Entanglement Swapping

StarStarStarStar

A quantum protocol where a pair of entangled particles transfers its entanglement to two other particles that have never interacted.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum Key Distribution

StarStarStarStar

A secure communication technique which uses quantum mechanics, especially entanglement, to enable two parties to produce a shared, random secret key known only to them for encrypting and decrypting messages.

StarStarStarStar

Nonlocality

StarStarStarStar

The concept that an object can be influenced directly by another object at any distance, without any exchange through the space in between.

StarStarStarStar

Local Realism

StarStarStarStar

The belief that objects have definite properties and states independent of measurement, and that information cannot travel faster than the speed of light.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum Teleportation

StarStarStarStar

A process by which the state of a particle can be transmitted from one location to another, with the help of entanglement and classical communication.

StarStarStarStar

No-Cloning Theorem

StarStarStarStar

A theorem stating that it is impossible to create an identical copy of an arbitrary unknown quantum state.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum State

StarStarStarStar

The state of a quantum system, fully described by a wave function, which encodes the probabilities of the outcomes of all possible measurements on the system.

StarStarStarStar

Bell's Theorem

StarStarStarStar

A theorem that shows no physical theory of local hidden variables can ever reproduce all of the predictions of quantum mechanics.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum Superposition

StarStarStarStar

A fundamental principle of quantum mechanics whereby a particle exists in all its possible states simultaneously, but when measured, it gives results corresponding to only one of the possible configurations.

StarStarStarStar

Spin

StarStarStarStar

A fundamental quantum property of particles that is akin to angular momentum, but not exactly the same as the classical spinning motion.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum Decoherence

StarStarStarStar

The process by which a quantum system loses its quantum properties when interacting with an environment, leading to the classical or non-quantum behavior.

StarStarStarStar

EPR Paradox

StarStarStarStar

A thought experiment by Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen that questions the completeness of quantum mechanics, demonstrating the peculiar nature of quantum entanglement.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum Correlations

StarStarStarStar

Correlations between entangled particles' measurements that are too strong to be explained by classical physics, thus revealing the quantum nature of the particles.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum Dense Coding

StarStarStarStar

A technique used to send two bits of classical information using only one entangled qubit, by exploiting the properties of quantum entanglement.

StarStarStarStar

Quantum Entanglement

StarStarStarStar

A phenomenon where two particles become connected in such a way that the state of one instantly influences the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them.
