Frequently Asked Questions

Clear answers to common questions about quantum entanglement and our research.

What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where particles become interconnected—measuring the state of one instantly determines the state of the other, even when separated by vast distances.

How does entanglement work across space?

While the exact mechanism remains a topic of research, entangled particles maintain a mysterious connection that transcends classical distance limitations. This forms the basis for quantum encryption and teleportation.

Can entanglement transmit information faster than light?

Entanglement correlations appear instantaneous but cannot be used to send messages faster than light. The measurement outcomes are random and require classical communication to interpret.

What practical applications exist?

Applications include ultra-secure quantum cryptography, advanced sensors, and next-generation quantum computing systems that solve problems intractable for classical computers.
