What the bleep is Quantum Entanglement?!
I really need to know. Truly, Jacqui Alexander, Tennessee Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles, such as two photons, are created from a single source. In laboratories, paired photons are often created by shooting individual photons from a laser through a specifically structured crystal. As the photon passes through the crystal it sometimes divides and becomes two photons operating at a lowered energy frequency than the original photon. The frequency states of the twin photons if added together however, equal the original photon’s total energy frequency. Nothing is lost in the splitting. From the moment of their creation, the quantum states of the twin photons are intertwined. (Remember that entanglement happens with all kinds of particles, including electrons. I’m just using photons as the example here.) By quantum state I mean the spin state, or polarity of each photon. Although photons don’t actually spin on an axis or have a polarized charge, they act as if they did, and “
