Abstract
We show how, using multipartite entanglement, the symmetries among bosons and fermions of the Standard Model of particle physics emerge. Fermions belong to tripartite maximally entangled classes starting with basic chiral right and left states. Quarks and leptons belong to different classes, with only leptons appearing as asymptotic states in three space dimensions. The Higgs boson is the scalar mode with a nonvanishing vacuum expectation value, other bosons are as usual linked to symmetry generators.

I acknowledge useful discussions with several colleagues at Nikhef and at some workshops among them ‘POETIC 2015’ in Paris, ‘The proton mass 2017’ at ECT* in Trento, ‘Lightcone 2017’ in Mumbai and ‘New Frontiers in QCD 2018’ at the Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics in Kyoto. I also want to acknowledge work done on some group theoretical aspects by my MSc student Fabian Springer. This research is part of the FP7 EU “Ideas” programme QWORK (Contract 320389).
