Creating Quantum Entanglement

Posted by michael on from the !tangled-web dept.

derubergeek writes "APS has a summary of a paper being published in the Dec. 30th Physics Review Letters on the possiblity of creating quantum entanglement of particles traveling at speeds less than the speed of light. They believe there may be practical applications in satellite synchronization, for example."

    is known around campus as the prof who traps ions in the basement of the physics building. Always funny to see someone from your own university quoted as an authority.

    A strong gravitational field can actually create entangled particles; those that break free of the field are called Hawking radiation. "It would be very nice if this could be turned around and Hawking radiation derived as a consequence of quantum information in curved spacetime,"

    I say, that would be nice, indeed!
