  Non-locality or entanglement is an experimentally well established property
of quantum mechanics. Here we study the role of quantum entanglement for higher
symmetry group like $ SU(3_c) $, the gauge group of quantum chromodynamics
(QCD). We show that the hitherto unexplained property of confinement in QCD
arises as a fundamental feature of quantum entanglement in $ SU(3_c) $.
