Abstract
We conjecture that the relative rate of time evolution depends on the amount of quantum correlations in a system. This is motivated by the experimental work [1] which showed that quantum tunneling is not instantaneous. The non-zero tunneling time may have other profound implications for the regulation of time in an entangled system. It opens the possibility that other types of quantum correlations may require non-zero rates of update. If this is true, it provides a mechanism for regulating the relative rate of time evolution.
