Quantum Entanglement Explained

About

In quantum physics, objects can become so inextricably intertwined that it’s no longer fair to think of them separately. They assume a new, collective identity that can persist even if they’re separated by vast distances. Two or more objects linked in this special quantum way are said to be entangled—a situation without parallel in our everyday experience. Entangled objects share a peculiar bond: When one member of an entangled collection is queried (that is, measured), its answer is always tightly linked, or correlated, to the answers of the other objects in the group. Scientists call the connection shared by entangled particles “entanglement.”
