 Let's considers the following experiment:

+This is crazy isn't it? When they are detected, qubits are in different places in space, yet there is a link between the result read by detectors. However during their travel from source to detectors (at the speed of light) each of them are in a superposed states:all states at the time or |0> and |1> at the same time - you choose.\\
+\\
+This is one of the great mystery of quantum mechanics. John Stewart Bell proposed three possibilities:
+  * particles communicates during the travel,
+  * particles shares information when leaving the source,
+  * particles should not be considered as two separate objects but as one.
+In 80's, it has been demonstrated that the two particles does not share the information at their start. Therefore they must exchange the information when measured by detectors. But that would mean the information is transmitted faster than light. What is impossible according to Einstein's special relativity.\\
+\\
+This mystery has not been solved and we still don't know how particles share amplitudes of probabilities. We will come back on this mystery later because it is fascinating. It will also leads us to another big notion of quantum physics: **quantum teleportation**.
