Hello

If I entangle to atoms in close proximity to each other, is there any way I can separate these atoms by a large distance and maintain their entanglement?

Thank you.

Yes, systems can be entangled and remain a great distance from one another. Consider firing two atoms at one another. They will interact, entangle, and scatter. They will remain entangled as they separate from one another.

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
