An exploration of quantum entanglement and the ways in which it contradicts our everyday assumptions about the ultimate nature of reality.
Quantum physics is notable for its brazen defiance of common sense. (Think of Schrödinger’s Cat, famously both dead and alive.) An especially rigorous form of quantum contradiction occurs in experiments with entangled particles. Our common assumption is that objects have properties whether or not anyone is observing them, and the measurement of one can’t affect the other. Quantum entanglement–called by Einstein “spooky action at a distance”–rejects this assumption, offering impeccable reasoning and irrefutable evidence of the opposite. Is quantum entanglement mystical, or just mystifying? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Jed Brody equips readers to decide for themselves. He explains how our commonsense assumptions impose constraints–from which entangled particles break free.
Brody explores such concepts as local realism, Bell’s inequality, polarization, time dilation, and special relativity. He introduces readers to imaginary physicists Alice and Bob and their photon analyses; points out that it’s easier to reject falsehood than establish the truth; and reports that some physicists explain entanglement by arguing that we live in a cross-section of a higher-dimensional reality. He examines a variety of viewpoints held by physicists, including quantum decoherence, Niels Bohr’s Copenhagen interpretation, genuine fortuitousness, and QBism. This relatively recent interpretation, an abbreviation of “quantum Bayesianism,” holds that there’s no such thing as an absolutely accurate, objective probability “out there,” that quantum mechanical probabilities are subjective judgments, and there’s no “action at a distance,” spooky or otherwise.

Too bad it can’t be used for communication. So close to instant communication anywhere in the universe. Sad really. Maybe we will solve this.

Thnx

Can’t wait. Thanks Mojo!

Awesome book thank you! @Cluckers its close to being solved now. University of Chicago researchers have sent entangled qubit states through a communication cable linking one quantum network node to a second node. if you google it there is a lot of info from the University. its very interesting.

Ahhh ok book was written in 2020 University of Chicago researchers sent entangled qubit states through a communication cable linking one quantum network node to a second node. In 2021.

I’m probably understanding this better in a parallel universe.

Lgbtqubits prefer to be referred to as ‘they’ or ‘them’. “Close to being solved” lmao. First of all entanglement is little more than a metaphor since no one on the planet can say anything intelligent about it except to theorize that “the box containing a red particle entangled with a blue particle if opened and is still red, the box a billion light years away if opened will always reveal a blue particle and vice versa”. (For fun ask someone at MIT or Cal Tech to prove how they know this to be true). I think what it really means is that a bunch of researchers are running out of money and need another grant. For crissake people wake up and stop believing every goddamn thing you read without using at least a single gravitational wave of critical thinking.
