“There
is a big race going on between five or six groups to prove Einstein wrong.
There is one very big fish.”
Dr. Ronald Hanson, a
physicist leading the research at Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, part of the
Delft University of Technology in the Netherlands, speaking of their
demonstration of Quantum Teleportation
Well,
it looks like Albert Einstein may have been proven wrong on the instance of the
speed of light and the ability for information, at least, to travel faster than
the speed of Light! To say I have a fascination with the idea of Quantum Entanglement
of Quantum Teleportation may be the understatement of the year.
So
it’s with more than fascination that I announce the successful demonstration of
Quantum Teleportation by a team of physicists led by Dr. Ronald Hanson at the
Kavli Institute of Nanoscience, part of the Delft University of Technology in
the Netherlands as stated in “Scientists
achieve reliable quantum Teleportation for the first time”, published May
29, 2014 3:56 PM PDT by Nick Statt, CNET News.
Their
work, which was published in the Journal
of Science, indicates that they managed to send the Quantum Mechanical State
of one Electron to another Electron about 10 feet away, a distance that they
say can be increased to as much as a kilometer. Best of all, their results can
be replicated by other universities and the other groups of University
Physicists that are aiming to demonstrate that Quantum Entanglement is very
much possible.
Quantum Entanglement –
Super-cooled Diamonds are a Physicists best friend
The
Research team experimented with Electrons in Diamonds Atoms, which are made of
Carbon (C) whose Quantum Mechanical States was first observed and then
deliberately manipulated. To do this, the Diamond, a macromolecule of made of
Tetrahedral Carbon Atoms, were dropped to temperatures close to absolute zero
in a Vacuum chamber that sealed them from all forms of Vibration and
Electromagnetic Radiation that would cause their Quantum State to change.
These
values of the Quantum Mechanical States, called a quibit, are unique to each Electron
orbiting each Carbon (C) in the Diamond Lattice according to Pauli’s Exclusion
Principle. They are a combination of the following Quantum Numbers and are as
unique as a Serial number on a product:
1.
Principal Quantum Number, denoted as n
2.
Orbital Quantum Number, denoted as l
3.
Magnetic Quantum Number denoted as ml
4.
Spin Quantum Number denoted as ms
The
Quantum Numbers are related to each other via Equations based on the work of
Neil Bohr and later refined by Quantum Theory. Electrons can be seen as
negatively charged particles located within shells. Because their current
position is unknown until observed, the act of which affect their future
position as per the Heisenberg Uncertainty Principle, the equations used give
rise to these unique Quantum Numbers to describe each Electron based on its
unique Quantum Mechanical State.
To
that end, the various Quantum Numbers can be derived as thus:
1.
The Principal Quantum Number, n, can be
an integer from 1 to infinity i.e. 1 to ∞
2.
Orbital Quantum Number, denoted l, is also an integer value and can only
take values from 0 to (n-1)
3.
Magnetic Quantum Number, denoted as ml , can take
integer values from +l to –l
4.
Spin Quantum Number, ms can only take
values of +1/2 to -1/2
Note:
Strictly speaking, this doesn’t represent Electron spin as they’re not really
spherical charged particles. It’ just a naming that was mistakenly assigned to Electrons
based on observed Spectral lines that were explained by giving Electrons the
property of spin, with +1/2 denoting up spin and -1/2 denoting downspin.
So
in the case of Carbon, the Quantum Numbers are often represented using a
shortened notation that is composed of the Principal Quantum Number and the Orbital
Quantum Number. Each Principal Quantum Number
or Shell Number as they are called, is denoted by a number and each Orbital
Quantum Number is denoted with a letter; s, p, d, f. Thus Carbon (C) in the Diamond
Lattice would be represented thus: 1s2 2s2 2p2
To
work out the total number of Quantum States, use the value of the Magnetic
Quantum Number, ml in the
following equation:
4l+2
Thus
in the case of Carbon (C) in the Diamond Lattice:
n=2
l = 1, 0
Thus
the total Quantum States for each value of l can be calculated and summed up as
thus:
[4(1) +2] + [4(0) +2]
6
+ 2 = 8
Diamond
was chosen as all the Electrons are involved in four separate Covalent Single
Bonds, also called Sigma Bonds. Thus, they could be seen as being fixed in
terms of their relationship to each Carbon (C) Atom, only moving between Atoms
involved in each Bond but not fully Mobile i.e. unable to hold an e.m.f. At
that temperature under such conditions, this would represent the Vacuum
Conditions that exists in Space.
At
that point, all the Carbon (C) Atoms and the Electrons in those Covalent Single
Bonds would be in the same Quantum Mechanical State but not the same Quantum
Number for each Electron as per Pauli Exclusion Principle. At this point, the
initial Quantum Mechanical States based on the conditions that the Carbon (C) Atoms
are subjected to are known by theory. This as direct observation would result
in the Teams results falling into the trap of the Heisenberg Uncertainty
Principle.
That's
the easy stuff; the real hard part is to transmit this Quantum Information,
called a Quibit, which is usually expressed as a series of unique integer
values unique to every Electron in the Diamond Lattice Structure to another
sample of Diamonds that have also been subjected to the very same conditions.
