    Entanglement is more than just a classical correlation though - it’s specifically the kind where the quantum states can’t be described independently, which is why Bell’s inequalites get violated and why Einstein called it “spooky action at a distanc”.

      It’s stronger than a classical one, yes. But Einstein’s description is mocking the idea of entanglement as an active link that allows distant states to be changed by local actions.
