Is it possible to quantum link daughter particles from a fission event.

That is to say, at certain atomic transmutations are the daughter particles sufficiently deterministic that they can be quantum entangled from a measurement perspective.

I am aware that I 1) do not know when the fission will occur, 2) do not know the actual trajectories of the daughter particles at 3d space. yet it occurred to me that really simple fissions at cool temps might be quantum linkable as a result of high detrminism as well as high observability

As long as you isolate the fission products from the environment, they can be entangled. The simplest entanglement is via the decay time, which you always have. However, I don't know how to do anything useful or interesting with that.

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!
