What do you understand about quantum entanglement?

In summary, the conversation touched on the possibility of using quantum entanglement as a means of faster-than-light communication in space, but it was explained that this is not possible due to the need for multiple measurements and statistical verification. The concept of quantum particles existing in additional dimensions was also mentioned, with the clarification that String Theory is more speculative compared to the confirmed Quantum Field Theory.

i have a doubt, can quantum entanglement be our future source of sending signals to space without waiting a lot of light years to reach? please someone explain how quantum entanglement works in space and particles.

It's common to think that quantum entanglement could support some sort of faster than light communications - but it can't. Entanglement cannot be recognized until the measurement results form both of the entangled particles are compared - and even then, many such comparisons need to be made to create a statistically significant verification that some spooky had been happening.

thanks, and does the quantum field have different feeling or sense about space/time? another dimension? which dimension would quantum particles be?

Quantum Field Theory uses the conventional 4 dimensional space-time of relativity.

String theory however does postulate extra dimensions - but it is much more speculative - QFT has been confirmed experimentally to great precision.

Related to What do you understand about quantum entanglement?

1. What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum mechanics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle affects the state of the other, even when separated by large distances.

2. How does quantum entanglement work?

Quantum entanglement occurs when two particles are created or interact in a way that results in their shared characteristics becoming linked. This link persists even when the particles are separated, and any change in one particle's state will be reflected in the other's state.

3. What is the significance of quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is significant because it challenges our understanding of how the universe works. It also has potential applications in quantum computing, cryptography, and teleportation.

4. Is quantum entanglement real?

Yes, quantum entanglement has been experimentally observed and verified multiple times. It is a well-established phenomenon in quantum mechanics.

5. How is quantum entanglement different from classical entanglement?

Classical entanglement refers to the link between two objects that is based on their properties or interactions in the past. In contrast, quantum entanglement involves a more fundamental and mysterious connection between particles that persists despite separation and can only be explained by the laws of quantum mechanics.
