CORE DEFINITION

Two or more particles form a special correlation such that no matter how far apart they are, measuring the state of one particle instantly affects the state of the others. Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance."

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Challenges the principle of locality. Entanglement shows that in some cases, the whole is truly greater than the sum of its parts. This inspires us to look for systems that are "seemingly separate but actually correlated"—from team synergy to market linkages.

Anchor fast decisions

Quantum entanglement refers to two or more particles forming a collective state where the state of an individual particle cannot be described independently, and measuring one particle instantaneously determines the corresponding outcome for the other, regardless of distance.
