Einstein and the Quantum: Entanglement and Emergence
World Science Festival・2 minutes read
Einstein's 1935 papers on quantum entanglement and black holes, originally thought unrelated, are now seen as connected, impacting quantum mechanics and general relativity by challenging classical physics with probabilistic predictions and suggesting a link between wormholes and quantum entanglement. Recent developments highlight the essential role of quantum mechanics in understanding the relationship between gravity and the quantum realm, emphasizing the inseparable nature of these two fundamental aspects of physics.
Insights
