This Essay is meant to shed light on a complex subject, quantum entanglement. Now, quantum entanglement is a part of much more complex subjects, such as classical mechanics, quantum theory, and quantum mechanics; these subjects will not be covered. The idea of quantum entanglement will be explained: What it is and when does it happen. After a little understanding of Entanglement, a discussion will follow on what it means for us from a technological standpoint and what can we accomplish in the near future. Pushing that idea further into the future looking at bigger possibilities in transportation, and what potential liabilities and moral dilemmas could ensue. It is my belief that quantum entanglement could accomplish many great things, but could …show more content…
Take that idea and now add two colors to it, red and blue. This implies that our colors added could be in any of these four states: a red square, a red circle, a blue square or a blue circle (Wilczek, 2016). For a quantum cake (q-on) the situation is different. In different situations a quantum cake’s the different shapes and colors does not mean that it possesses both color and shape at the same time (Wilczek, 2016). We can measure the shape of the quantum cake and we lose the information about its color, or vice versa, and we cannot measure them both simultaneously (Wilczek, 2016). This property shows us: “A property that is not measured need not exist, and measurement is an active process that alters the system being measured”(Wilczek, 2016, para. 16). In these entangled pairs, according to quantum theory we will get these results even if there are large distances separating the two systems (Wilczek, 2016). The measurement in one location would affect the state of the system in a different location which Einstein (1930) called “spooky action at a distance” (as cited in Wilczek, 2016). This phenomenon might seem to require the transfer of information –what measurement was preformed—at a rate faster than the speed of light ; This is called an EPR pair (Wilczek, 2016). Looking at it again does that really mean that’s its faster than light? Wilzcek puts this …show more content…
Although maybe possible in the very distant future in my belief a few complications could make it much harder to accomplish. Teleportation as previously discussed requires great precision in turn making it very secure, but the amount of information the human body and brain stores would make this vastly more difficult than a message like before. Teleportation would most likely require a disassembly of your atoms obliterating you and reassembling you in a different location; This reconstruction may not even be correct if any disruption occurred (jumbling your information). So, physical teleportation of living being may not be feasible or morally correct at any point in time soon, although teleportation of inanimate objects could be more

In the novel Alice in Quantumland by Robert Gilmore, a young girl named Alice, bored with her family and friends away, wishes she could be more like the Alice in her book- “Alice in Wonderland”. Alice decides to watch T.V., but when she notices something strange happening around her she’s sucked into a world of wonder and science.
If human beings are to explore those distant and wished for lands, we must first come to grips with some of the perplexing conceptual issues that have dogged quantum physics since its inception. These riddles dance around the enigma of quantum observership. Its contemplation brings us back from the realm of the multiverse to the intimate confines of our own skin, where we ask what it means to say that “we” “observe” “nature.”
The novel, Alice and Quantum Land, by Robert Gilmore is an adventure in the Quantum universe. Alice, a normal teenage girl, goes through quantum land and understands what quantum is and how it works. The quantum world is a difficult one to understand, as its nature is one of complex states of being, natures, principles, notions, and the like. When these principles or concepts are compared with the macro world, one can find great similarities and even greater dissimilarities between the world wherein electrons rule, and the world wherein human beings live. In Alice in Quantumland, author Robert Gilmore converts the original tale of Alice in Wonderland from a world of anthropomorphic creatures into the minute world of quantum mechanics, and attempts to ease the reader into this confusing world through a series of analogies (which comprise an allegory) about the principles of quantum mechanics. Through Alice’s adventure she comes across some ideas or features that contradict real world ideas. These ideas are the following: Electrons have no distinguishing spin, the Pauli Exclusion Principle, Superposition, Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, and Interference and Wave Particle Duality.
How do you view the use of public funds to support certain activities in church schools? Do you see a trend toward “excessive entanglement”? Where do you see the line needing to be drawn so as not to conflict with the establishment clause?
