Sentences with phrase «making pairs of photons»

Results from space show that SPEQS is making pairs of photons with correlated properties — an indicator of performance.

Not exact matches

To simulate these conditions, researchers use special facilities at the Advanced Photon Source, where they shine high - powered lasers to heat up the sample inside a pressure cell made of a pair of diamonds.

When both members of the pair became excited, one of them would normally fall to the lower rung before being struck by an incoming photon, producing no photon along the way and leaving too few excited electrons to make laser light.

One way it made itself known at CERN's Large Hadron Collider near Geneva, Switzerland, two years ago was by decaying into pairs of photons.

In this model, neutrons and protons are made up of triplets of quarks, and the gluons that bind protons and neutrons together (equivalent to photons in electromagnetic field theory) are made of pairs of quarks.

One way it made itself known two years ago at CERN's Large Hadron Collider (LHC) near Geneva, Switzerland, was by decaying into pairs of photons.

Once created, each entangled pair of photons is separated by passing a laser beam made up of them through a filter made from a non-linear crystal.

Not only do the experiments prove that the phenomenon of entanglement is strong enough to persist even in experiments that may one day be carried out on a satellite or an accelerated spacecraft, they also suggests quantum mechanical entanglement of photon pairs can be tested while the particles undergo relativistic acceleration — conditions under which attempts to unify quantum mechanics and relativity into an overarching «theory of everything» can be made.
