Quantum Entanglement

And Its Applications in
Faster Than Light Communications

Enders Game

Commanded a fleet of ships over 80 lightyears away.

Maximum speed is finite: No physical object, message or field
line can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.

Ansible

Device that allowed instantaneous, faster than light communication.

Actually exists!* First a little quantum background...

*Sort of

Foiled by Special Relativity

Maximum speed is finite: No physical object, message, or field line can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum.

299,792 km/s (or 186,000 mi/sec)

Quantum State

Particles can be in multiple states at the same time

Most common state for measurement is quantum spin

If apples had quantum state

They could be both red and green at the same time.

If apples had quantum state

They could be both red and green at the same time.

Quantum entanglement

Intrinsically linking two particles so that they share the same quantum state.

How to Entangle Particles

Two most common approaches.

Trapped in Diamonds

Perfect carbon lattice of Carbon are perfect for capturing electrons.

Separate and Observe



Separate and Observe

Regardless of distance, upon observation, entangled particles will ALWAYS be opposite! Faster than Light!

Spukhafte Fernwirkung

Spooky Action at a Distance

August 2015 @ Delft University of Technology

Definitively proven that quantum entanglement moves faster than light.

Quantum Teleportation

Combine entangled photons with diamond electron encapsulation.

2012 teleportation across 97km lake.

So Is it the Ansible?

FTL, instantaneous movement.

Last Laugh

Quantum entanglement is action that moves faster than the speed of light, but the information is random.
