Physics

Quantum Entanglement in Photonic Communication

Quick fact

Quantum entanglement allows photons to be linked in such a way that the measurement of one instantly determines the state of the other, even across vast distances.

Why this is interesting

Imagine two particles that, no matter how far apart they are, somehow 'know' each other's state instantly—without any physical signal passing between them. How is this possible?
