New Micro-Ring Resonator Creates Quantum Entanglement On a Silicon Chip

Zothecula writes: The quantum entanglement of particles, such as photons, is a prerequisite for the new and future technologies of quantum computing, telecommunications, and cyber security. Real-world applications that take advantage of this technology, however, will not be fully realized until devices that produce such quantum states leave the realms of the laboratory and are made both small and energy efficient enough to be embedded in electronic equipment. In this vein, European scientists (abstract) have created and installed a tiny "ring-resonator" on a microchip that is claimed to produce copious numbers of entangled photons while using very little power to do so.

Re:removing the speed of light barrier

Entanglement communicates state by some mechanism that has no measurable latency.

The two wave forms are entangled below the plank layer, thus being outside of standard space time you see no measurable latency.

Maybe we need to coin a phrase for this area blow the plank layer and outside space time. I say we call it subspace, seems to fit. :P

Re:Hmmm ....

f all the stories and thing said about quantum computers, especially with the amount of poorly written stuff out there, that is the sentence you highlight when talking about gibberish?

LOL ... honestly, it's as good as any as far as I'm concerned.

It sounds like something out of a mission statement generator ... we've created light with minty and peaty overtones, which exemplify the highest moral standard.

I simply have no idea of WTF it's telling me.
