    When you think about Einstein and physics, E=mc^2 is probably the first thing that comes to mind. But one of his greatest contributions to the field actually came in the form of an odd philosophical footnote in a 1935 paper he co-wrote -- which ended up being wrong. Chad Orzel details Einstein's "EPR" paper and its insights on the strange phenomena of entangled states.

    When I took undergraduate physics at university there were a handful of results that still stay with me now that I'm not at all involved in hard sciences. Two of the most mind boggling quantum phenomena involved simple experiments with light. So imagine you have a long rectangular prism about a metre long but otherwise fairly narrow. Shaped like a box for storing a dozen roses. It's black all over and completely blocks out all light. At one end you have a variable laser that you can adjust so that its intensity is so low it's guaranteed to be spitting out photons so slowly there's only ever 1 photon in the whole tube at any given time. Near the other end is a piece of card with two vertical slits and at the very end there's a light detector. If you did quantum in school you'll know light interferes with itself so you get these waves on the light detector if the light has to go through two slits. However, this experiment shows that the light will still interfere with itself as long as there are two slits even though there's only ever one photon in the tube! So the photon somehow 'knows' there's another slit on the card that it's not going though! I never got an explanation that I could follow as to why this works. Of course if you replace the two slits with one slit the pattern changes to the standard Gaussian distribution with no interference.The other really cool result you can try for yourself if you have three polarizing sunglasses. So polarizing sunglasses work by filtering out light if it's not aligned the right way. If you hold up the lens a particular way it might let through 100% of the up-down oscillating rays, 50% of the 45 deg incline rays and 0% of the side to side oscillating rays. Now if you get two pairs of sunglasses you can put the lenses next to each other and turn them until you find all of the light is being blocked (one lens blocks all the up down and the other blocks all the side to side). However, as the orientation of the light is probabilistic, once the light passes through a lens it updates its probability of what orientation it is travelling in. So if you get a third lens and stick it between your first two lenses, by carefully turning the middle lens you can actually get some light making it through all three lenses when two of them would have blocked ALL the light.

    • @isaiahzepf5842
      @isaiahzepf5842 7 лет назад +1

      The interference pattern with light has to do with the fact that photons, electrons, etc. can be thought of as both waves and particles. Before an electron/photon is measured, you can think of it as a wave rather than particle, though when it is measured, the wave-like behavior 'collapses', so to speak, and it may behave more like a particle, in the sense we think of them. I believe the wave-like behavior of the light is retained, even in a single photon, because it is only measured after it has encountered the slits. I'm already out of my depth with physics here (I'm only really familiar with classical mechanics), but perhaps this has to do with fundamental particles being described as wavelike excitations of a field in QFT.

    • @SonyWilliam
      @SonyWilliam 7 лет назад +6

      About the duality of wave and particle of matter, you got the fact right. If photons are shone one at a time at a double slit, each photon (or electron, if used) will hit a single spot on the screen behind. The cumulative pattern, however, or probability distribution on the screen will follow a "double-slit" pattern, aka interference. Now you wonder how can the photon/electron know the existence of the other slit, and you put a detector at the double slit to see exactly which slit each photon/electron passes through each time, the interference pattern will be destroyed, and all you will ever see are two bright dots on the screen, as what you would see if you shoot a gun through a wall with two narrow windows. By measuring its precise position at the slit, you destroyed its wave property, leaving it with 100% particle property. Hence no more interference, only the straight paths are left.

    @MarkElDeiry 9 лет назад +6

    1:59 to 2:04 - "IF both particles are measured at 0, the relationship will always hold." I do not understand why that implies that they are entangled. This is no different than we would expect.
    IF one particle is measured at 0, THEN it will always remain as 0 (unless there is an intervening measurement of A/B)... and if the second particle is also measured at 0, then it will always remain at 0. So IF the particles HAPPEN to match the first time they are measured... then they will always match. Would we expect anything different? Wouldn't the corollary also be true? If one particle measured at 0 and the other measured at 1, then they will always be opposite no matter how far apart you move them, no?
    More information is needed to explain why this indicates an entanglement between the two particles. For instance, if we have one source of a dozen particles and measure the first particle at A, does that mean that we can predict with 100% accuracy that the remaining eleven particles will also be A? In which case, it seems that a property of the source is determining whether all the particles emitted from it are A or B.
    Also, if we then measure the first particle at 1, does that then mean we can predict with 100% certainty that all the remaining eleven particles are also 1?
    Better yet, suppose we measure particle X at 1, and particle Y also at 1... Then we measure particle X at A... does that then give us a 50% chance that particle Y will change from 1 to 0? Or is particle Y not scrambled by the A/B measurement to X in the same way that X is scrambled? In which case, did we not just disprove that X and Y are "entangled" and proven that they were only the same in the original measurement by chance and would expect them to remain the same until an intervening A/B measurement caused them to change 50% of the time?

