Is quantum entanglement - Continuous?

In summary, quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where particles become connected in a way that affects their states regardless of distance. It occurs when particles are created or interact in a way that causes their quantum states to be dependent on each other, and it has potential applications in quantum computing, secure communication, and more. It cannot be explained by classical physics and is a continuous phenomenon.

We have two concepts - discrete and continuous

While the concept of discrete tends to be associated with quantum mechanics;

Is quantum entanglement a resource that hints at continuity even when (the entangled particles are) separated in time-space?

Things can be discrete and continuous in different ways and the concepts embody a range of ideas. Can you be specific?
 

Related to Is quantum entanglement - Continuous?

1. What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle affects the state of the other(s), regardless of the distance between them.

2. How does quantum entanglement work?

Quantum entanglement occurs when two or more particles are created or interact in a way that causes their quantum states to be dependent on each other. This means that measuring or changing the state of one particle will also affect the state of the other(s), even if they are separated by large distances.

3. Is quantum entanglement continuous?

Yes, quantum entanglement is a continuous phenomenon. It does not have a specific start or end point, and it can persist over time and distance as long as the particles remain connected.

4. What are the applications of quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement has potential applications in quantum computing, secure communication, and quantum teleportation. It also plays a crucial role in our understanding of quantum mechanics and may lead to new discoveries in the field.

5. Can quantum entanglement be explained by classical physics?

No, quantum entanglement is a unique phenomenon that cannot be explained by classical physics. It is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics and is still not fully understood by scientists.
