entanglement

This kind of mutual dependency, even in particles separated by great distances, is known as entanglement.

Quantum entanglement

Quantum entanglement consists of two or more separate particles whose physical properties are so correlated that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently.

with each other in pairs in a process known as correlation

Particles that have interacted at some point retain a type of connection and can be entangled with each other in pairs, in a process known as correlation.

Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles remain connected

Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles remain connected, even over large distances, so that actions performed on one particle have an effect on the other.

Entanglement is a quantum phenomenon

Entanglement is a quantum phenomenon in which particles become inseparably entwined, sharing a single physical description that specifies their possible combined states.

the exact state

In addition, entangled particles can not have the exact state.

Genuine multipartite entanglement

Genuine multipartite entanglement comes in various species that populate a rich zoo.

entanglement is more commonplace

However, in the world of condensed matter physics — the study of solids — entanglement is more commonplace.

the very same state

Furthermore, entangled particles can not have the very same state.

Entanglement arises naturally

Entanglement arises naturally when two particles are created at the same point and instant in space, for example.

Entanglement is a weird state where two particles remain intimately connected

Entanglement is a weird state where two particles remain intimately connected, even when separated over vast distances, like two die that must always show the same numbers when rolled.

Certain objects can become linked by a mysterious process called entanglement

entanglement has since been proven to be a very real feature

But entanglement has since been proven to be a very real feature of our universe, and one that has extraordinary potential to advance all manner of scientific endeavor.

an open question

Would these particle be found in nature is today an open question.

as individual particles with defined states only as a complete system

Physically, entangled particles cannot be described as individual particles with defined states, but only as a complete system.

another lesser-known property of particles , but slightly different that is similar in nature

The idea of entangled particles has been in the news a lot lately as researchers around the world attempt to use the world attempt for various purposes—but there is another lesser-known property of particles that is similar in nature, but slightly different.

particles can be connected over large distances

However, modern physics experiments have shown that entanglement is real — particles can be connected over large distances.

exhibit signs of being entangled with one another

Experiments mentioned in the Scientific American, Living in a Quantum World, indicate that many macro-scale entities such as birds, plants, and salt crystals exhibit signs of being entangled with one another.

strongly interconnected

Particles, atoms or molecules described as being entangled are usually so strongly interconnected – physicists use the word correlated – that they are able to exchange information regardless of whether they are next to each other or millions of kilometers apart.
