Description

Did you know that two particles could interact instantaneously across vast distances? This is possible through quantum entanglement. One way to do this is to correlate two particles in an entangled state. These particles can have two different spins, where the chance of a particle having either spin up or down is completely random. However, when the two particles are entangled and the spin of one particle is measured, the other entangled particle will always have the opposite spin. Strangely, this can happen regardless of the distance between them, exhibiting non-local interdependence! This “quantum spookiness” has been experimentally demonstrated with photons and electrons. Quantum entanglement has potential applications in many fields, particularly quantum computing and cryptography.
