30. Note that entanglement-in the strict sense-is a strong quantum mechanical correlation of two or more different particles. The effect, when the different degrees of freedom of a single particle become entangled (see e.g.: Y. Hasegawa, R. Loidl, G. Badurek, M. Baron, H. Rauch, Nature (London) 425 (2003) 45), can be called intertwining.
