Quantum Nonlocality

Definition

Quantum nonlocality describes the phenomenon where entangled particles exhibit instantaneous, correlated behavior regardless of spatial separation. This property indicates that measurements performed on one particle in an entangled pair immediately influence the state of its distant partner, without any classical information exchange. It represents a fundamental departure from classical physics, suggesting a deeper, interconnected reality at the quantum level. The existence of quantum nonlocality has been experimentally verified through Bell tests.
