I am quantum-entangled with my parents

Quantum entanglement is a process whereby two particles share the same quantum properties (spin, polarity, etc.). These properties are random until the moment one particle is measured. At that moment both particles undertake a mysterious process where the other particle "suddenly" shares the measured particles properties.

Is it possible for two human beings to be quantum entangled?

Yes. It is the natural state according to quantum theory. In fact everything is entangled. The problem is that if you don't know the details of the entanglement, it will seem as if there is no entanglement.

Why is everything entangled? Because everything interacts. Interactions result in entanglement. This is essentially nonlocal determinism… one state causes the next state and the next state and so on…

This sort of entanglement is just a complicated nonlocal mess. This is where decoherence theory is introduced to make sense of the mess. The essence of decoherence theory is to average out the entangled mess. This can be justified by taking a local perspective. Using this approach, the local environment can seem to be entirely classical.

The implications for this is that while two people in close proximity are certainly entangled, the entanglement is far too complex to comprehend, so that it is effectively non-existent.

Therefore there are actually two answers to this question. The above answer is actually meaningless if you can't do any experiment to reveal this entanglement. This suggests that no is the correct answer. Just be aware that there is the caveat that “no” is with respect to the ability to do a meaningful experiment that can reveal the entanglement.

I love this. First the quantum entanglement, i won't say comparison or metaphor, but discovery and realization. if there is an entanglement we are involved in, and "of course" every atom and electron has their own tales of entanglement, but if we as humans are entangled, it will be thus. you put words to my prayers and intuitions. my parents also visit me and later i turn away again..wind under the wings, let it soar!

here is a picture i did after my father passed of a dream i had with my brother and i sitting on a coarse high mountain beach, dad slowly diving away into the clear cold waters

Thank you Krishna!

Wonderful picture, Steven. Glad you too are entangled with your parents.

When the feelings we have for our loved ones take the shape of words and pictures, they look like this!

They come from the bottom of our hearts and touch every body else who come across these feelings.

We are human beings, made of atoms, subatomic particles and molecules. So we too get entangled!

Without metaphors, it is difficult to move forward in art and literature!

I used to think 

I can't imagine a life without my parents

I don't need to imagine it anymore, because

Now I know I don't have to fear it 

Because in reality there 's no parting at all

Not a moment goes by 

When I don't think of them

Love them and truly feel 

I was blessed to be their beloved daughter

Chosen to carry them in my heart and mind forever!
