Entangled States

Entangled states occur when two or more particles become linked so that the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, regardless of the distance separating them. Imagine two gloves: if you find a left glove in one box, you instantly know the other box contains a right glove. In quantum physics, entangled particles are like these gloves, but their properties are linked in a way that measurement on one determines the state of the other instantly, even across vast distances. This phenomenon challenges classical ideas of local independence and highlights the fundamental interconnectedness in quantum systems.
