I think there might be a slight confusion in your question. Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and entanglement are two distinct concepts in quantum mechanics.

Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, formulated by Werner Heisenberg, states that there is a fundamental limit to the precision with which certain pairs of physical properties of a particle can be known simultaneously. Specifically, it states that the more precisely one property is measured, such as the position of a particle, the less precisely the corresponding conjugate property, such as its momentum, can be known, and vice versa. This principle is not directly related to entanglement but rather deals with the inherent limitations of measurement in quantum mechanics.

On the other hand, entanglement is a phenomenon that occurs when two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the quantum state of the system as a whole cannot be described independently of the states of its constituent particles. In other words, the properties of entangled particles are intertwined, regardless of the spatial separation between them. When two particles are entangled, measuring the state of one particle instantaneously determines the state of the other particle, no matter the distance between them. This characteristic has been experimentally observed and is a fundamental aspect of quantum mechanics.

While Heisenberg's uncertainty principle and entanglement are both important concepts in quantum mechanics, they are distinct and independent of each other.
