I need actual examples of entanglements where they go on and on...

Let's start with you observing the spin up and spin down of a particle.. so you become entangled with the state of the particle..

so "spin up and you" and "spin down and you" become terms of the entanglement where only the whole system has wave functions..

Now I'd like to understand what experimental setup where you can form another entanglement with the say "spin down and you" and so on.. I'd like to understand how the terms can break away and each MWI branch forms more entanglement.. so your single initial awareness becomes billions of awareness in the never ending entanglements..

Let's give more detail...

I observe spin up and spin down

"spin up and I" and "spin down and I" become the two terms of the entanglement
Let's say Gerry observes me..
would it form "spin up and I and Gerry" and "spin down and I and Gerry" in the entanglement or can Gerry only form entanglement with either one of the "spin up and I" and "spin down and I" and not both of them? What experiment situation where Gerry can form entanglement with both or either one of the terms only?

Yes.

No.

No.

But there is only one outcome in this world.. for example, only "spin up and I" comes out.. so if Gerry observes me.. he should see me "spin up and I" only.. why should he be able to see and entangle with the "spin down and I" which is in another branch?

We've already gone round and round about this before. I'd just be repeating the same things I've said to you in previous threads. There's no point to doing that.

Thread closed.
 
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!
