Entanglement may refer to:
- Quantum entanglementQuantum entanglementQuantum entanglement occurs when electrons, molecules even as large as "buckyballs", photons, etc., interact physically and then become separated; the type of interaction is such that each resulting member of a pair is properly described by the same quantum mechanical description , which is...
- Orientation entanglementOrientation entanglementIn mathematics and physics, the notion of orientation entanglement is sometimes used to develop intuition relating to the geometry of spinors or alternatively as a concrete realization of the failure of the special orthogonal groups to be simply connected....
- Entanglement (graph measure)Entanglement (graph measure)In graph theory, entanglement of a directed graph is a number measuring how stronglythe cycles of the graph are intertwined. It is defined in terms of a mathematical game in which...
- Entanglement of polymer chains, see ReptationReptationReptation is the snake-like thermal motion of very long linear, entangled macromolecules in polymer melts or concentrated polymer solutions.Entanglement means the topological restriction of molecular motion by other chains....
