Science Education | The Enigma of Entangled Particles

It is a recognized fact that anomaly called quantum entanglement, a quantum mechanic prediction, does not only astound but fascinates the scientists as well. Taken for a core, entanglement means positioning of a system where a quantum states of two or more particles become connected in a mode that their states instantaneously influence each other irrespective of the spatial distance that could be.

This conception radically transforms our traditional understanding of physics, where actions are usually considered to be the relics of a “local principle” that is contained by the frame of reference. Rather than that, interlacedness implies a form of 'telepathy' among the particles which is inherently inseparable from classical understanding of space and time.

What scientists have to face here has even greater significance than the determination of the described figure. Although there is still some skepticism about its applicability in quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation, scientists are actively looking for opportunities to use it in these fields. Additionally, running experiments also help in seeing through the puzzles of entanglement that for turns to the understanding of the reality itself.

With every breakthrough we make in the understanding of quantum mechanics, the entanglement phenomenon reveals itself as testament to the world of the quantum not only being different from the classical realm, but also intriguing, enigmatic and sometimes contradictory.
