Definition: quantum entanglement


The correlation of particles separated by distance so that what happens in one affects the other. For decades, quantum entanglement has been a major topic in quantum mechanics and has been a point of contention between scientists in classical physics and quantum physics. In many experiments, quantum entanglement has been shown to exist in one form or another. Albert Einstein called quantum entanglement "spooky action at a distance."
