According to quantum theory, entangled particles behave as if they have an instantaneous link to their partners that spans the entire Universe. Once regarded as a delicate and esoteric effect, quantum entanglement is proving surprisingly robust and is likely to be one of the key concepts of 21st century technology. Theorists have also proved that, in principle at least, entanglement would allow people to win at guessing games without communicating in any conventional way in a phenomenon dubbed “quantum pseudo-telepathy.” Theorists now think entanglement may be relatively common in nature. Studies of biochemicals have revealed correlations in their properties that seem to be consistent with the existence of entanglement. This has led some scientists to suspect that entanglement may have an important role to play in the functioning of the human mind.
