"Entangled photons" refers to a special connection between two photons (particles of light) that causes them to be intertwined, or "entangled," with each other. This connection means that the behavior of one photon can instantly affect the behavior of the other, no matter how far apart they are. It's like they share a secret link that allows them to communicate and influence each other, even if they are separated by great distances. This phenomenon is an important concept in quantum physics and has potential applications in various fields, such as quantum computing and secure communication.
