What is quantum entanglement?

What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles become interconnected, such that the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them.

How does it work in simple terms?

Imagine two coins that are entangled. If you flip one and it lands on heads, the other will instantly show tails, no matter how far apart they are.

What are the implications of quantum entanglement?

It has profound implications for quantum computing, cryptography, and our understanding of the universe, challenging classical notions of locality.

Can entanglement be used for communication?

Not directly, as entanglement doesn't allow for faster-than-light communication. However, it can enhance secure communication methods.

Are there any experiments that demonstrate this?

Yes, experiments like the Bell test experiments have demonstrated entanglement and its non-local properties.
