So what is entanglement?<\/p>\n<p>Electrons have a quantum property called spin that makes them act like little magnets. We\u2019ll always measure it pointing in one direction or the opposite: up or down, say. If we entangle two electrons so that their spins are always pointing in opposite directions, the two spins are said to be correlated. If we entangle the two electrons in this way \u2013 and fire them in opposite directions, we don\u2019t know which one of the pair is up and which one is down until we make a measurement. If we find that electron 1 is spin up. We know the spin of electron 2 must be down.<\/p>\n<p>Why isn\u2019t this like a pair of gloves? The handedness of the gloves is there from the start. It never changes. With entangled particles that\u2019s not the case. They are in a superposition. Prior to measurement, there is no definite answer.<\/p>\n<p>How do we know superposition is real? The double slit experiment is good evidence. Entangled particles are stranger, because a measurement on one particle determines the outcome for both of them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"more-link-wrapper\"> <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/lifeboat.com\/blog\/2023\/12\/quantum-entanglement-explained-how-does-it-really-work\">Continue reading \u201cQuantum Entanglement Explained \u2014 How does it really work?\u201d | &gt;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To learn QM or quantum computing in depth, check out: https:\/\/brilliant.org\/arvinash \u2014 Their course called \u201cQuantum computing\u201d is one of the best.
