TL;DR Summary
What happens with entangled quants if put inside Particle accelarator and shot at each other?
Due to the energie that is put in when entangling quants my question arises in the outcome. If two quants entangled with each other are accelarated in an particle accelarator and hit each other, they should (as i understand it) cancel each others spin out and therefore cancel the energie they both possess. But here my question comes in place, where does the Energie put in to entangle them go? What would be the theoreticall outcome of shooting two entangled quants at each other regarding new particels, aswell as the energie levels that get free?

Thanks for the answers in advance
greetings a physics enthusiast

Why would they do that?

Even if they did cancel each other's spin, that does not imply that their energies would cancel also. Energies don't cancel.

The Spin that they possess if we have two quants should be exactly 0, so if particle one with an positive spin hits particle two witch has a negative spin and they are in an particle accelarator with high speeds the particles entangled shouldnt stay the same so they would cancel out the spin due to the spins having the exact same enrgetic level and speed of rotation just in the exact opposite direction so that we would have (s-)+(s+)=0. But now my question is what happens with the energie after they both collapse when hitting each other in the accelarator? If i have any mistakes in here im sorry for it, english is not my first tounge and im not used to discussing physics on english so i might translate some things wrong.

It makes no sense to talk about entanglement without specifying which properties are entangled.

But with that said.... after the collision we will end up with the same total energy, linear momentum, angular momentum, charge and other conserved quantities as we had before the collision. Whether the particles are entangled in some way won't change this.

If they are in that particular entangled state, yes. There are other possible entangled states which do not have a total spin of 0.

That's not what the entangled state means. In the entangled state neither particle has a definite spin at all on its own. Only the joint state of both particles together has a definite spin.

SchrodingersQuants said:
and they are in an particle accelarator with high speeds the particles entangled shouldnt stay the same
Meaning, they should no longer be entangled? Why not?

SchrodingersQuants said:
so they would cancel out the spin
I don't see why.

SchrodingersQuants said:

I'm not sure what you mean by this, but energy is not spin, and even if the total spin is 0 that doesn't mean the total energy is 0.

SchrodingersQuants said:
and speed of rotation just in the exact opposite direction
Quantum spin is not due to "speed of rotation".

SchrodingersQuants said:

What do you mean by "collapse"?

I don't think translation is an issue here. I think your not having a very good understanding of the scenario you are proposing is an issue here. If you have a reference you can give for where you are getting all this from, that would help.

FAQ: Entangled quants inside a particle accelarator

What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two or more particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one particle instantly influences the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are. This occurs due to the principles of quantum mechanics that govern the behavior of particles at the smallest scales.

How is quantum entanglement achieved inside a particle accelerator?

Inside a particle accelerator, quantum entanglement is achieved by accelerating particles to high speeds and then causing them to interact or collide. These high-energy interactions can create pairs of entangled particles. The process is carefully monitored and controlled using sophisticated detectors and measurement devices.

What are the practical applications of studying entangled particles in a particle accelerator?

Studying entangled particles in a particle accelerator has several practical applications, including advancements in quantum computing, secure quantum communication, and fundamental tests of quantum mechanics. It also provides insights into particle physics and the behavior of matter at the quantum level, which can lead to new technologies and scientific breakthroughs.

What challenges are associated with detecting and measuring entangled particles in a particle accelerator?

Detecting and measuring entangled particles in a particle accelerator is challenging due to the extremely small scales and high speeds involved. Advanced detectors and precise timing mechanisms are required to identify and analyze entangled states. Additionally, isolating entangled particles from environmental noise and other interactions is a significant technical hurdle.

How does entanglement affect the behavior of particles in a particle accelerator?

Entanglement affects the behavior of particles in a particle accelerator by linking their properties in a way that measurements on one particle can instantaneously influence the state of its entangled partner. This interconnected behavior can be used to study fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics, such as non-locality and the violation of classical physics principles, providing deeper insights into the nature of reality.
