Quantum entanglement and teleportation using the Einstein-Rosen bridge

Researchers from the Institute of Photonic and Quantum Sciences at Heriot-Watt University and the University of Geneva have made breakthrough discoveries while studying quantum entanglement. It is a state in which two particles – such as photons of light – remain connected, even if an enormous distance separates them. The findings show a new way for quantum entanglement to survive and remain resilient even in extreme situations. In the test, researchers controlled the entangled photons under conditions of loss and noise equivalent to 79 km of telecommunications fibre-optic cable. In the future, quantum networks will provide high-bandwidth communications that are virtually completely secure and immune to attacks by hackers.

Scientists at the California Institute of Technology and Fermilab, a US research centre for particle and high-energy physics, created two tiny simulated black holes in a quantum computer and sent a message between them through a kind of wormhole in space-time. However, scientists acknowledge that they are very far from being able to send humans or other living beings through this type of portal. Scientists have observed the dynamics of a space-time tunnel on the Sycamore quantum processor developed by Google’s artificial intelligence division. The space-time tunnel – a rupture in time and space – is thought to be a bridge between two distant regions in the universe. Scientists call it the Einstein-Rosen bridge in honour of the two physicists who described the phenomenon – Albert Einstein and Nathan Rosen.

According to former Israeli Prime Minister Ja’ir Lapid, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan’s support for Hamas is a “disgrace” to the country, and it will take a long time to improve Israeli-Turkish relations. Relations between these countries have never been stable as they competed for regional dominance. However, there was a significant rapprochement before the […]

Why do scientists expand the definition of loneliness to include the feeling of disconnection from animals, places, habits, rituals or weather? For example, Turkana shepherds in Kenya have to abandon their seasonal lifestyle due to climate change, droughts and violence in the region. Families are separated from farm animals, and social bonds based on the […]

It’s lethwei, a brutal martial art called the “art of the nine limbs” because every body part can be used in an […]
