Reading the Wikipedia entry on quantum entanglement just made my head spin. I was trying to find out something, but it wasn't getting me anywhere.
What I wanted to know is if the BEC could induce quantum entanglement into its constituent elements. So, if the wave itself is in a state of quantum entanglement, are all of atoms making up the wave in the same state?
I was wondering about that because quantum entanglement seems to have the property of changing the relations of space and time. I'm referring to what Einstein called "spooky actions from a distance".
Now with that in mind, what if we were to look at this wave that has become a BEC and posit that it becomes trapped 2 dimensionally, as was done in the photon BEC experiment. If enough atoms are trapped inside a 2 dimensional structure and if enough are entangled, could it be that they could overwhelm the coulomb barrier and begin fusion? The fermionic properties of the individual atoms normally would not allow so many to be there in one space, but if they were acting as bosons, and/or were entangled, would that property change and allow them into close enough proximity?