      I assume that was a reference to Schrödinger's cat.. If so, then no, entanglement is different: in the cat case, there is one measurable state for one object, which is determined only when the measurement is actually made; however, entanglement involves correlations between states of multiple (say two) objects, and determining the state of one object "instantaneously" determines the state of the other object (no matter how far away). It was the "instantaneous" character of this process that bothered Einstein and others, since special relativity is so firmly grounded that current quantum theories are based on it, and one of the things special relativity did was to show that simultaneity is not an objective physical condition.

    Also, suppose we take a measurement and find that it is 1, why would we find it strange that when we measure it again later, it is also 1? Why would we expect it to change from the first measurement to the next?

    Nice video. Just a qn if its ok. Got here due to curiosity abt how Einstein was said to be wrong with his "spooky action at a distance". So the qn is why do we know that the measured physical properties of entangled particles aren't predetermined prior measurement?
    Did look up some wiki pages about hidden variables and Bells Theorem etc but didnt feel like I learnt much from them except how his inequalities were violated etc.. Alot of it sounds overly complicated and round about. I get how the properties are random and we have to measure to know it and how entanglement led to correlation. But not sure how that concludes as Einstein being wrong. For instance, the properties that are unknown until measured surely can be considered a "hidden variable" even though that may not be exactly what he meant when he said that. I guess its more like a known variable whose value or state is indeterminate but I guess I just need to know why is it necessarily assumed to have meant to be uncorrelated based on what Einstein said?
    Any good clean way to explain it all?
    Forgot to add. My unds of the topic is obviously weak. For instance I seem to unds that entanglement suggest definite correlation between physical properties of a particle pair but I somehow still feel that if I changed the properties of one particle, somehow, the entanglement nature will fall apart? (Correct me if I'm wrong). Anyway, so does making measurements count as external influence or interaction somewhat similar as how I would make a change in a physical property?

      Would be cool but thats not the case. The explanation are always misleading into thinking something like that would work but actually only the quantum states are connected not a whole particle. e.g. the spin of a particle. You can imagine it has a rotation (even though it is not really rotation). You measure one particle and find a rotation of 90 degrees and then you measure the other one and you will always find 90 degrees as well even though they are far apart. If you would try to smash something in it it would change the state of the particle and the entanglement is gone :/ It also only works with reading. Changing something yourself breaks the entanglement. So you can't really send a message or make something explode somewhere else.

    What about transmitting information this way:
    You measure one particle A) in 1 direction, and the other, B) in that same direction plus another one. Since A is measured solely in one direction, it will remain the same. So, if B is measured again in the original direction it wil yield the same result, always.
    Now, if we stop A for a moment and don't measure its properties, B will be free to be in whichever state it so desires, so we will sometimes see an opposite value. If measured often enough, this bit of information can be very reliable.
    And if A was to change according to B, we can flip the whole thing over: if A measures continuity, B is not being measured and if A measures 2 different values, B is being measured.
    So does this mean that we CAN send information this way?

    • @logicreasonevidence7571
      @logicreasonevidence7571 8 лет назад

      I think the problem is it's like the entangled particles are like two coins tossed in the air. Until one is measured it's in a super position of BOTH heads & tales (or seems to be - no one knows) but when one is measured the 50 / 50 probability of either a heads or a tales becomes either one or the other. So we can't know in advance what that will be therefore something like morse code: a 0 or a 1 can't work (heads or tales) because there's no way to agree that what each part of a message can be making it useless.

    The issue is one of whether or not quantum mechanics is complete. At the ensemble level the Schroedinger equation makes predictions correct to one part in 10^12, and I think we can take it for granted that this could just as well be one part in 10^100 or well beyond the Planck level. There is nothing like a viscosity term to be added to the SE. Modification of the SE is prohibited, which applies also to the Dirac or any similar equation. QM would be an easy subject if it were permitted, and any sensible natural philosopher will realise the unlikelihood of such permission being given. QM is complete at the ensemble level.
    At the level of the discrete or individual event, we obviously need some other idea to get an outcome where a cat is either dead or alive, and never in a mixture of states. This other idea needs to be orthogonal to the SE in some way. Without knowing anything about Bell's Theorem, we need to be looking at the superluminal world anyway. There is more than one way to travel faster than light, so the SE could describe an oscillation in the way that exchanges spacelike and timelike intervals. We can have tachyonic Brownian motion in the other way, which can induce a broken symmetry when the entity interacts with two or more detectors, so only one detector gets the prize. This is an idea for computer simulation using a random number generator and there is a long way to go. Other ideas are welcome, but please be aware of the basic principle that we cannot modify the SE.

