Non-locality refers to a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles can be instantaneously connected and influence each other, regardless of the distance separating them. This concept challenges classical intuitions about the separability of distant objects and underpins the behavior of quantum bits and quantum gates, as qubits can be entangled in a way that their states are interdependent, even when separated by large distances.
congrats on reading the definition of non-locality. now let's actually learn it.
