In a recent PNAS paper, scientists have described how they managed to achieve a quantum entanglement with a minimum of 103 dimensions with only two particles. 103 dimensions rather than 3? Is that a typo?Elementary particles such as photons can produce superpositions - existing in many possible quantum states simultaneously. In addition, when two particles are entangled a connection is generated: measuring the state of one (whether they are in one place or another, or spinning one way or another, for example) affects the state of the other particle instantly, no matter how far away from each other they are. read more
