Just to clarify, classical EM is indeed local. As a concept, the field is of course global, i.e., existing throughout all space, and is...

If you buy into the QFT notion of non-local fields, it makes sense that quantum entanglement is a result of the interaction with those...

I tend to think entanglement is the result of (let's say) infinite quantum fields, with the caveat that whatever we (think) we know is...

I know this is a typo but lambs do emit photons (even in vacuum).

It can't be real, only a very good approximation to something that many think of as real. That is because the current best theory we...

What are these "things"? The quantum states in QFT are of the field. So, I don't understand what is meant by quantum states generated...

I suppose I have tended view a central component of QFT the (assertedly) infinite (but at least, non-local) nature of quantum fields...

Regarding Feynman's view of QM, just before he died, he attended a seminar by his friend (and the guy in the office next door)...

I think I am saying the same thing Bhoppa is saying (and, I suspect, the book he linked). He said QFT treats two entangled particles as...

It's a bit pricey, but the following does that and much more...

Bill, any additional thoughts or articles on how quantum fields may explain (non-local) entanglement would be much appreciated. I tend...

There is no consciousness here (I would argue). The entangled particle are correlated. I am curious about other peoples theories of how...

Is light "a quantum field" or is it more accurate to say it is an "excitation in a quantum field"? (Specifically, the electromagnetic...

My impression is, at a quantum level, all fundamental "particles" are really waves. According to Quantum Field Theory, all fundamental...

Yes, the concept I would throw out is that, perhaps, the entangled particles retain their same relationship to their underlying (and...
