← ScienceWhich consequence results when measuring one qubit's state in an entangled pair used for quantum key distribution?
A)Entanglement is probabilistically instantaneously disrupted
B)Measurement collapses both qubits' wavefunctions✓
C)Information transfer exceeds lightspeed limits
D)Decoherence occurs in only classical qubits
💡 Explanation
Measuring one qubit's state in an entangled pair causes wavefunction collapse because quantum entanglement creates correlated states; therefore, the other entangled qubit instantaneously assumes a definite state, rather than superposed possibilities or probabilistic disruption.
