uh where the this and the that are the product states, but we're not taking we don't have a product state anymore because we're taking this sum of them.
We're adding them up because these are vectors and we're doing vector addition on them.
And what happens in the entangled state is if you ask, but what state is just Alice's all alone in?
It it really isn't in a state anymore.
I mean, you you just can't characterize Alice's particle without somehow referring to Bob's.
And you can't really characterize Bob's particle without referring to Alice's.
They they really have become that's why the word entanglement, right?
Their their physical situation has become interwoven between the two of them in a way that mathematically you can't separate them.
And and just have a product of this times that.
So
If I were to say, even if you didn't know any quantum mechanics
Okay, I have a pair of particles.
I'm gonna send one to Alice and one to Bob.
Here's the spin state.
Um, what predictions would you make about what this will do?
Now, if you just look at it.
Without knowing any quantum mechanics or just a tiny bit or a few hints, you might say, well, suppose Alice and Bob both decide to orient their magnets in the X direction.
They don't have to, but suppose they decide to.
Sure.
And then you'd say, well, the first part of that expression, that is a state where Alice's will go up and Bob's will go down.
