   Entanglement is a term often used in the field of quantum physics to refer to a phenomenon where two particles become interconnected in such a way that the state of one particle instantaneously impacts the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are. In a more broader sense, entanglement can also refer to a state of being twisted together or deeply involved in a complex way.