Following the successful conclusion for Independence from the British Empire in the early 1780s American government was a loose confederation of 13 states. During the summer of 1787 a group of patriots met in Philadelphia, Pa. to address the limitations of the Articles of Confederation and produced the Constitution which which has been the basis of American government. In 1789 George Washington Became president and given that we were weak government largely occupying a limited territory east of the Appalachian Mountains. Because of these limitations President Washington determined to establish a foreign policy of non entanglement with European powers. This became the primary foreign for the next 150 years.Dramatic change occured when the United States was attacked by the Japanese in 1941. The United States became the arsenal of democracy and continued and following WW2 and during the Cold War America's policy of non foreign entanglement ended as we took responsibility of every crisis around the world.
Quantum Mechanics This chapter compares the theory of general relativity and quantum mechanics. It shows that relativity mainly concerns that microscopic world, while quantum mechanics deals with the microscopic world.
Throughout the novel Alice in Quantumland, by Robert Gilmore Alice goes through this town called Quantumland and learns all about quantum physics. Alice, who had once found herself lost in a crazy mixed up world, finds that she actually learned something from it. Throughout her journey throughout this mixed up world, Alice has learned all about electrons, energy, interference, particles, and
It is my intention, in the course of this essay, to take the work of David Hume and reapply it to causality using quantum mechanical theory.
There has been many ground breaking experiments, and discoveries, about quantum entanglement. First, let’s look at the Schroedinger cat experiment that explains the basis of quantum theory that says, before a particle is measured it has no definite state. In this experiment Erwin Schroedinger devised a “mental” experiment that shows that particles have no defined state before they are measured. To do this, he put a cat, not actually, just in his mind, in a box and had a vial of poisonous gas that would break if an atom decayed in a certain amount of time. After the certain amount of time, before he had measured the state of the atom the cat was technically both dead and alive, but once you measure it then you can determine whether the cat is alive or dead. This experiment was actually showing how quantum theory can’t apply to everyday things and only particles, but it is a really easy way to understand that before you measure the state of a particle, it has no state. Next, another huge experiment for entanglement was Bell’s Theorem. This was to prove whether entangled particles have secret information when they are created and we just don’t know it, or if that they really can communicate faster than light. To do this, Bell had two particles, particle A and particle B, and he measured the spin of them. He figured out that by measuring
Stemming from the first years of the 20th century, quantum mechanics has had a monumental influence on modern science. First explored by Max Planck in the 1900s, Einstein modified and applied much of the research in this field. This begs the question, “how did Einstein contribute to the development and research of quantum mechanics?” Before studying how Einstein’s research contributed to the development of quantum mechanics, it is important to examine the origins of the science itself. Einstein took much of Planck’s experimental “quantum theory” research and applied it in usable ways to existing science. He also greatly contributed to the establishment of the base for quantum mechanics research today. Along with establishing base research in the field, Einstein’s discoveries have been modified and updated to apply to our more advanced understanding of this science today. Einstein greatly contributed to the foundation of quantum mechanics through his research, and his theories and discoveries remain relevant to science even today.
Quantum mechanics has profoundly changed the way we think about science and how we learn account the world. Since the time of the scientific revolution, we have viewed science as a very precise endeavor. If only we can collect enough relevant information about the parameters involved, we can predict exactly how the natural world will behave. Quantum mechanics has taught us that not only is that very not correct, but that the very act of observing the changes the nature of what we are looking at.
The discovery that we can make photons act strongly together could make developing quantum computers a lot easier. this discovery is the most recent of the five having only happened last year. Normally photons don't interact “Getting photons to stick together is not easy because they normally pass through each other without interacting”(Johnson), but...
Scientists and researchers will still continue researching ways to make teleportation possible and find practical uses of teleportation. Teleportation may be the only way to see certain parts of the universe that would take millenniums to reach by space shuttle.
Finally in 2012 Feynman’s thought-experiment had been accurately carried out by a team of researchers. The team managed to “show a full realization of Feynman’s thought experiment and illustrate key features of quantum mechanics: interference and the wave-particle duality of matter.”
