A New Objective Definition of Quantum Entanglement as Potential Coding of Intensive and Effective Relations

TL;DR

This paper proposes a novel, objective definition of quantum entanglement based on potential coding of relations, removing the need for purity and separability, and clarifying its conceptual understanding.

Contribution

It introduces a new formal account of entanglement using the logos categorical approach, redefining it independently of purity and separability.

Findings

Provides an objective formal account of entanglement

Redefines entanglement as potential coding of relations

Eliminates the 'spookiness' associated with orthodox views

Abstract

In [20] it was argued against the orthodox definition of quantum entanglement in terms of pure and separable states. In this paper we attempt to discuss how the logos categorical approach to quantum mechanics [18, 19] is able to provide an objective formal account of the notion of entanglement --completely independent of both purity and separability-- in terms of the potential coding of intensive relations and effective relations. We will show how our novel redefinition allows us to provide an anschaulich content to the notion of entanglement, erasing in this way the "spookiness" still present within its orthodox understanding in terms of space-time separated collapse particles.
