Particles can't be poly-entangled? Why not? A wavefunction is by definition a function of all particles. Breaking it into a separate function for each particle is merely an approximation to facilitate calculations.
- teilo 14y agoPardon my lack of precision. I should have said "thoroughly entangled". What you say is true of partial entanglement. But partial entanglement is not what we are dealing with in event-horizons and virtual pairs. As the article states, in order to maintain consistency between observers, all particles must be thoroughly entangled.
- Xcelerate 14y agoInteresting. I'm not an expert on the subject; could you explain what thorough entanglement vs partial is?
