No, quantum entanglement does not bypass the uncertainty principle. The uncertainty principle, formulated by Werner Heisenberg, is a fundamental principle in quantum mechanics that states that certain pairs of physical properties, such as position and momentum, cannot both be precisely determined simultaneously with unlimited accuracy.

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two or more particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle cannot be described independently of the state of the other(s). When particles are entangled, measuring the state of one particle instantaneously affects the state of the other particle, regardless of the distance between them.

While quantum entanglement allows for strong correlations between particles, it does not violate the uncertainty principle. The uncertainty principle still applies to each individual particle involved in the entanglement. In other words, the uncertainty in measuring properties like position and momentum of each particle in an entangled pair remains subject to the limitations imposed by the uncertainty principle.

Quantum entanglement is a fascinating and counterintuitive aspect of quantum mechanics, but it does not provide a means to circumvent the fundamental principles of uncertainty and indeterminacy in quantum physics.
