I am perhaps wandering into areas I really do not understands As I understand it when virtual particles are created they are entangled due to conservation requirements. If one of a pair is captured by the black hole this allows the other to move away as Hawkin radiation and this particle has a...

I have been considering Hawkin radiation and I am puzzled about the capture of a virtual photon. Given that the escaped photon is entangled with the captured photon I do not see how the escaped photon can shed the entanglement. Can anyone help with this?
