction approaches are described to measure quantum entanglement between τ+\tau^+ and τ\tau^-. Finally, we show the sensitivity of CEPC to the Bell inequality violation for the two methods.
