Using Wolfgang Pauli's Exclusion Principle for communication

In summary, the conversation discusses the possibility of using the spin of certain sister pairs of subatomic particles for digital communication and energy transfer. However, this is not possible even in theory as any interaction or measurement to fix the state of the particles breaks their entanglement and their spin is random and unpredictable.

has anyone worked on using the spin of certain sister pairs of subatomic particles as digital communication that is that to have a device that spins one sister particle one way or another, that spins its sister particle in a receiver on the other side of the world or universe where a sensors detects the spin and turns it into digital communication. Or what about using it to transfer energy say from a probe collecting solar energy somehow using this energy to spin one sister particle and the energy been havested from the spin of the other sister particle say on earth?

That is not possible, not even in theory.
Even if you have entangled particles, every measurement or interaction to fix/chance its state in a way the receiver could notice breaks entanglement.

In addition to what has already been mentioned:

The result of the spin is random, (unpredictable/un-controlable), thus ("useful") information cannot be transfered.
 

1. What is Wolfgang Pauli's Exclusion Principle?

Wolfgang Pauli's Exclusion Principle states that no two identical fermions can occupy the same quantum state simultaneously. This means that two particles cannot be in the same place at the same time with the same energy level and spin.

2. How does this principle relate to communication?

The Exclusion Principle can be used to encode information through the manipulation of quantum states. By assigning different quantum states to represent binary digits, the principle can be used to transmit messages between two parties.

3. What are the advantages of using this principle for communication?

One advantage is that the communication channel would be inherently secure, as the act of measuring or observing the quantum states would alter them and make it impossible for an eavesdropper to intercept the message without being detected. Additionally, this method could potentially allow for faster and more efficient communication.

4. Are there any limitations to using this principle for communication?

One limitation is that the technology and infrastructure required for this type of communication is still in its early stages and not widely available. Another limitation is that the principle only applies to fermions, so it cannot be used for communication with all types of particles.

5. What are some potential applications of using Wolfgang Pauli's Exclusion Principle for communication?

This principle could have potential applications in secure communication, quantum computing, and even quantum teleportation. It could also have implications in the development of new technologies and advancements in the field of quantum mechanics.
