The experiment was depicted by drawing an interferometric scheme of Sagnac fibers in a magnifying inset, starting from a local position (Vienna, Austria) of the rotating Earth. Two indistinguishable photons impinge on a beam splitter cube, entanglement occurs between them and then they are coupled in the fiber interferometer. Credit: Marco Di Vita A quantum … Read more

Quantum entanglement was first used to measure the Earth’s rotation

by

A group of physicists were able to make a measurement of the Earth’s rotation using photons – the particles of light – and experienced a strange quantum phenomenon called entanglement. This allows them to increase the accuracy of the measurement a thousandfold, and it can be used to investigate questions in fundamental physics. You may … Read more

Physicists confirm that quantum entanglement persists between top quarks, the heaviest known fundamental particles

This article was reviewed according to Science fact checked trusted source proofread OK! Experimenting with entanglement: inside the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) experiment at the Large Hadron Collider. Rochester physicists working on the detector have observed that the spin entanglement between top quarks and top antiquarks persists at long distances and high speeds. Credit: Maximilien … Read more

New quantum engine powered by the entanglement of ions

by

The strange properties of quantum substances are being explored in the hope that they will lead to motors that are more powerful and efficient than their classical counterparts. There’s still a lot we don’t understand about how different aspects of quantum physics can help and hinder machines. A new exploration of one of the most … Read more
