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.
