Sentences with phrase «quantum 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.

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

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.

Not exact matches

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.

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.

«Nonlocality is so fundamental and so important for our worldview of quantum mechanics that it's important to achieve such a result,» says Nicolas Gisin, a quantum physicist at the University of Geneva.

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