Abstract

Since its origin, the idea of quantum entanglement, a phenomena that contradicts conventional wisdom and forms the basis of quantum physics, has captured the attention of physicists and researchers. With a focus on the cutting-edge research that is shedding new light on this phenomena, this review article looks into the fascinating world of quantum entanglement. It traces the phenomenon’s historical evolution, considers its ramifications, discusses its historical growth. Quantum entanglement has raised new questions about reality and created hitherto unexplored paths for scientific inquiry, from its early philosophical discussions to its practical uses in cutting-edge technologies. In this thorough analysis, we travel through the development of quantum entanglement throughout history, from its earliest philosophical foundations through the revolutionary work of Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen, the following articulation of Bell’s inequalities by John Bell. We look at the seminal Aspect experiments that proved conclusively that these inequalities were violated, confirming the validity of the non-local correlations that underlie entanglement. Additionally, we explore the intriguing interaction between entanglement and spacetime, taking into account what it might mean for the structure of the cosmos as well as any possible clues it might offer about the nature of quantum gravity.
This review also emphasises the relevance of entanglement today in the context of quantum technology and information. We explore quantum cryptography, where entanglement provides a foundation for secure communication, quantum computing, where the computational potential of entanglement promises ground-breaking innovations. The continued endeavour to harness entanglement for useful purposes is exemplified by recent experimental achievements like multipartite
entanglement and quantum network discovery.
We consider the ongoing arguments over the fundamental interpretations of quantum physics brought on by entanglement as we come to a conclusion.
