Not exact matches

Distance records set for entanglement may pave the way to a quantum version of the Internet in which information hops from place to place via pairs of entangled particles.

In the spacecraft's first record - breaking accomplishment, reported June 16 in Science, the satellite used onboard lasers to beam down pairs of entangled particles, which have eerily linked properties, to two cities in China, where the particles were captured by telescopes (SN: 8/5/17, p. 14).

According to Susskind and Maldacena, every pair of entangled particles is connected by a wormhole, drastically shortening the distance between them.

That is because a black hole keeps producing pairs of entangled particles, which make up so - called Hawking radiation.

To confirm that the particles were entangled, and that the weird qualities of quantum mechanics held, the researchers used the photon pairs to perform a Bell test (SN: 9/19/15, p. 12), which analyzes correlations between the two particles.

As Kaiser explains it, an experiment would go something like this: A laboratory setup would consist of a particle generator, such as a radioactive atom that spits out pairs of entangled particles.
