Quantum entanglement obeys the Mpemba paradox: the stronger the bond, the faster it vanishes.

Hot water sometimes freezes faster than cold—that's the famous Mpemba effect. What if the same thing happens with quantum entanglement? Scientists have found: the more strongly particles are entangled, the sooner their bond can suddenly snap due to the environment. This discovery not only surprises but also hints at how to extend the life of quantum devices—simply by controlling excitation.

🎯 Erasto Mpemba, a Tanzanian schoolboy, noticed in 1963 that a hot ice cream mix froze faster than a cold one. His question led to a publication in a scientific journal.
