Pingie: HTTP:: Cesium Atoms Tie Quantum Entanglement to Chaos Theory

HTTP:: Cesium Atoms Tie Quantum Entanglement to Chaos Theory
--------
According to a new series of scientific experiments, it may be that quantum entanglement, one of the hottest topics in physics today, is connected to the chaos theory. Physicists came to this conclusion after a series of research studies, in which they analyzed the properties and behavior of cesium atoms, under various conditions. The scientists add that the new investigations could finally provide them with a clear delimitation of the levels where the quantum world ends, and the “classical” one begins. The chaos theory is, in essence, the depiction of the influence that a seemingly small event can have on an entire system, in the long run. One of its most popular forms is the butterfly effect â€" which can roughly be translated as a butterfly flapping its wings on one side of the planet, and the air vibrations turning into a hurricane on the other side. Up until now, it was widely considered that the chaos theory and the butterfly effect were pertaining to the macro!
scale world, and that they did not apply on a quantum level. The team behind the new experiments, led by University of Arizona in Tucson (UAT) physicist Poul Jessen, has revealed for the first time the “fingerprints” of chaos on the small scale, which essentially link chaos to quantum entanglement. The la...