    Does entangled states become less entangled over time due to interactions? Because, is Big Bang were to be true, then all the particles came out of one flash of energy which is equivalent to a prepared initial state implying everything is entangled with everything else... Or does this only work for matter - antimatter pair?

  • @freesongsmusic

    So a source can "spit out" two "particles" (light spits out as a particle and a wave) that are always correlated anytime you measure them. If one is 0 then the other is B, if one is 1 then the other is A, but they always change their status between 0,1 for first and A, B for the second. No matter where particle 1 and particle 2 are, even a million km apart, there is always an instant correlation between them however and when they are measured. For instance, light (source) acts either as a particle (particle 1) or as a wave (particle 2).

  • @pavelZhd

    Erm...
    It's a bit hard to wrap my mind around... like most of quantum strangeness of our world...
    So if we have a pair of particles originating from one source and we measure 1-st particle as "1" if we measure second particle we get "1" (that if the entanglement correlation is "always equal", other way we might get a pretetermined "0")
    But if we measure 1-st particle on it's different property we get random result "A" or "B" and at the same time we reset the "1"/"2" proberty to being undetermined again.
    So if we measure 1-st particle on "1"/"2" and keep those measurements if someone performes an "A"/"B" measurement we get a 50% chance to get a different result on first particle. Right?
    So if we perform like 100 measurement per second on first particle, and check - if all measurements yelded the same result - we can count this as "0 transmitted" And if during this second we get some spontanious result change we can count this as "1 transmitted" and this way have a binary datastream that is limited by it's banwdth speed (1b/s in this example which is a crappy speed), but is totally independant of distance.
    True - this relies on the itea that out of 50 subsequant measuments with undeterminder results some will yeld different results which is not certain ofcource, but after all convetional binary data transmissions we have now are also not 100% reliable and thus we have methods of identifying and fixing occasional bit-leacks in datasteams using encodings...

    I am curious, I know they meant these measurements in a broad sense, resulting in the same results. But what exactly were these measurement? Weight? Energy? Proton counts? Size? Movement pattern?
    Exactly what is identical between the two particles?
    What happens to the other particle if the entangled particle it was attached to is turned into energy, would this mean energy and matter still retain information together? Or does the particle simply find a different particle to attach to?
    I realize asking HOW this happens would be something that is probably we won't know til decades, hundreds of years if ever. But I will still ask... just incase we do actually know.

    What if there were two observers at both ends, continuously observing the states of the two entangled particles simultaneously after fixed time intervals? Would the states of two particles be opposite to each other every instant of time both of the observers measure their states? Let's suppose "A" and "B" are two states, and measurement time instants are 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5. And assume that the states measured by first observer for instants 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 are A, B, A, A, & B respectively. Would this imply that for the second observer, measured states for instants 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 be B, A, B, B, & A respectively? If that's the case, then the notion of quantum entanglement is pretty bizarre.

      No because the really really really weird thing about Quantum Entanglement is that WE can choose it's value ourselves. This is because there are detectors which can see whether a photon is in either a wave or particle form & if you aren't measuring which it acts like a wave i.e. in all possible positions but as soon as you look at it close up to see how one photon can be everywhere at once BAM! It's suddenly in one place just because it's being watched. Stop watching it & it seems to know & it's everywhere again. This even happens AFTER it's left the transmitter so your actions re-write history -your viewing it changes the past! - Or at least it seems to. In truth no one has a clue of what's really going on which is why it bother Einstein so much. He went to his grave completely perplexed by how it seems to know whether or not it is being watched!

      @douggwyn9656 7 лет назад

      The number of elementary particles is not fixed, but varies due to what is called spontaneous creation and annihilation of virtual particles. You might patch up your notion to include that, but anyway it doesn't work; the properties change during measurement in such a way that measuring some properties completely randomizes other "orthogonal" properties. Current quantum theory of measurement considers that the measuring device and the measured object acquire correlated states, which fixes a long-standing concern with the Copenhagen interpretation (wherein measuring devices forced a "jump" of the measured object from a mixed state into a definite state, think Schrödinger's cat).

But unless explicitly measured they might remain entangled for ages, then separate from each other over huge distances which could lead to the whole breaking the speed of light thing with information if measured!
