Quantum Entanglement
Quantum entanglement links information between particles across space and time. So what happens when one of them falls into a black hole?
A century ago, quantum physics overthrew our view of a deterministic Universe. A profound 21st century theorem closes the door even further.
The very word "quantum" makes people's imaginations run wild. But chances are you've fallen for at least one of these myths.
Parallel universes are among the most profound notions in all of quantum physics. It's a compelling and fascinating idea, but is it true?
Whether you run the clock forward or backward, most of us expect the laws of physics to be the same. A 2012 experiment showed otherwise.
A meditation on quantum physics, creative endurance, and the unseen forces that shape what lasts.
There was a lot of hype and a lot of nonsense, but also some profoundly major advances. Here are the biggest ones you may have missed.
By improving quantum error correction, quantum computations are now faster than ever. But parallel universes? That's utter nonsense here.
Black holes encode information on their surfaces, but evaporate away into Hawking radiation. Is that information preserved, and if so, how?
LHC scientists just showed that spooky quantum entanglement applies to the highest-energy, shortest-lived particles of all: top quarks.
A new technique that can automatically classify phases of physical systems could help scientists investigate novel materials.
Can quantum computers do things that standard, classical computers can't? No. But if they can calculate faster, that's quantum supremacy.
Two very different ideas, wormholes and quantum entanglement, might be fundamentally related. What would "ER = EPR" mean for our Universe?
Even with quantum teleportation and the existence of entangled quantum states, faster-than-light communication still remains impossible.
Experiments tell us quantum entanglement defies space and time.
To Einstein, nature had to be rational. But quantum physics showed us that there was not always a way to make it so.
Einstein tried to disprove quantum mechanics. Instead, a weird concept called entanglement showed that Einstein was wrong.
It isn't just identical particles that can be entangled, but even those with fundamentally different properties interfere with each other.
2022 was another busy year in the realm of science, with groundbreaking stories spanning space, materials, medicine, and technology.
The science fiction dream of a traversable wormhole is no closer to reality, despite a quantum computer's suggestive simulation.
Perhaps wormholes will no longer be relegated to the realm of science fiction.
Like Dua Lipa, he had to create new rules.
Maybe the brain isn't "classical" after all.
Maybe our understanding of quantum entanglement is incomplete, or maybe there is something fundamentally unique about consciousness.
Quantum entanglement may remain spooky, but it has a very practical side.
We are not yet at the point where quantum communications can be deployed to secure the internet, but we might not be far off.
Holograms preserve all of an object's 3D information, but on a 2D surface. Could the holographic Universe idea lead us to higher dimensions?
Einstein always loses in the quantum realm.
Uncertainty is inherent to our Universe.
They say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. But thanks to these three pioneers in quantum entanglement, perhaps we do.
