High School Understanding Entangled Particles in Different Time Frames

Click For Summary
Entangled particles exhibit correlations that challenge our understanding of time and causality, especially when one particle travels at relativistic speeds. Different observers in varying frames of reference may perceive the timing of state determination differently, raising questions about the nature of these correlations. Quantum mechanics does not provide a mechanism for faster-than-light communication between entangled particles, as there is no absolute order of measurements. Instead, the correlations arise from the particles being prepared in an entangled state, as demonstrated in quantum field theory. The discussion emphasizes that the underlying principles of quantum entanglement are rooted in conservation laws rather than any form of communication.

Here is something I don't understand which I expect someone here can explain.

If one member of an entangled pair goes on a trip at relativistic speeds, there will be two different frames of observation, with two different elapsed times.
The time frames can get off-set by years, over a long trip.
If one of the pair is interacted with, determining its state, when does this "immediate" effect also determine the state of the other half of the entangled pair (in its different time frame)?

It seems like two different time frames would predict two different times for the second particle to become determined, depending on which time frame was used. Or maybe the "causal" side of the pair sets the interaction?

It doesn’t matter. If they are spacelike separated then no experiment can distinguish the order

This is precisely the point about quantum entanglement. It's not enough to postulate a FTL communication mechanism, since there is no absolute sense in which one measurement takes place before the other.

Postulating that the two particles communicate fails on those two points.

QM is silent on how nature achieves correlation of measurements on an entangled pair. There's a discussion of the "possibilities" here:

QM, or better QFT, tells us precisely, how the correlations are "achieved". It's simply, because the particles are somehow prepared in an entangled state. One example is the decay of a neutral pion ##\pi^0 \rightarrow 2 \gamma##. This creates two photons with momenta ##\vec{k}## and ##-\vec{k}## with total angular-momentum 0 (due to energy-momentum conservation and angular-momentum conservation). This makes an entangled two-photon state
$$|\Psi \rangle = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} [\hat{a}^{\dagger}(\vec{k},1) \hat{a}^{\dagger}(-\vec{k},-1)-\hat{a}^{\dagger}(\vec{k},-1) \hat{a}^{\dagger}(-\vec{k},1)]|\Omega \rangle.$$
Here ##\hat{a}^{\dagger}(\vec{k},\lambda)## is the creation operator for a photon with momentum ##\vec{k}## and helicity ##\lambda##. This is an entangled photon state having all the astonishing properties such states have, particularly you can perform experiments violating Bell's inequality and all that. So QT indeed explains, how the correlations come about, namely in this case simply due to entanglement following from conservation laws.
 
MOVING CLOCKS In this section, we show that clocks moving at high speeds run slowly. We construct a clock, called a light clock, using a stick of proper lenght ##L_0##, and two mirrors. The two mirrors face each other, and a pulse of light bounces back and forth betweem them. Each time the light pulse strikes one of the mirrors, say the lower mirror, the clock is said to tick. Between successive ticks the light pulse travels a distance ##2L_0## in the proper reference of frame of the clock...
