No, quantum entanglement does not allow for immediate communication or influence between distant objects or events. While quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where the states of two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle is instantly correlated with the state of another, this correlation does not enable information transfer or causal influence faster than the speed of light.
According to the theory of relativity, information and causal influence cannot travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, which is a fundamental limit. This principle is known as the "no-signaling theorem." Therefore, any influence or measurement performed on a particle at a distant location cannot be used to send information faster than the speed of light.
The correlations observed in entangled particles are non-local in the sense that they cannot be explained by classical physics or local hidden variables. However, this non-locality does not allow for superluminal communication or immediate cause-and-effect relationships between distant events. Any change or measurement performed on one entangled particle will affect its correlated partner, but the information about the change cannot be used to transmit signals faster than light.
While entanglement may seem mysterious, and it challenges our classical intuitions, it is consistent with the principles of causality and relativity. Researchers are exploring ways to exploit quantum entanglement for applications such as quantum communication, quantum cryptography, and distributed quantum computing, but these applications still respect the fundamental limits imposed by the speed of light.
