Concept Of Quantum Entanglement

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
