Kind of like a VPN for elementary particles; the remote client and its presence on the local network are the same thing, if I'm not stretching my computer-physics analogies too far.
- klipt 17y agoYou can't actually send information faster than light though. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster_than_light_travel#Quantum_mechanics http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster_than_light_travel#Quantu... "Certain phenomena in quantum mechanics, such as quantum entanglement, appear to transmit information faster than light. According to the No-communication theorem these phenomena do not allow true communication; they only let two observers in different locations see the same event simultaneously, without any way of controlling what either sees."
- BearOfNH 17y agolet two observers in different locations see the same event simultaneously [...] So ... what if observer B does nothing while observer A (a long, long ways distant) measures something. Can B then "see" the corresponding wave function collapse, thereby knowing that A took a measurement? What I'm working towards here is not caring about the measurement outcome, but rather knowing that a measurement took place, and using that as "information". If you have enough entangled quanta don't you then have a primitive serial line? It should be obvious here that I'm not very familiar with QM. Just wondering.
