Quantum entanglement is a very strange behavior. https://www.facebook.com/CollectiveEvolutionPage/posts/pfbid02nQMW7BYegRYTpfZb49BApyAJWKtnw3ThPnsR1HVGzufPjPySyJQMFKAy6qqQHrhpl

Researchers at the University of Ottawa and Sapienza University of Rome have captured the quantum wavefunction of two entangled photons in real time using a breakthrough imaging technique called biphoton digital holography.

The resulting image resembles a glowing yin-yang, as you see in the image with this post. The image is built from real experimental data collected by an ultra-high-precision camera capable of mapping the quantum state of an entangled pair as it evolves.

For nearly a century, quantum entanglement existed primarily as a mathematical description. This new method offers an unprecedented way to visualize and study the relationship between particles that behave as a single system, even when separated by distance.

Published in Nature Photonics, the research could dramatically speed up future quantum measurements and help advance quantum computing, communication, and sensing technologies.

We've been reporting on quantum science for 17 years, and this is one of the most interesting visualizations of the science we have seen.

Learning to think scientifically and analytically takes time and practice, AI may undermine that practice.

Preserving opportunities for independent thought is particularly important because scientific writing and interpretation are themselves mechanisms for organizing knowledge and developing judgment. ...
