Quantum teleportation achieved over ten miles of free space - Polidicks

[QUOTE=Mindtwistah;22078598]Couldn't this be used for moving photons at speeds faster than the speed of light? Like, if you have two photons, both bonded to each other and both several light years apart. If you spin one photon, it wont spin faster than the speed of light, but since the second photon is several light years away and has to go in circles around you and the first photon it will travel faster than the speed of light.[/QUOTE] It's not like they have a magic tether connecting them. What effects one effects the other, you can't spin one to make the other swing.

[QUOTE=Janus Vesta;22078681]It's not like they have a magic tether connecting them. What effects one effects the other, you can't spin one to make the other swing.[/QUOTE] Oh, I thought they had created a bond (like bonds in a molecule) between two photons.

great! maybe we will have another way of transfering info without a cable now :P

Finally I shall be able to play with Europeans without lagging out if this is applied to the internet. And Aussies won't have a limit on their downloads.

[QUOTE=zombojoe;22078782]Finally I shall be able to play with Europeans without lagging out if this is applied to the internet. And Aussies won't have a limit on their downloads.[/QUOTE] They'll still have a limit on their downloads.

In the near future, quantum entanglement will have become perfected, spanning large quantities of matter with quantum processing and networking. Things like computer calculations will be handled flawlessly, and communication will be real time without any delay. Dice will have developed Battlefield 7, and it will still. Fucking. Lag.

[QUOTE=Aurablock;22077256]Why is is that stories like this come up constantly, and yet nothing useful comes from it except theoretical knowledge?[/QUOTE] Because Quantum mechanics isn't exactly straight forwards. And why everytime this shit is discovered why is there always some asshat demanding instant innovation. It's the job of entrepeneurs not scientists to get this stuff into products for people.

[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;22066895]But doesn't that violate special relativity? You know, since information is being transmitted faster than the speed of light and all...?[/QUOTE] You're missing the point, information is not transmitted at all. The two particles have some sort of bond that we are not able to measure. Once one of them changes, the other instantly does as well. [editline]02:46PM[/editline] [QUOTE=leontodd;22066905]I hear articles like this daily and nothing ever comes out of it.[/QUOTE] You're impatient. People are doing research on these sort of things every day. You have to remember that your home is the last place any new technological achievement arrives. Mainstream product manufacturers are always the last to get a piece of the cake.

No information is transmitted faster than the speed of light, it's just having two particles but what you do to one will instantly happen to the other, they act as one particle. Completely independent of distance.

[QUOTE=Sickle;22080824]And thus faster than light[I] interaction.[/I][/QUOTE] Good job rewording what I said. There's just people in this thread that are saying "omg how can u go faster than littee!! this breaks physicsss!!"

[QUOTE=lulzbocks;22066761]Too many big words.[/QUOTE] Why don't you read a book sometime?

[QUOTE=Aurablock;22077256]Why is is that stories like this come up constantly, and yet nothing useful comes from it except theoretical knowledge?[/QUOTE] Read my comment on page 2

Finally an internet connection with speeds of up to 1,000,000 gigaquads a second!

[QUOTE=Aurablock;22077256]Why is is that stories like this come up constantly, and yet nothing useful comes from it except theoretical knowledge?[/QUOTE] Because while the concept is proven it does take significantly longer to develop a working teleport system. AFAIK we've only had success with testing this for the past decade. Don't be so impatient.

[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;22066738]Look. I want to know if instant communication is actually possible or not. Articles like this are usually really misleading. Can someone tell me?[/QUOTE] 18 dumbs wow. why

[QUOTE=BAZ;22081070]Good job rewording what I said. There's just people in this thread that are saying "omg how can u go faster than littee!! this breaks physicsss!!"[/QUOTE] Your explanation of what's happening certainly does break physics. If actions performed on one particle were mirrored in the other, that would be FTL communication.

[QUOTE=Valdrone;22071138]This is the quantum communicator in Mass Effect 2. Not so much the standard sci-fi device.[/QUOTE] Thought of this on the moment I heard of this. [editline]06:51PM[/editline] [QUOTE=BaconDioxide;22082675]18 dumbs wow. why[/QUOTE] Because you are too box to understand the article?

[QUOTE=Fippe;22082946]Because you are too box to understand the article?[/QUOTE] God fucking damnit, I understand the article perfectly. I even explained why you can't use it for instant communication on page 2.

[QUOTE=Jurikuer;22081456]Finally an internet connection with speeds of up to 1,000,000 gigaquads a second![/QUOTE] Quantum Teleportation won't make your internet faster, you'll get 0 latency.

I'd say the people who were saying "ZOMFG history has been made today" were the ones who didn't understand the article.

[QUOTE=Mindtwistah;22083003]Quantum Teleportation won't make your internet faster, you'll get 0 latency.[/QUOTE] It won't do that either

[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;22083007]I'd say the people who were saying "ZOMFG history has been made today" were the ones who didn't understand the article.[/QUOTE] It's still historical for proving the hypothesis of this occurrance. This could have future applications with more research poured into it.

Wow, this has been an awesome week for Science.

[QUOTE=Marden;22078444]It's coming... [IMG]http://findlaydonnan.files.wordpress.com/2008/12/800px-resonance_cascade_ayool.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE] [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_spectrometry]We can already do that[/url]

[QUOTE=Fippe;22083040]It's still historical for proving the hypothesis of this occurrance. This could have future applications with more research poured into it.[/QUOTE] Like what? Quantum cryptography? Everyone in this thread is talking about FTL communication, which is fucking impossible.

[QUOTE=BaconDioxide;22083007]I'd say the people who were saying "ZOMFG history has been made today" were the ones who didn't understand the article.[/QUOTE] I agree, your question was more informed than those posts that think that information can be transferred faster than light by using this, and certainly didn't deserve the dumbs

[QUOTE=ThePuska;22083112]I agree, your question was more informed than those posts that think that information can be transferred faster than light by using this.[/QUOTE] So why'd I get all the dumbs? If I get shat upon from a great height, I want to know WHY. cheers though

A few people think they understand quantum mechanics and stamp your post with the dumb rating. The rest see the brown box and read your post expecting it to be dumb. Taking pride in their perceived knowledge of physics they bandwagon on it.

The bandwagon effect is ridiculously powerful here, and I admit I've probably rated some posts dumb without thinking about it.
