Entanglement - a Quantum Mechanical
Phenomenon
• Quantum mechanical correlations
among two or more particles
• „spooky action at a distance“
• „entanglement is not one but
rather the characteristic trait of
quantum mechanics, the one that
enforces its entire departure from
classical lines of thought“
Albert Einstein
Erwin Schrödinger
Schrödinger 1932
The claim ... has the strange consequence that the
Ψ-function of a system [System I] is changed by the
performance of a measurement on a different, far
separated system [System II] ...
Schrödinger Archiv,Wien
Schrödinger 1932 Schrödinger Archiv,Wien
This makes it a bit difficult to view the change in the
Ψ-function as a Naturvorgang.x)
...
x) the matter becomes even more strange, if we
perform a different measurement on [System II] ...
Alice and Bob
• Long distances
• Communication of measurement results
• Particles in the hands of
• Each equipped with a laboratory
Alice Bob
and
Information
• The bit = unit of information
on/off
heads/tails
north pole/ south pole
Information
• random bit
child plays with switch
toss of a coin
travel lottery
Correlated Bits
• Alice gets result
Bob the opposite
• Alice heads Bob tails
Alice tails Bob heads
• Random, but correlated bits
Qubit, the Quantum Bit
• Unit of quantum information
• Many possible states (dots on a sphere)
• Example: photon polarisation

Qubit
• We cannot measure accurately the state
of the qubit.
• We can only measure, if the state is in one
of two antipodal points:
• North or south pole?
• Madrid or Wellington?
• Bangkok or Lima?
Qubit
• State: North pole
Measurement: North or south pole?
Result: North pole
• State: Copenhagen
Measurement: North or south pole?
Result: Nordpol (Cos2 35°/2≈91%)
• State: Singapur
Measurement: North or south pole?
Result: North pole (Cos2 90°/2=50%)
•Measurement changes the state

Determinism?
• In classical physics, the measurement
result exists before the performance of
the measurement (realism)
• Is there an element of reality which
determines the measurement result in
quantum mechanics?
• No: Measurement results are inherently
probabilistic.
The world is not deterministic
