Synchronizing physical and virtual environments using quantum entanglement

A computer program product, the computer program product comprising one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions executable by one or more processors to cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• accessing captured video of a first physical object in a physical environment;
• detecting a feature of the first physical object in a first frame of the video;
• encoding a first qubit with a first quantum state based on a first value of the feature of the first physical object;
• entangling the first qubit with a second qubit forming an entangled qubit pair;
• detecting a second quantum state of the second qubit of the entangled qubit pair;
• and
• rendering computer-generated content of a virtual environment that includes a computer-generated first virtual object that corresponds to the first physical object,
• wherein the rendering comprises determining a property of the first virtual object based on the detected second quantum state.
