Do they have to vibrate at the same frequency or something similar?
Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles become linked together in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, even when they are separated by large distances.
Particles become quantum entangled when they interact with each other in a way that their quantum states become correlated. This can happen through various interactions such as collisions or when they are created together in the same quantum system.
In theory, any two particles with quantum properties can become entangled. However, entanglement is a delicate phenomenon and requires specific conditions to occur, so not all particles are easily entangled.
Quantum entanglement challenges the idea of local realism in Einstein's theory of relativity, as it suggests that particles can influence each other instantaneously, regardless of distance. This is in contrast to the principle of causality, which states that no information can travel faster than the speed of light.
While quantum entanglement is a fascinating phenomenon, it is still not fully understood and its practical applications are limited. However, it has potential uses in quantum computing, secure communication, and quantum teleportation, but more research is needed to fully harness its power.
