I have been walking around with the notion that "quantum entanglement implies a sort
causal relationship due to the states having a shared history". I am now not so
sure that this is correct.
When I talk about entanglement, I use the argument that the preparation of the entangled state places information in the entangled state at the time of preparation and this "influences" future measurements. Where "this influences future measurements" in the last sentence means that the entangled states share a Hilbert space containing the eigenvectors of the joint Hamiltonian of the entangled objects. I'm not sure if I am way off course in my comprehension or if I have a problem with my language.
