Abstract
We establish a correspondence between two independent entropic probes -- the variation of R\'{e}nyi mutual information (RMI) across the electroweak symmetry breaking (EWSB) transition and the stabilizer R\'enyi entropy (SRE) -- in tree-level elastic scatterings. After angular averaging, the RMI (helicity basis) and the SRE (fixed beam basis) exhibit identical dependence on within each neutral-current channel. We trace this correspondence to a common physical origin that it's the Yukawa mass insertion acts as a quantum gate in chirality space. Minimizing entropies across all processes yields values matching purely axial vector-like couplings in boson exchanged channel.
