Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon in which the quantum state of each particle in a group cannot be described independently of the state of the others, even when the particles are separated by a large distance.

WikipediaLead section (entity-description)
Quantum entanglement is the phenomenon of a group of particles being generated, interacting, or sharing spatial proximity in such a way that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the others.
Lead section (proposed-year)
The phenomenon was described in a 1935 paper by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, and the term entanglement was coined that same year by Erwin Schrodinger.

Proposed By: Albert Einstein, History section (edge: proposed-by, Einstein/EPR)
Later that same year, Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen published a paper on what is now known as the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) paradox, a thought experiment that attempted to show that 'the quantum-mechanical description of physical reality given by wave functions is not complete'.
