Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon where two or more particles become inextricably linked, sharing a single quantum state regardless of the distance separating them. Measuring the state of one particle instantly determines the state of the other, a connection Albert Einstein famously termed "spooky action at a distance".
Key Aspects of Quantum Entanglement:
Instantaneous Correlation: The measurement of one particle affects the other instantly, faster than the speed of light.
Non-separability: The particles cannot be described individually; they act as a single, unified system.
Superposition: Until measured, the particles exist in multiple, combined states simultaneously.
Applications: It is foundational to quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation.
