An Introduction to Entanglement
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two or more quantum particles become linked in such a way that their fates are intertwined, regardless of the distance separating them. This means that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the others; they essentially behave as a single system. If you were to measure a property of one entangled particle, you would instantaneously know the corresponding property of the other particle(s), no matter how far apart they are. This interconnectedness is a fundamental departure from the principles of classical physics and lies at the heart of quantum mechanics.
