SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the phase difference between two entangled particles, emphasizing that the entire multiple-particle system is represented by a single wave function rather than individual wave functions for each particle. It clarifies that the phase difference for entangled particles is not simply 0, 90, or 180 degrees, but rather a more complex relationship dictated by the system's wave function. Additionally, it draws a parallel to lasers, which are described by a single wave with a phase difference of 0 degrees.
