10 Questions
What is quantum entanglement?
Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon that occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated, interact, or share spatial proximity in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the others, even when the particles are separated by a large distance.
What leads to correlations between observable physical properties of entangled systems?
Quantum entanglement leads to correlations between observable physical properties of the systems.
What does the principle of superposition predict in regards to entangled particles?
The principle of superposition predicts that the two particles instantly become entangled in a joint state so that the state of one particle immediately influences the state of the other particle.
Can the spin state of two particles become entangled?
Yes, the spin state of two particles can become entangled.
What happens if the spin of one entangled particle is measured to be up?
If the spin of one entangled particle is measured to be up, the spin of the other particle is instantly known to be down, no matter the distance between them.
Which particles can become entangled?
Pairs or groups of particles
What happens to the quantum state of each particle in entanglement?
It cannot be described independently
What is the immediate influence between entangled particles?
One particle's state influences the other particle's state
What is an example of entanglement involving spin states?
Two particles with opposite spins
What is known about the spin of the other particle if one entangled particle is measured to be up?
It is instantly known to be down
