Theoretical Quantum Entanglement Question

In summary, the quantum entanglement observed daily could be evidence of quantum entanglement that occurred during the big bang. However, there is no proof that the universe came from a single "particle" or entity, and it is still unknown what would happen if the energy density were higher before the big bang.

If Quantum Entanglement is real and observable, then what is stopping us from making the following observation: provided that the big bang was real and did occur, and provided that the initial occurrence of the big bang was from a single "particle" or entity, what is stopping us from concluding that every particle in existence in the current universe is thus quantum-ly entangled in some way since they were all hypothetically generated not only from the same event (big bang) but perhaps even from the same original "particle" or entity.

Your question remind me the many world interpretation. You can think that the our whole university is a 'big' quantum state and evolve over time. You may believe it, but this statement is not an observable under today's physical understanding cos we have only one universe. In order to make have conclusion of quantum measurement, we have to prepare many ensemble of same system. But we only have one universe.

And nothing proves that the universe comes from one entity. There is even no reason to think so.

At the time of Plank, the universe was like it is now. The energy density was just higher.
Before that, we don't know. As John Wheeler used to say, such a density would destroy space-time as we know it. Therefore we can't state that before this instant, the density was higher, lower, or even defined.

Maybe in a sense they are.

Would that conclusion have anything to do with the kind of quantum entanglement that observed daily? Because that certainly is real.
 

What is theoretical quantum entanglement?

Theoretical quantum entanglement refers to a phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, even when separated by a large distance.

How does quantum entanglement occur?

Quantum entanglement occurs when two or more particles interact and become entangled. This can happen through various processes such as collisions or interactions with other particles.

What are some potential applications of quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement has potential applications in fields such as cryptography, quantum computing, and quantum teleportation. It also plays a crucial role in understanding the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics.

Can quantum entanglement be observed in everyday life?

No, quantum entanglement can only be observed on a microscopic scale and under specific conditions. It is not something that can be observed or experienced in our everyday lives.

What are some current challenges in studying theoretical quantum entanglement?

One of the main challenges in studying theoretical quantum entanglement is the difficulty in controlling and manipulating entangled particles. Another challenge is the lack of a complete understanding of how entanglement works, as it goes against our classical understanding of the physical world.
