I used to read your articles in Quantamagazine and now I watch your short but substantive lectures on quatum physics with the same pleasure. Great job, Katie... Merry Christmas 🙂
Thank you, Katie, very good video and with the bonus of the Python notebook to continue deepening. The duality (only mathematical?) between entangled particles and wormholes is something that has left me thinking since I heard Juan Maldacena in a talk he gave in Buenos Aires some time ago... Cheers!
I may agree that the measurement doesn’t affect the other particle’s state but there is some connection which somehow causes these particles communicate, no matter how far apart they in universe and why i’m seeing this because change in one’s state changes other’s state too and that too happens instantaneously.
Entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles are connected such that when the state of one is measured, it instantly determines the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are. That's it.
Bohr may have been the most vocal (ironic because he was famous mumbler) proponent of the Copenhagen Interpretation, but Born was also documented as being against hidden variables. For example, he gave a talk with Heisenberg at the '27 Solvay Conference (you know, the one where that famous group photo was taken) where he stated, "we consider quantum mechanics to be a closed theory, whose fundamental physical and mathematical assumptions are no longer susceptible of any modification".
@@radfordmcawesome7947 Now that you have shown off your knowledge and hopefully contented your ego, you can watch the video and find that she's confusing Born with Bohr.
@@mahasamatman121:30, she states that Max Born was "in the other camp", which is 100% correct, even though Niels Bohr was also in that camp. You're attacking me for no good reason, have a nice life.
Assuming you are talking about 10:41, it’s because L and R (oh, I just understood why they used those names lol) always measure opposite signs in those scenarios.
Oh wait, I understand what you are asking now. It’s because 4/9 is the upper bound for measuring the same sign, and those rows have 0 chance, thus not violating the bound.
@ They do, didn’t the video say they were talking about the probability to measure the same spin sign? edit: yeah, check out 9:30. You probably just misheard the first time around
QM classicalized in 2010. Forgotten Physics website uncovers the hidden variables and constants and the bad math of Wien, Schrodinger, Heisenberg, Einstein, Debroglie, Planck, Bohr etc. So,no.
Einstein said God doesn't play dice using telepathic methods. Which means there's either hidden parameters or there's spooky action at a distance. In 1964, it turned out that there are no hidden parameters, but there is spooky action at a distance. If we find the probabilities corresponding to the correlations of entangled particles at angles 0, 120, 240, they are P(+a,+b,+c)=P(-a,-b,-c)=-1/16 the other 6 states P(+a,+b,-c)=P(+a,-b,-c)=P(+a,-b,-c)=...=3/16. This means that there is no wave function describing an entangled state. There are no such complex numbers, the square of the modulus of which is equal to a negative number (Born rule). Therefore, the wave function will never be written in numbers, it can only be drawn with arrows.
This source uses the analogy of a map and a territory to discuss the relationship between **quantum mechanics** (the territory) and **hidden variable theories** (the maps). * **The Territory:** The territory in this analogy represents the true nature of reality at the quantum level. This territory is characterized by strange and counterintuitive phenomena like quantum entanglement. It's a landscape where particles can be linked regardless of distance, defying our everyday experiences of space and time. This territory is full of mystery and complexity, and our understanding of it is still evolving. * **The Maps:** The maps in this analogy represent different theoretical frameworks that attempt to describe and explain the territory of quantum mechanics. * **Map 1: Quantum Mechanics** - This map, based on the principles of quantum superposition and entanglement, suggests that the properties of particles are not determined until they are measured.

Bell's theorem and subsequent experiments have shown that the "Hidden Variable maps," at least in their simplest forms, do not accurately represent the territory.

Great explanation of Bell's inequality !!
Did Bob and Alice finally retire?
To tell you the truth, no one knows for sure.
they switched partners Bob and Carol, and Ted and Alice
Lucas and Rhianna?! That's simply irresponsible.
I used to watch all the lectures but for me this lecture is more fruitful.Thank you!!!

This is so important ❤

Entanglement and action at the distance are not the same. Entanglement is just particle correlation while action at the distance imply causation.
Thank you👍🏻
I didn't get why we can measure in 3 directions to get 4/9 then only use 2 dimensions to get 1/2... feels like slight of hand in math.
could entanglement happen with cosmological constant expansion of space (faster than light)?
Entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles are connected such that when the state of one is measured, it instantly determines the state of the other, no matter how far apart they are.
That's it.
No one asked you let her explain in detail.
bell's theorem and EPR isn't about intrinsic probability, but non-locality.
How can you confuse Max Born with Niels Bohr ?
Bohr may have been the most vocal (ironic because he was famous mumbler) proponent of the Copenhagen Interpretation, but Born was also documented as being against hidden variables. For example, he gave a talk with Heisenberg at the '27 Solvay Conference (you know, the one where that famous group photo was taken) where he stated, "we consider quantum mechanics to be a closed theory, whose fundamental physical and mathematical assumptions are no longer susceptible of any modification".

@mahasamatman12 What part are you referring to? The one where she contrasted Einstein's views with Born's?
@@mahasamatman121:30, she states that Max Born was "in the other camp", which is 100% correct, even though Niels Bohr was also in that camp.
You're attacking me for no good reason, have a nice life.
@@radfordmcawesome7947 Yes
Why is the co-sign squared?
Because cos(theta/2) represents the amplitude, which needs to be squared to give the probability.
@ thanks!
@@andrewcraig11781 yeah it’s just the Born rule if you wanna look it up - pretty central to QM
Verry nice, better than most, but some small slips. Also I do not like that the definition of what hidden variables is is not complete.
Why do the first and last rows not violate the equality??
Assuming you are talking about 10:41, it’s because L and R (oh, I just understood why they used those names lol) always measure opposite signs in those scenarios.
Oh wait, I understand what you are asking now. It’s because 4/9 is the upper bound for measuring the same sign, and those rows have 0 chance, thus not violating the bound.
@@radfordmcawesome7947 I thought those rows have a 100% chance, ie of getting opposite spins.

A lack of hidden variables disproves superdeterminism true story.
False story. You forgot to qualify local hidden variables.
Einstein said God doesn't play dice using telepathic methods. Which means there's either hidden parameters or there's spooky action at a distance. In 1964, it turned out that there are no hidden parameters, but there is spooky action at a distance.
If we find the probabilities corresponding to the correlations of entangled particles at angles 0, 120, 240, they are
P(+a,+b,+c)=P(-a,-b,-c)=-1/16
the other 6 states
P(+a,+b,-c)=P(+a,-b,-c)=P(+a,-b,-c)=...=3/16.
This means that there is no wave function describing an entangled state. There are no such complex numbers, the square of the modulus of which is equal to a negative number (Born rule). Therefore, the wave function will never be written in numbers, it can only be drawn with arrows.
Bro just had a stroke
your right albert einstein was so wrong, but to be smartenef to guest
hey a fellow McCormick that enjoys quantum mechanics maybe we're related
That was the one time Einstein was actually right.
