- TL;DR Summary
- Why can't information be sent via Quantum Entanglement through the time between the measurement of entangled particles?
Hello, my name is Jack and I'm a year 11 student in Australia. After listening to, and reading some information regarding quantum entanglement, I'm still a little unsure about the solution to a thought experiment:
Let's say that I create a situation in which multiple pairs of particles are entangled at a particular place and each partner in the pair is separated into one of two different groups. One group is sent 100 km in one direction and then other group is sent 100 km in the other direction. Couldn't you use the time delay between observation of each particle as a means of FTL communication? Say 1 second between particle measurement means a 0 in binary and 2 seconds means a 1 in binary. Hypothetically, with enough particles, couldn't you send meaningful messages faster than light?
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks, Jack.
P.S: The thought experiment could also work by pre-ordering the particles in a row to send information.
Sorry if I've totally missed something obvious!
