Entanglement
Definition
A quantum phenomenon where two or more particles become correlated such that the state of one cannot be described independently of the other, regardless of the distance separating them.
AI Explanation
Examples
- • Two entangled qubits in a Bell state: measuring one as |0⟩ instantly means the other is |0⟩ too, even if light-years apart.
- • EPR pairs used in quantum teleportation protocols.
