Entanglement is perhaps one of the most confusing aspects of quantum mechanics. On its surface, entanglement allows particles to communicate over vast distances instantly, apparently violating the speed of light. But while entangled particles are connected, they don’t necessarily share information between them.In quantum mechanics, a particle isn’t really a particle. Instead of being a hard, solid, precise point, a particle is really a cloud of fuzzy probabilities, with those probabilities describing where we might find the particle when we go to actually look for it. But until we actually perform a measurement, we can’t exactly know everything we’d like to know about the particle.These fuzzy probabilities are known as quantum states. In certain circumstances, we can connect two particles in a quantum way, so that a single mathematical equation describes both sets of probabilities simultaneously. When this happens, we say that the particles are entangled. ... Paul M. Sutter

2 周Entangled particles don’t travel faster than light—but their connection? Instantaneous. Beyond space, beyond time. Einstein called it “spooky action at a distance,” but maybe it’s just proof that the universe plays by deeper rules than we can grasp. I’ve been thinking about this since I was a kid—about what’s possible beyond the limits we accept. While others see barriers, I see pathways. Quantum mechanics, innovation, speed—whether in thought, technology, or life—I move where others hesitate. And to those still bound by classical thinking, let me ask: Are you ready to break the limits? Because I already have. Oh, and to a certain someone reading this—some connections, like entanglement, are inevitable. Once linked, never forgotten.

2 个月I once read a technical paper on this topic and THINK I understood it. What I came away with was this: Any attempt at superluminal communication using entangled photons will be indistinguishable from noise on the receiving end. Therefore, entangled photons cannot be used to transmit information faster than the speed of light.

2 个月The answer is no, not in the classical way. That is, QE doesn't violate Einstein's locality.
