Quantum Entanglement and Quantum Chromodynamics

Abstract

Non-locality or entanglement is an experimentally well established property of quantum mechanics. Here we study the role of quantum entanglement for higher symmetry group like $SU(3_c)$, the gauge group of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). We show that the hitherto unexplained property of confinement in QCD arises as a fundamental feature of quantum entanglement in $SU(3_c)$.
