Quantum Entanglement

Entanglement is not a permanent property of a quantum state; rather, it is determined by the


specific decomposition of the composite system into subsystems under study. In accordance with
quantum theory, when one of the two qubits is measured, the other's state is also instantly
determined. The so-called EPR paradox was discovered by Einstein and his associates because of this
quantum entanglement behaviour: that no matter how far apart two qubits are from one another,
the measurement of one alters the state of the other instantly. This issue was first brought up by
Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen in a qualitative thought experiment; Bell demonstrated that it could
be verified statistically (entanglement).
