Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon in which the quantum state of each particle in a group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, even when the particles are separated by a large distance.

Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the others.

The phenomenon was described in a 1935 paper by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, and the term entanglement was coined that same year by Erwin Schrodinger.

Later that same year, Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen published a paper on what is now known as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, a thought experiment that attempted to show that 'the quantum-mechanical description of physical reality given by wave functions is not complete'.
