Entanglement Observed in Multiple Particles for the First Time

For the first time in history a team of researchers successfully created a system of three entangled diamond nuclei, which they believe to lead to solid state systems that make use of both ions and photons in an entangled state of multiple particles. Entanglement is basically a quantum effect through which the proper...

Entangled State in Nitrogen Used to Localize Electrons

Atoms are formed of a positively charged nucleus - containing protons and neutrons - and an outer shell of electrons spinning around the nucleus. Now, we know that the nucleus is found in the center of the atom, but individual electrons spinning at high speeds around the nucleus are rather hard to localize, which is ...

New Entanglement Technique Creates Photon Pairs on Demand

Photon entanglement is believed to be the future of quantum computing, however creating entangled photon pairs is extremely difficult because entangled photons generation is subjected to random quantum processes. This basically means that with a device you can create a single entangled pair while in a later identical...

Twisted Photons May Improve Optical Imaging

In an already random quantum world, parasite signals could spell disaster for quantum information systems. Take the example of the quantum computers. Even the slightest noise signal could bring it to a complete halt. However, parasite signals may not be as bad as previously thought, according to Seth Lloyd from the M...

Entanglement Encodes More Information in Single-Photons

You can't transfer much information with a photon, we've learned that from our experience with today's existing optic communication devices. If a single photon of light is manipulated in a classical way, then photons are not too different from electrons in the matter of information transfer, except may...

NIST Clarifies 'Spooky Action at a Distance'

Entangled photons are basically particles of light with interlinked properties, meaning that the properties of one photon depend on those of a second photon. The study of the interactions that take place between entangled properties may eventually reveal the fundamental concepts of quantum physics. The National Insti...

Physicists Achieve Breakthrough by Creating... Nothing?

Some of you might think that creating a void is something easily achievable with today's technology, but the truth is far from reality. Not even the vacuum of space is completely empty. For example, vacuum is routinely used by physicists while undertaking studies related to quantum physics. But these vacuums are...

Could a Backward Causality Experiment Produce Time Travel?

A backward causality experiment is not really intended to explain time travel and its (im)probability, although this might be just a wonderful side-effect. Nonlocal quantum communication could instantly send information millions of light-years away and possibly even back in time.Quantum entanglement is once again ex...

Could Real Teleportation Ever Be Achieved?

Teleportation, the well-known sci-fi concept, seems closer and closer with every new discovery in quantum physics and many news articles present the recent finds as "the next step to teleportation" or "beam me up, Scotty," and the general Star Trek clichés.Really, will we ever be able to go from one place to another...

Measuring Oscillations Associated with Photon Entanglement

Super-resolution is a technique used to enhance the resolution of an imaging system that describes rapid oscillations in an interference pattern. Scientists have been trying to create entangled states of various physical systems, but so far, it has proven hard to do.Quantum entanglement is a mechanical phenomenon tha...

Teleportation Breakthrough Brings "Star Trek" Closer to Earth

Teleportation, the movement of objects or elementary particles from one place to another, more or less instantaneously, without traveling through space, is a very popular fictional concept, appearing in numerous sci-fi productions, "Star Trek" being probably the most famous.Now, a team of scientists set a new record...
