Has entanglement in quantum physics been experimentally validated?

SUMMARY

Entanglement in quantum physics has been experimentally validated through thousands of experiments, confirming its existence and behavior as predicted by quantum mechanics. Key methods include generating pairs of entangled particles and demonstrating perfect correlations using the cos^2(theta) function for photons, reaching a maximum of 1 at angles of 0 or 90 degrees. The violation of Bell inequalities further substantiates the non-locality of entangled particles, disproving many hidden variable theories. Recent experiments have eliminated loopholes in the diffraction limit tests, reinforcing the completeness of quantum mechanics.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of quantum mechanics principles, particularly entanglement
  • Familiarity with Bell's theorem and Bell inequalities

NEXT STEPS
  • Study the implications of Bell's theorem on local realism
  • Explore the mathematical foundations of quantum entanglement
  • Investigate recent advancements in quantum optics and entangled photon experiments
  • Learn about the role of superdeterminism in quantum mechanics
USEFUL FOR

Physicists, quantum mechanics students, researchers in quantum optics, and anyone interested in the experimental validation of quantum theories.

It has nothing to do with having an "open mind". And open mind is a dangerous thing to have. Flies might fall into it.

The best and most effective use of a forum such as this is if one focuses on a particular, narrow topic, not some broad topic such as wanting to learn quantum mechanics, which one does in a standard college course. You cannot expect to be schooled in something that broad, and in, of all places, a public forum! This is pure laziness!

If you truly want to learn about QM, then open a QM text and learn from it. If you have specific questions, then ask that specific question on here after you've made an honest attempt at understanding it. That is the most effective way of learning anything, if that is what you really want to do.

A broad, open-ended, vague, and often meandering thread like this isn't the way to do it. It is now closed.
