Experiment shows Einstein’s quantum ‘spooky action’ approaches the human scale – UNSW Newsroom

Many theories that deal with the world on the quantum level are only theoretical postulates that were never proven. As the science advances, we are able to gather some empirical data that supports these theories. One such study sheds new light on the way objects, which contain billions of particles, move as a system. The result may pave the way towards building quantum mechanisms on a massive scale. The ability to scale up these mechanisms is a major breakthrough in quantum science.

Key Takeaways:

• Quantum physics has often been referred to as a science that deals with microscopically small items, in particular atoms, electrons and photons.
• Scientifically speaking, entanglement refers to a connection between two distinct objects separated by an arbitrary distance.
• These two objects are connected enough so that measurement changes made on one object create a verifiable change in measurement results for the other.

“An object that cannot isolate itself from the fury will find that the richness of quantum dynamics cannot be accessed. So its motion will be well described by the familiar rules of classical physics.”
