genericusrnme said:if you take two electrons, put them together, their magnetic moments will point in opposite directions
you take them apart and measure the direction of one. once you have measured this you instantly know something about the other electron no matter how far away it is, even though there is a probability when measuring the direction of the first electron.
when you put the two electrons together so you don't know which way they are pointing, but you know the two are in opposite directions, you can say that they are entangled
hope this brief description helps :)
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle affects the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them.
Quantum entanglement occurs when two or more particles are created or interact in a way that their properties become correlated. This means that the state of one particle cannot be fully described without considering the other particle(s). This connection between particles is known as entanglement.
The significance of quantum entanglement is that it challenges our understanding of the physical world and the laws that govern it. It also has important implications for quantum computing, cryptography, and communication.
Yes, quantum entanglement has been observed in many experiments. However, it is important to note that entanglement itself cannot be directly observed, but its effects can be measured and observed.
No, quantum entanglement cannot be used for faster-than-light communication. While entangled particles can influence each other instantaneously, this does not violate the speed of light, as no information is actually being transmitted between the particles.
