hidden variable theories and quantum entanglement

Hidden variable theories are proposed explanations for the behavior of quantum systems that suggest the existence of unknown, unobservable variables underlying quantum phenomena. These variables are thought to determine the outcome of measurements in a way that appears random on the macroscopic level. Quantum entanglement, on the other hand, refers to a phenomenon where two or more particles become intricately linked, sharing a correlated quantum state despite physical separation. This entanglement can result in the instantaneous transmission of information or influence between the particles, regardless of the distance separating them.
