Yes, they do. What about this?
The twin-photon experiment by Dr. Nicolas Gisin of the University of Geneva and his colleagues was the most spectacular demonstration yet of the mysterious long-range connections that exist between quantum events, connections created from nothing at all, which in theory can reach instantaneously from one end of the universe to the other.
In essence, Dr. Gisin sent pairs of photons in opposite directions to villages north and south of Geneva along optical fibers of the kind used to transmit telephone calls. Reaching the ends of these fibers, the two photons were forced to make random choices between alternative, equally possible pathways.
Since there was no way for the photons to communicate with each other, ''classical'' physics would predict that their independent choices would bear no relationship to each other. But when the paths of the two photons were properly adjusted and the results compared, the independent decisions by the paired photons always matched, even though there was no physical way for them to communicate with each other.
The idea behind Dr. Gisin's experiment was not new. Since the 1970's, physicists have been testing a prediction of quantum theory that ''entangled'' particles continue to communicate with each other instantaneously even when very far apart.
Yes, *classical* physics would predict there would be no correlation. Quantum physics predicts there will be, however. And in quantum physics, there is no communication.
Think of it like this. If you do not know whether the pen is red or blue, you cannot determine which path is taken. Nonetheless, every blue pen takes one of the paths and every red pen takes the other. The polarization that gives the 'random path' actually separates out red and blue for which path to go down.
There is more to it, of course, but the basics are that the way to photons were *made* produces the correlations. There is no communication between the photons at the opposite sides.
In fact, from Gisin and Zbinden's article,
https://arxiv.org/pdf/quant-ph/9806043.pdf
"Quantum theory is nonlocal. Indeed, quantum theory
predicts correlations among distant measurement out-
comes that cannot be explained by any theory which
involves only local variables. This was anticipated by
Einstein, Podolski and Rosen [1] and by Schr ̈odinger [2],
among others, and first demonstrated by John Bell in
1964 with his now famous inequality [3].
However, the
nonlocal feature cannot be exploited for superluminal
communication [4]. "
The most common mistake in interpreting quantum mechanics is trying to do so with classical ideas. In QM, particles do NOT have definite properties at all times, nor do they necessarily take only one path. Because of this, it is inevitable to get paradoxes when interpreting quantum results with classical ideas.
But, in the formulation of QM, there is no communication between the particles. There is no way to cause communication to happen. And the results at either end *look* random until they are brought together and the correlations are revealed.
By the way, you should give a reference when you quote an article. You quoted from
Far Apart, 2 Particles Respond Faster Than Light (Published 1997) (or something that quoted it) without reference. This is technically a violation of our rules.
