QUANTUM PHYSICS MANIA

  Hyperentanglement is when quantum particles become linked simultaneously across multiple independent properties—like their spin , polarisation , and momentum —rather than just one. This multi-layered connection lets particles carry much more quantum information at once, boosting the power and efficiency of quantum communication and computing. Recent experiments, like those at Caltech using optical tweezers , have proven hyperentanglement is not just theory but an achievable reality. This breakthrough is paving the way for faster, more secure quantum networks and stronger quantum computers , fundamentally changing how we harness quantum physics for technology. What Is Hyperentanglement? Breaking It Down At its core, hyperentanglement means quantum particles are entangled in more than one property at the same time . To understand this, remember that quantum particles like photons or atoms have various “ degrees of freedom ” — different measurable properties such as: S...

Can We Use Entanglement to Detect Gravitational Waves? The discovery of gravitational waves has revolutionized our understanding of the universe. Gravitational waves are ripples in the fabric of space-time that are created by the movement of massive objects such as black holes and neutron stars. The detection of these waves requires incredibly sensitive equipment, and until recently, they were only observed indirectly. However, recent advances in technology have allowed us to detect these waves directly, opening up a whole new field of astrophysics. One promising area of research is the use of entanglement to detect gravitational waves. Entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles become correlated in such a way that their states are dependent on each other, even when separated by vast distances. By creating entangled particles and measuring their properties, researchers hope to detect the extremely weak gravitational waves. The idea of using entanglement to detect gravitational wa...
