begood Posted January 19, 2010 Report Posted January 19, 2010 Physicists have finally managed to demonstrate quantum entanglement of spatially separated electrons in solid state circuitry. For the first time, physicists have convincingly demonstrated that physically separated particles in solid-state devices can be quantum-mechanically entangled. The achievement is analogous to the quantum entanglement of light, except that it involves particles in circuitry instead of photons in optical systems. Both optical and solid-state entanglement offer potential routes to quantum computing and secure communications, but solid-state versions may ultimately be easier to incorporate into electronic devices. In addition to the possibility of using entangled electrons in solid-state devices for computing and secure communications, the breakthrough opens a whole new vista on the study of quantum mechanically entangled systems in solid materials.http://www.physorg.com/news182430388.htmlhttp://physics.aps.org/pdf/10.1103/PhysRevLett.104.026801.pdfNe apropriem de era cuantica cu pasi de elefant Quote
