Abstract
We perform for the first time a full study of spin correlations in inclusive WZ production at the LHC with leptonic decays in the presence of NLO QCD corrections and of effects from a dimension-six operator in the SMEFT modifying the electroweak triple-gauge coupling. We carry out the complete quantum-state tomography of the di-boson system and relate its results to common purity and spin-entanglement markers, highlighting the sizeable impact of both QCD corrections and SMEFT insertions. Additionally, we show how a naive truncation at dimension-six in the SMEFT expansion of the spin-density matrix can lead to a cumbersome spin interpretation of the quantum-tomography results.
