Sentences with phrase «as pairs of photons»

The Higgs is not detected directly, but via the things it decays into, such as pairs of photons or particles called Z bosons.

To do that, they studied the decay of the Higgs into familiar particles, such as a pair of photons or a pair of massive particles called Z bosons.

Imagine setting up a pair of entangled quantum «coins» (such as photons with a specific orientation), then giving one to Alice in Oxford and another to Bob in Zurich.

Depending on its nature, dark matter annihilation could sometimes yield detectable particles and antiparticles, such as electrons and positrons, or pairs of photons.

With the green light from Townes, Clauser began to scavenge spare parts from storage closets around the Berkeley lab — «I've gotten pretty good at dumpster diving,» as he put it recently — and soon he had duct - taped together a contraption capable of measuring the correlated polarizations of pairs of photons.

As soon as you measure one of the entangled photons in a detector and find that its polarization — that is, the orientation of its waves — is horizontal, the other one in the pair is instantly projected into a horizontal statAs soon as you measure one of the entangled photons in a detector and find that its polarization — that is, the orientation of its waves — is horizontal, the other one in the pair is instantly projected into a horizontal statas you measure one of the entangled photons in a detector and find that its polarization — that is, the orientation of its waves — is horizontal, the other one in the pair is instantly projected into a horizontal state.

Although Einstein rebelled against the notion of quantum entanglement, scientists have repeatedly proved that measuring one of an entangled pair of objects, such as a photon, immediately affects its counterpart no matter how great their separation — theoretically.

According to quantum mechanics, photons can briefly transform into transient pairs of electrically charged particles and antiparticles — such as an electron and a positron — before reverting back to photons.
