Definition ∞ Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles become linked, sharing the same fate regardless of distance. The state of one entangled particle instantly influences the state of the others. This interconnectedness allows for highly secure communication. It is a foundational principle for quantum computing.
Context ∞ While not directly applicable to current blockchain operations, quantum entanglement informs long-term security considerations for digital assets. News discussions often reference quantum computing advancements and their potential to compromise existing cryptographic algorithms. Research into quantum-resistant cryptographic methods is a critical area of development.
