Quantum Entanglement

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two or more particles become interconnected, such that the state of one particle instantaneously influences the state of the other, regardless of the distance separating them. This occurs at the quantum level and can be understood through different frameworks like wave mechanics and matrix mechanics. In quantum information theory, entangled particles are crucial for quantum computing and secure communication, as they enable complex correlations that classical systems can't achieve. Essentially, entanglement suggests that particles can be deeply linked, challenging our classical notions of independence and locality.
