Is entanglement effected by space-time?

In summary, entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where particles become connected and their states are dependent on each other. It occurs when particles interact and can be influenced by external factors. However, it is limited by space-time and has implications for understanding the structure of space-time and potential applications in technology.

Is entanglement effected by space-time? other than, of course, when entanglement is created/destroyed...Some related thoughts:

- information transfer needs mass-energy to carry it

- mass-energy cannot travel faster than speed of light

- in entanglement...mass-energy is not involved...(in the "classic/time-space" sense), information is not transferred

Related to Is entanglement effected by space-time?

1. What is entanglement?

Entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, even if they are separated by a large distance.

2. How does entanglement occur?

Entanglement occurs when two or more particles interact in a way that their quantum states become correlated. This can happen through various processes such as collisions or through the sharing of a common origin.

3. Is entanglement limited by space-time?

Yes, entanglement is limited by space-time. The effects of entanglement can only be observed within a certain distance and at certain times due to the constraints of the speed of light and the structure of space-time.

4. Can entanglement be influenced by external factors?

Yes, entanglement can be influenced by external factors such as temperature, pressure, and electromagnetic fields. These factors can affect the stability and strength of entanglement between particles.

5. What are the implications of entanglement being affected by space-time?

The implications of entanglement being affected by space-time are still being explored by scientists. It could potentially lead to a better understanding of the structure of space-time and its relationship to quantum mechanics. It also has potential applications in quantum computing and secure communication.
