hi there
I am an engineer but have a huge interest in physics and wanted to ask anyone who has any knowledge of why quantum entanglement occurs?

The conservation laws is one reason. E.g. conservation of spin angular momentum. If two spin 1/2 particles are created from a spin zero system, and you measure the spin of them both about some axis, then the measured spins must be equal and opposite.

Note that the same is true for classical particles. The difference is that in QM the particles spin is not determined at creation yet the measurements are perfectly correlated. This is often known as quantum non-locality. That's what all the fuss is about!

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!

Thread 'Does a qubit break interference in the double slit experiment?'

According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
