Photons contain kinetic energy. When you entangle photons, do you change the properties of the kinetic energy which forms the wave energy? Kinetic energy is proportional to temperature...

Kinetic energy is also proportional to relativistic mass.(in Special Relativity) So is the mass of entangled photons defined by the kinetic energy of the photons or photon before they got entangled? (conservation of mass/energy)

The conservation rules apply for entangled systems just as they do for individual particles. If you knew the total input momentum with little uncertainty, then you would know the entangled system's total momentum with little uncertainty.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

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!
