Quantum Entanglement and Its Historical Development in Physics
Quantum entanglement involves particles that remain connected regardless of distance, allowing instantaneous correlations. The concept was proposed in 1935 and confirmed through experiments in later decades. This phenomenon challenges classical ideas of information transfer in ph…
