    A very simple question re: entangled photons

    Thanks Hi guys Thanks for all the help- this suggestion from Zonde is exactly what I'm looking for. It's a very clear description of a rigourous experiment. Thanks Zonde Also big thanks to Peter Morgan; I do have access to a University library, so I should be able to get copies of many...

    A very simple question re: entangled photons

    Reply to Dr Chinese Hi Dr Chinese Ok, I've spent some time with the paper you recommended (http://arxiv.org/PS_cache/quant-ph/pdf/0205/0205171v1.pdf). I admit that the maths is beyond me, but if I understand the experimental set-up correctly, a count is only made if both entangled...

    A very simple question re: entangled photons

    Thanks Javier for that link The paper refers to the orthogonal polarisation of entangled photons as a known fact, rather than actually demonstrating it... however, what an elegant experiment! It is this kind of bizarre behaviour that has sparked my interest in the field of quantum...

    A very simple question re: entangled photons

    Thanks Dr Chinese The paper you linked to does seem to be what I'm looking for... though I'm finding parts of it hard to understand, I'm going to persevere as you recommend. Incidentally, it was reading your explanation of Bell's inequalities that led me to post my question. Your...

    A very simple question re: entangled photons

    Hi I've been struggling to understand entanglement for some time now, and find that most explanations assume some basic knowledge that I don't have. Please could somebody help clear up a very basic query for me? If two photons are entangled, and we have no knowledge of their state of...

    Help wanted in understanding many worlds theory

    Hi Can anybody direct me to a full explanation of the many-worlds theory, as proposed by Hugh Everett to replace the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum physics? I'm looking for something comprehensible to a layman, not too heavy on the maths if possible. Specifically, I wish to...
