Creating radiowave entangled photons

In summary: Entanglement is a fundamental property of quantum mechanics, but it's not like you can just point two photons at each other and have a conversation.

I'm not suggesting the following is true, but who knows, just maybe the single photon has bandwidth, and the single frequency we see in the e=hv formula just might be the peak frequency.

This thread is slipping into personal theories and speculation, which are not allowed under the PF rules... Time to close it.

Feynmann's book "QED: The strange theory of light and matter" is a good non-technical introduction to what a photon is and how different is from the popular conception of a particle that is emitted when we manipulate electromagnetic fields to produce electromagnetic radiation.

1. What is the purpose of creating radiowave entangled photons?

The purpose of creating radiowave entangled photons is to study the quantum phenomenon of entanglement and its potential applications in quantum communication and computing. Entangled photons have properties that are correlated, regardless of the distance between them, making them useful for secure communication and information processing.

2. How are radiowave entangled photons created?

Radiowave entangled photons are created through a process called spontaneous parametric down-conversion, where a laser beam is directed into a non-linear crystal, producing two entangled photons with opposite spin states.

3. What are the challenges in creating radiowave entangled photons?

One of the main challenges in creating radiowave entangled photons is maintaining their entangled state over long distances. This requires precise control and isolation from external influences that can cause decoherence, or the loss of entanglement. Another challenge is producing a high enough rate of entangled photons for practical applications.

4. What are the potential applications of radiowave entangled photons?

Radiowave entangled photons have potential applications in quantum communication, where they can be used to transmit information with high levels of security. They can also be used in quantum computing, where their entangled state can be harnessed to perform complex calculations more efficiently than classical computers.

5. How does creating radiowave entangled photons contribute to our understanding of quantum mechanics?

Creating radiowave entangled photons allows scientists to study the principles of quantum mechanics, such as superposition and entanglement, in a controlled environment. It also provides insights into the behavior of particles at the quantum level and how they interact with each other, leading to a deeper understanding of the fundamental laws of nature.
