Sentences with word «nonlocality»

Physicists have gone to heroic lengths to translate quantum nonlocality into everyday terms.

In the laboratory, much as on theorists» scratch pads, the microworld really did seem to be an entangled nest of nonlocality.

So this experimental work seems to suggest we really do have this deep nonlocality to the universe, which means that the universe is a much weirder place than Einstein would have liked, and it's something with a lot of different sorts of profound implications for understanding the universe at a quantum level.

In quantum physics, this mysterious action at - a-distance is known as nonlocality, but it is only one of the phenomena that give scientists bad headaches.

Meanwhile, a growing arsenal of healing machines based loosely on tenuous nonlocality theories from the fringes of quantum physics have become an increasingly popular alternative to the discomfort of scientifically verifiable chemotherapy.

Musser deftly traces the history of our quest to understand nonlocality, covering an ambitious breadth of challenging topics from string theory to the multiverse to the unification of physics.

Now the idea that Einstein held out for was that, well the fact that it seemed as though you could have this sort of weird nonlocality, as though things that were extremely far apart, that they might somehow still be in contact with one another that seemed like a kind of spooky action at a distance, and he didn't like that.

Genuinely high - dimensional nonlocality optimized by complementary measurements J. Lim, J. Ryu, S. Yoo, C. Lee, J. Bang, J. Lee New J. Phys.

Sheldrake responds that the phenomena may spring from the so - called quantum nonlocality that so fretted Einstein, who termed it «spooky action at a distance.»

In effect, quantum naysayers like Einstein would have to swallow the spider of nonrealism to catch the fly of nonlocality.

Before launching into an experiment himself, Clauser wrote to John Bell and David Bohm to double - check that he had not overlooked any prior experiments on Bell's theorem and quantum nonlocality.

Nonlocality was indeed endemic to quantum mechanics, Bell had shown: somehow, the outcome of the measurement on particle B depended on the measured outcome on particle A, even if the two particles were separated by huge distances at the time those measurements were made.

This «nonlocality» is a mathematical consequence of quantum theory and has been measured in the lab.

Even so, it still doesn't sufficiently explain another weirdness of quantum theory: nonlocality.

A third (and most likely) possibility is that information escapes through a breakdown of locality — the notion that events at spatially separated points can influence one another only after light has had time to travel between them — that is more profound than ordinary quantum nonlocality.

Cats and nonlocality are the starting point of the book — a bit of revision to ensure the book is self contained and that the reader appreciates what the problems are.

The proof that nonlocality is real may turn out to be one of the great discoveries of this century.

The second problem is nonlocality.

When an alien examines the kitten in one capsule and finds it to be alive, say, the kitten on the far side of the Universe instantly becomes dead — that's all according to the Copenhagen interpretation and nonlocality.

Though this kind of action at a distance appears to contradict Einstein's theory of relativity, nonlocality is now a fact of life following an experiment by Alain Aspect and his co-workers during the early 1980s.

Which we call «nonlocality.»

In other words, Aspelmeyer says, nonlocality is not enough to save realism from quantum theory.
