Strong force is carried by gluons (massless spin-1 particles) acting on quarks. Photon is massless spin-1 particle, carrier of electromagnetism. Therefore, we’re considering non-electromagnetic forces (weak + strong) interacting with electromagnetic force (photon) via entanglement . Two quantum systems can become entangled if they interact directly, or are created in a correlated process, or exchange information via a mediator. How could (weak + strong) forces interact with the photon? When the electroweak unification happens at high energies (~100 GeV), the photon and the Z boson are actually mixtures of more fundamental fields (W3 and B). Photon is part of the original electroweak structure. Photon couples to charged weak bosons (W⁺, W⁻) — they interact directly via quantum processes. Thus, photons and weak force carriers can become entangled easily through interaction. For example, e−+e+→W++W-involves photons and W bosons together.How could strong forces interact with the photon? Photons can interact with quarks (which are color-charged under the strong force). Gluons themselves don’t carry electric charge, so they don’t couple directly to photons. However, quarks (which carry both electric and color charges) can mediate interactions between photon and gluons indirectly. Thus, through quark loops, photons can ”feel” gluons. Photon-gluon interactions happen in high-energy processes like deep inelastic scattering. Thus, photon and strong sector can also become entangled, though more indirectly [1].Photon + (weak + strong force) by entanglementThe (weak and strong forces) with photon, can become entangled as a combined system. Because, the weak force particles and strong force particles can both interact (directly or via matter fields) with the photon. A complex multi-field entangled state can form. A high-energy collision produces W bosons, quarks, and photons. The quantum states of these products are entangled because of energy, momentum, spin correlations. Thus, a weak + strong ”sector” can be jointly entangled with a photon. In the early universe (at temperatures above the electroweak scale), Electromagnetism and weak force were one unified force. Photons and W/Z bosons were just different aspects of the same entangled field. Thus, entanglement between photon and weak/strong forces was inevitable [2].
