Hi,
So far I understand that when two particles are entangled measuring the state will provide the same result for both particles. But what I can't figure out: a particle has multiple properties like spin and momentum etc, are all these properties the same (or opposite), or only the one measured? Can one be sure that all properties are the same? Or can one be sure that if spin is equal, momentum is always not equal? Or is it unknown?
For example two entangled photons with the same polarization, do the two photons always have opposite momentum?
I hope some one can shed some light on this point or point me in the right direction.
