Abstract: This paper explores the hypothesis that quantum entanglement can be reinterpreted as quantum synchronization, where entangled particles maintain coordinated states due to shared initial conditions and environmental influences. This perspective offers a deterministic view, avoiding non-locality issues. Introduction Quantum entanglement has long been a cornerstone of quantum mechanics, characterized by correlations between particle pairs regardless of distance. Despite its acceptance, the phenomenon remains mysterious, with interpretations ranging from non-local realism to information-theoretic views. This paper proposes an alternative interpretation: that entangled particles are not linked through non-local interactions but exhibit synchronized behavior due to shared origins. Current Understanding of Quantum Entanglement Quantum entanglement involves pairs or groups of particles generated such that their physical properties, like polarization, are perfectly correlated. The measurement of one particle instantaneously influences the other’s state, regardless of distance—Einstein’s “spooky action at a distance.” Bell’s theorem demonstrates that quantum mechanics defies local hidden variable theories, while decoherence explains how measurements collapse entangled states. Proposal: Quantum Synchronization Quantum synchronization posits that particles share initial conditions or coupling mechanisms during creation, leading to coordinated properties when measured similarly. This interpretation avoids non-locality by attributing correlations to shared origins rather than instantaneous communication. Definition: Particles are synchronized if their states mirror each other due to common causes like preparation methods. Classical Analogy: Draws parallels with coupled oscillators or synchronized clocks, where coordination arises from initial conditions and interactions. Implications of Quantum Synchronization This reinterpretation offers a more deterministic view: Determinism: Removes the mystery of non-locality, suggesting outcomes are determined by shared origins. Teaching Simplification: Aligns with familiar classical concepts, potentially easing understanding in education. Integration with Classical Physics: Facilitates connections between quantum and classical synchronization principles. Experimental Considerations To test this hypothesis: Simultaneous Measurements: Conduct experiments where measurements are taken at the same time using identical detection methods […]