In
effect, the physicists are trying to transmit the Quibits of Data so as to make
the two samples of Diamond, separated by a distance of 3 m and then 10 m, have
the same Quantum Mechanical State for every Carbon (C) Atom. I used to know
this phenomenon as super-symmetry, but apparently the scientists have figured
out a way to make this “spooky action at a distance”, that Albert Einstein used
to characterize Quantum Theory concept of super-symmetry, work.
So
since the two samples are separated by a distance of 3m and then 10 m and are
connected in no way, as they’re
isolated in Vacuum sealed chambers at temperatures close to that of Absolute
zero, how did the Quantum Entanglement occur?
Lasers and FSO – Quantum
Teleportation potential for Computing and Telecommunications
To
be honest, I’m not even sure this is a legitimate discovery.
This
is somewhat similar to a previous discovery made by a team of European and
Canadian scientists as explained in “Scientists
teleport info 90 miles across islands”, published August 15, 2012 10:00 AM
PDT by Tim Hornyak, CNET News. That experiment
involved Quantum Teleportation of the Quantum Mechanical States of Atoms in a
sample over a distance of 90 miles between the islands of La Palma and
Tenerife.
Albeit
the two samples of Atoms were made to have the same Quantum Mechanical States, this
was more of a demonstration of a FSO (Free Space Optical) Telecommunications to
carry the information related to the Quibits of the Electrons in the sample using
a Laser Beam more than anything else as stated in my blog article entitled
“Scientists
demonstrate Quantum Teleportation over 90 miles on Canary Islands - Telecom
Providers become Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy as FLORA Networks are feasable”.
Such
a method means that the information still occurs at the speed of light,
suggesting that there would indeed be a delay. That delay in the Teleportation
of information is caused by the transmitting and receiving stations on each
island having to take time to decode the information and then apply it to the
other sample of Atoms.
Thus
in the strictest sense of the word, that previous experiment over 90 miles wasn’t
true Quantum Entanglement, but merely a demonstration of the transmission of
Quantum Data reliably over a FSO (Free Space Optical) Telecommunications link.
So
the team of physicists led by Dr. Ronald Hanson may be doing the same thing, only
over a shorter distance. Technically speaking, if they can demonstrate it at
longer distances, say a kilometer, it would prove that this was indeed Quantum
Entanglement and the information travelled at speeds faster than light. The only difficulty would be the simultaneous
monitoring of the two locations, which could be overcome by using synchronized Atomic
clocks at both ends.
This
is to time precisely when changes were made to the Quantum Mechanical State of
one sample of Diamond Atoms and when those changes manifested in the second
sample of Diamond Atoms I km away. If they occur at the exact same time, eliminating
measuring delays in the Equiptment, then it could be said that they’re
Entangled and we’ve witnessed Quantum Teleportation of Quibits.
Quantum Teleportation –
Supercomputers on your wrist with unlimited Broadband Internet
My
very first article on Quantum Teleportation explored the idea of using drugs
such as THC (Tetra Hydro Cannabinol) from Marijuana (Cannabis Sativa) and Psycobin from Mushrooms to relax the mind
before Quantum Teleportation as explained in my blog article entitled
“Future
Ultra-Wideband enables Quantum Teleportation - THC, Salvia and Psilocybin Ben
10 Alien Force”.
I’m
actually obsessed with the idea, as it appeals to the part of me that dislikes
being confined in a vehicle, no matter how fancy or pretty. Strictly speaking,
this is the Teleportation of objects, as that would require you to destroy the
items in one place and recreate it in another.
Rather,
this is the accurate transportation of Quibits that represent the Quantum
Mechanical state of Electrons in Carbon (C) Atoms in a Diamond Lattice being
reproduced precisely in another sample of Carbon (C) Atoms in a different
Diamond Lattice subjected to the same conditions, paving the way for a new type
of Communications System not based on Electromagnetic Spectrum.
The
applications of Quantum Teleportation are amazing:
1.
Super Fast Computers at near infinite
processing speeds
2.
Real-Time High Bandwidth Data
Communication Systems that don’t use Electromagnetic Spectrum
If
this eventually reaches that state where this could be done at room temperature
with smaller microchip sized equiptment, then super-fast Quantum Computers may
soon be possible. Also, this could be used to develop superfast Communication
and Relay Systems powered by such Quantum computers, as Data could be encoded
in Quibits and transmitted as highly compressed Data at speeds faster than
light using this technique.
Still,
despite what this development means as a baby step, I can still dream of future
applications once the Higgs Field discovery is factored in as explained in my blog article entitled
“Higgs
Boson Discovery is the Biggest discovery of 2012 - Lay the Favourite for
Anti-Gravity, Light Speed Travel and Quantum Teleportation Deadfall”.
I
would like the freedom one day to just walk up to a phone booth-like
contraption or a Post Office, as I’ve always imagined it, and just requesting a
destination and being teleported there without having to move. Or even having
packages sent to me via a Teleportation device in the comfort of my home in
real time!
One
thing is for sure: Einstein's disqualification of entanglement due to its violation
of classical mechanics may soon be at an end!
