  2. Quantum entanglement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement

    e. Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle of the group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, including when the particles are separated by a large distance.

  3. Bell's theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell's_theorem

    Bell's theorem is a term encompassing a number of closely related results in physics, all of which determine that quantum mechanics is incompatible with local hidden-variable theories, given some basic assumptions about the nature of measurement. "Local" here refers to the principle of locality, the idea that a particle can only be influenced ...

  4. Quantum nonlocality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_nonlocality

    Quantum entanglement can be defined only within the formalism of quantum mechanics, i.e., it is a model-dependent property. In contrast, nonlocality refers to the impossibility of a description of observed statistics in terms of a local hidden variable model, so it is independent of the physical model used to describe the experiment.

  5. Hidden-variable theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden-variable_theory

    Quantum mechanics. In physics, a hidden-variable theory is a deterministic physical model which seeks to explain the probabilistic nature of quantum mechanics by introducing additional (possibly inaccessible) variables. Indeterminacy of the state of a system previous to measurement is assumed to be a part of the mathematical formulation of ...

  6. Bell state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_state

    v. t. e. In quantum information science, the Bell's states or EPR pairs[ 1 ]: 25 are specific quantum states of two qubits that represent the simplest examples of quantum entanglement. The Bell's states are a form of entangled and normalized basis vectors. This normalization implies that the overall probability of the particle being in one of ...

  7. Entropy of entanglement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entropy_of_entanglement

    The entropy of entanglement is the Von Neumann entropy of the reduced density matrix for any of the subsystems. If it is non-zero, it indicates the two subsystems are entangled. More mathematically; if a state describing two subsystems A and B is a separable state, then the reduced density matrix is a pure state.

  8. Measurement problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_problem

    t. e. In quantum mechanics, the measurement problem is the problem of definite outcomes: quantum systems have superpositions but quantum measurements only give one definite result. [1][2] The wave function in quantum mechanics evolves deterministically according to the Schrödinger equation as a linear superposition of different states. However ...

  9. Bell test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_test

    Quantum mechanics. A Bell test, also known as Bell inequality test or Bell experiment, is a real-world physics experiment designed to test the theory of quantum mechanics in relation to Albert Einstein 's concept of local realism. Named for John Stewart Bell, the experiments test whether or not the real world satisfies local realism, which ...
