HTTP:: Quantum Entanglement Proved at the Macroscale
--------
Scientists at the University of California in Santa Barbara (UCSB) have recently managed to demonstrate that the quantum entanglement effect â€" one of the basic ones in quantum physics â€" can be observed at a large scale as well, and that it is not necessarily confined to the elementary-particle level. The team that detailed its finds in the September 24 issue of the journal Nature also shows that billions of electrons flowing in superconductor materials can collectively exhibit this property. “It’s an exciting piece of work. People are interested in pushing the boundaries of quantum mechanics,” Yale University physicist Steven Girvin says of the work. Quantum entanglement is one of the more peculiar consequences of quantum mechanics, and is characterized by the fact that interacting particles become somehow linked to each other at some point, as in entangled. This means that whatever happens to one of them affects the others directly, even if they are not in cont!
act with each other. Ions, photons and atoms have thus far been the only classes of particles in which quantum entanglement was scientifically observed. The UCSB team, led by expert John Martinis, devised a simple experiment to prove the quantum principle. They placed two superconductor materials on a small chip. Ea...
