Quantum linking daughter particles from a fission

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the feasibility of quantum linking daughter particles resulting from a fission event. Participants explore the potential for quantum entanglement of these particles under conditions of high determinism and observability, particularly during simple fissions at lower temperatures. It is established that isolating fission products from environmental interference is crucial for achieving entanglement. The simplest form of entanglement identified is through the decay time of the particles, although practical applications remain unclear.

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.
