Quantum entanglement is one of the essences of quantum mechanics and quantum information theory. It is a physical phenomenon in which entangled particles remain correlated with each other regardless of the distance between them. Quantum entanglement plays a significant role in areas such as quantum computing, quantum cryptography, and quantum teleportation.
