SUMMARY

Entangled photons exhibit properties that relate to their kinetic energy and relativistic mass. When photons are entangled, their kinetic energy, which is proportional to temperature, does not change the fundamental conservation laws governing mass and energy. The conservation rules remain applicable to entangled systems, allowing for precise predictions of total momentum when the input momentum is known with minimal uncertainty.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum entanglement
  • Knowledge of kinetic energy and its relation to temperature
  • Familiarity with relativistic mass in the context of Special Relativity

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.
