Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle is instantaneously connected to the state of another, regardless of the spatial separation between them. The entanglement itself is not influenced by the distance between the particles and can persist across large distances.
However, it's important to note that entanglement does not allow for instantaneous communication or transfer of information. While the entangled particles may remain correlated, any attempt to extract information from one particle will still require conventional communication methods, limited by the speed of light.
Regarding your question about moving one entangled particle to orbit, there have been experiments that have examined the behavior of entangled particles in different locations, including in orbit. For example, in 2020, the Chinese satellite Micius was used to perform experiments testing entanglement over long distances. These experiments involved entangled photons being transmitted between the satellite and ground-based stations. The results supported the concept of entanglement across large separations.
However, it's worth mentioning that moving the particles to different locations or changing their states does not affect the entanglement itself. The entanglement is established at the moment of entanglement creation and is independent of subsequent movements or changes to the particles' states.
In summary, quantum entanglement is not constrained by spatial separation, and experiments have demonstrated entanglement over significant distances, including through satellite-based experiments. However, the entanglement does not allow for instantaneous communication, and information transfer still obeys the speed of light limitation.
