Article: Faked States mimic quantum entanglement

In summary, quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where particles become connected at a quantum level, and their states are dependent on each other regardless of distance. It differs from classical entanglement, which can be explained by classical physics. Faked states are used to mimic quantum entanglement for research purposes, and they are created through various techniques. Studying faked states and quantum entanglement can lead to advancements in technology and a better understanding of the laws of physics.

Article: "Faked States" mimic quantum entanglement

Does anyone know where to find a copy of this that isn't pay-walled?

The article you mean is a news coverage of a different article that appeared on PRL. "Experimentally Faking the Violation of Bell’s Inequalities" by I. Gerhardt et al., PRL 107, 170404 (2011).

That original article can also be found for free on ArXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/1106.3224.

1. What is quantum entanglement?

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where two or more particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle is dependent on the state of the other, regardless of the distance between them.

2. How does quantum entanglement differ from classical entanglement?

Quantum entanglement differs from classical entanglement in that it involves particles at a quantum level, where the laws of classical physics do not apply. In classical entanglement, the entangled particles are still connected, but their states can be explained by classical physics.

3. What is the significance of faked states in mimicking quantum entanglement?

Faked states are used to mimic quantum entanglement in order to study and understand the phenomenon better. By creating artificial entangled states, scientists can gain insights into the behavior and properties of entangled particles.

4. How are faked states created?

Faked states are created by manipulating the states of individual particles through various techniques such as quantum gates and measurements. These techniques can create entangled states that behave similarly to natural entangled states.

5. What potential applications can arise from studying faked states and quantum entanglement?

Studying faked states and quantum entanglement can have various applications, including the development of quantum computers, secure communication systems, and advanced cryptography methods. It can also lead to a better understanding of the fundamental laws of physics and potentially new technologies in the future.
