Is there such a thing as position entanglement?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
For sure there is.
For example, every time a quantum object interacts (collides) with another, you will be likely to observe entanglement of position.
In a first look, entaglement of positions read as follows:

At a time t after the two objects having interacted...
If object A is in position 1, object B is in position 2
If object A is in position 3, object B is in position 4
If object A is in position 5, object B is in position 6
If object A is in position 7, object B is in position 8

and so on. But this is not the whole story, for this does not account for interference effects, which are part of the entanglement phenomenology.

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

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!

Thread 'Does a qubit break interference in the double slit experiment?'

According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
