What is meant by entanglement sudden death?
- A.The complete decay of both particles to the ground state
- B.The abrupt vanishing of entanglement at a finite time, before decay is complete
- C.The failure of a quantum computer to read out a result
- D.The collapse of a wave function on measurement
Show answer
The release explains that each of two entangled particles tends to slip from the excited state to the ground state the way an atom loses energy to its surroundings, and that the entanglement weakens as this happens.
