The latest results from CERN reveal that we might be on the verge of new physics
Posted by Sean Brazell in category: particle physics
Science is always pushing the limit of accepted theories until we find that they don’t work anymore.
And the latest results from CERN indicate that we might be on the verge of new physics.
The data looks at a special particle called a B meson.

This new experiment will allow us to ‘see’ quantum entanglement with the naked eye
Posted by Klaus Baldauf in categories: particle physics, quantum physics
An experiment that would allow humans to directly perceive quantum entanglement for the first time has been devised by researchers in Switzerland, and they say the same technique could be used to quantum entangle two people.
While it would be incredibly cool to be the first person ever to witness quantum entanglement with your own eyes, the experiment has been designed to answer some important and far-reaching questions, such as what does quantum entanglement actually look like, and what does it feel like to be entangled with another human being?

Physicists find extreme violation of local realism in quantum hypergraph states
Posted by Karen Hurst in categories: computing, particle physics, quantum physics
(Phys.org)—Many quantum technologies rely on quantum states that violate local realism, which means that they either violate locality (such as when entangled particles influence each other from far away) or realism (the assumption that quantum states have well-defined properties, independent of measurement), or possibly both. Violation of local realism is one of the many counterintuitive, yet experimentally supported, characteristics of the quantum world.
Determining whether or not multiparticle quantum states violate local realism can be challenging. Now in a new paper, physicists have shown that a large family of multiparticle quantum states called hypergraph states violates local realism in many ways. The results suggest that these states may serve as useful resources for quantum technologies, such as quantum computers and detecting gravitational waves.
The physicists, Mariami Gachechiladze, Costantino Budroni, and Otfried Gühne at the University of Siegen in Germany, have published their paper on the quantum hypergraph states in a recent issue of Physical Review Letters.
