It would kinda seem like a spin change would require an *input* of energy, but I’m thinking in the case of quantum entanglement that there is nowhere local for an energy input to come from… so even though it doesn’t really make sense to me as to where the emitted energy would come from, I just can’t help but think some energy is therefore released when an electron changes its spin.

So… does it? And in what form is the energy? If it’s electromagnetic, can it be determined? And would it always be the same emission? I’m not necessarily talking about an electron jumping between orbitals in an atom, just a loner electron that just flipped its spin.
