| contents | We investigate the influence of quantum-gravity (QG) induced corrections on the entanglement entropy associated with four-flavor neutrino oscillations in vacuum, incorporating an additional sterile neutrino in the (3+1) framework. Using the von Neumann entropy as a measure of quantum correlations, we analyze how Planck-scale suppressed modifications to the neutrino mass-squared differences and the extended mixing matrix affect the evolution of entanglement during successive oscillation cycles. The quantum-gravity corrections are implemented through a dimension-5 effective field theory operator that modifies the four-flavor PMNS matrix and all six mixing angles above the GUT scale. We find that the atmospheric mixing angle θ_{23} undergoes the largest deviation due to Planck-scale effects, while angles θ_{14}, θ_{24}, and θ_{34} remain essentially unchanged. The resulting QG-corrected oscillation probabilities produce characteristic deviations in the entanglement entropy profile as a function of L/E, providing a sensitive probe of Planck-scale physics within a four-flavor neutrino phenomenology framework. |
