Spooky Action Up Close - Quantum Effects In Diamonds
Researchers from the Physikalisches Institut of the University of Stuttgart have create entangled quantum states in diamond, which means there is finally a diamond men care about - namely the one that might some day be inside a quantum computer working at room temperature, a feat so far considered impossible for other materials. While physicists have long described the world of atoms by quantum mechanics, one of its strangest characteristics that defies easy description allows the linking of two objects without any noticeable interaction over a distance. Einstein called this a spooky interaction. One of the most spectacular experiments based on this unusual entanglement characteristic is 'quantum teleportation', where the properties of one quantum object are transferred to another one at a remote location. read more
