Behind The Scenes: The Making of Entangled We Remain

I’ve been fascinated by quantum mechanics ever since I was a kid and someone told me that particles could be in two places at once. That sounded more like poetry than science, and maybe that’s what hooked me. It’s not just that the rules of the quantum world are strange—it’s that they’re real, and they govern everything around us.

This week I came across a new article that made me stop and think: “Second Law of Quantum Entanglement Discovered” – Interesting Engineering. Up until now, scientists have recognized that when two quantum particles are “entangled,” they share information instantly across distance. Einstein famously called this “spooky action at a distance.” But this new research shows there’s actually a kind of thermodynamic directionality to entanglement.

In simpler terms, once entanglement spreads out across a system, you can’t just pull it back together the way it was. It’s not reversible. This is being called the second law of entanglement, and it mirrors the second law of thermodynamics—where entropy (or disorder) always increases over time. That means quantum information behaves more like heat: it dissipates, spreads, and can’t be perfectly recovered.

If true, this has huge implications not only for quantum computing but for our understanding of time, causality, and memory itself. It also means that even the deepest quantum bonds—the ones that link particles across the universe—are bound by an arrow of time. They may not break, but they stretch, fade, or evolve in a way that’s fundamentally one-directional.

From Theory to Song: “Entangled We Remain”

Reading about this second law didn’t just make me think—it made me feel something. It reminded me that connection, whether quantum or human, always changes with time. Some bonds hold, some fray, but none of them return to what they were. That became the seed of my new song, Entangled We Remain.

It’s part of my ongoing series of folk-inspired songs exploring quantum theory—alongside earlier pieces like Quantum Waltz and String Theories. This track is more reflective than technical. It’s not trying to explain the physics so much as echo the emotional resonance of the science: the mystery of staying connected across distance, and the inevitability of change.
