I love the content, thank you for taking the time to do this, Professor! I just want to call you Brian, because I've seen so many of your lectures but hesitate to do so because I have so much respect for you. I'm not a mathematician or physicist, however, I'm fascinated by these ideas. I've been following these lessons (at my own pace, of course, because I'm trying to understand and be able to do these derivations on my own. I can honestly say that if I had been inspired by you earlier in life, I would have studied physics. Regardless, I'm still grateful for all the knowledge and insight I've gained from listening to you for some time, so once again, thank you!

Help! I need a physicist!!!! But seriously, What if the interaction of two spinning particles caused a synchronization of the spin of the particles? Something that small would spin so fast that it would take another interaction or a (relatively) long time to desynch. Would that be a way that could be explained in different words? wouldn’t that have the same effect as spooky action at a distance? The interaction synchs the spin of the entangled particles so even after they’re separated their correlated. No longer spooky. Like girls who dorm together Wesley effect if the live alone after no socially dominant female or a romantic partner in theory you would know the cycle of one according to the cycle of the other. But since they’re so much smaller theres less complexity to throw off the cycles

Being an extremely huge fan of Dr. Brian, I've watched nearly every hr long episodes from varied concepts like String theory, multiverses and it gets so beautiful and interesting. Thank you for spending some time from your busy schedule just to make such beautiful interactive videos.

What Bell's theorem ruled out are Einstein's local hidden variables. What isn't ruled out is nonlocal hidden variables. In other words, showing one of the axioms (specifically Separability) in the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paper was wrong doesn't imply the paper's conclusion about the incompleteness of quantum mechanics was also wrong. Proving Einstein was wrong doesn't imply Bohr was right.

@mef9327 4 жыл бұрын

I love videos like this. Thank you. I have a couple of, probably ignorant, questions. First, what happens to the particles *_after_* you measure them? Do they spontaneously return to a “fuzzy haze” such that if you remeasure them a second time you could get the opposite result? Secondly, how do you know two particles are entangled without first measuring/observing them? Lastly, how are the particles known to be entangled then separated and moved to a different location to observe/experiment? Do scientists put them in a special box and fly one to New York and the other to California? Yes, I know the NY and CA example was just an example? But, I would assume that even in the same lab *first you have to know the particles are entangled.* Then you have to separate them some distance to verify that each is always opposite of the other and the second to be observed seemingly “decides” faster than light. This stuff is incredibly fascinating. But, I think I know how my dog feels when I try to explain algebra to him.

I have seen many videos about Entanglement and on some level at least, I do understand what is being spoken about although I couldn't give a lecture lasting more than 45 seconds on it ! What intrigues me though is the actual physical process of "entanglement", how exactly are the individual particles manipulated? I just don't see how an entangled particle could be first separated from its partner and transported to some distant spot, I know I probably sound stupid but often with me, seeing a demonstration or having the technical process spelled out are the only ways I can absorb the information I seek. Thanks Brian-and BIG BIG THANKS for the WSF!

Dear Dr. Greene, thank you for making these videos. I have a question regarding fields that I hope you could address. In QFT a particle is a wave-like perturbation on a field, the speed of a wave is determined by the media, but the speed of a particle is determined by the source. How these two are reconciled in QFT. QFT reconstructs the particle-like behavior by adding an infinite number of planar waves. However, in experiments we can have a particle traveling with any speed we like (less than c). On the other hand, it is known of waves that their speed is determined by the media on which they travel. I couldn't have a wave on the surface of a pond travel at any speed I like. The speed is determined by the characteristics of the pond. So, how these two are reconciled in QFT. Any pointers of where to find the answer are highly appreciated. Thank you very much, Juan.

Thank you for your eloquent explanation of complex physical phenomena. My question is, how do we know that the spin state of the second particle changed instantly without measuring it? The experiment carried out by Alain Aspect points to yet another scenario, namely that the change in status of the second particle, in this case the polarization of the photon, only takes place at the moment when the photon interacts with the polarizer, i.e. not when the first photon is measured , because at this moment the position of the polarizer on the other side is not even set. The setting of the second polarizer occurs randomly, so the status of the second photon therefore does not depend on the measurement of the first photon, but on the setting of the second polarizer.

the spookiness is due to the fluctuations in potential fields - that causes the probabilities to change states hence an oscillator is just humming around in its potential shell... I realised how complex potential fields are considering implications of computers... But also led me to consider how potential fields function and that is I would suggest relativistic action... Entanglement only functions where dependencies exist independence specifies just that an independent solution...

Entanglement makes you wonder if there some other field/mechanism that travels faster hen light or provide some sort of shortcut. because 'communication' between the 2 particles is instant and does not seem to depend on distance. I think it's cool we now have computers that make use of superposition and entanglement. Thank you for the equation, I was familiar with the concept since the 90`s because of my interests in computer sciences. I never seen or understood the function, now I have some sense. Haha the socks, these things make it feel a bit personal. Thank you for that! I'm making notes and actually learning something new.

I have two questions. According to the math, two entangled particles reveal their spin (or other measured property) the instant one of them is measured. Two entangled particles are in flux until particle 1 is measured spin up, then particle 2 is known to be spin down--mathematically. First question: are there any experiments that measure both entangled particles simultaneously? Question two: if particle 1 is remeasured, is particle 2 still entangled?

I always thought the spins are like electrons and must be in opposite directions to balance each other in order to lower the MO energy...but that’s only in close proximity. The entanglement theory seems to suggest that when the particles are separated in space, somehow, they still think they are together which is broken upon measurement. I wonder if that measurement is transferred by something faster than the speed of light?

@onderozenc4470 3 жыл бұрын

Quantum entanglement necessities the "locality" (in quantum dimensions) and " unity" that implies "overlap" as previewed by the quantum theory as from the beginning that can be exemplified by the overlap of the wave functions of two electrons localized in a box whose resultant wave function should be in the singlet state (S=0).

I don't agree with Einstein in regards to his work on relativity, but I do agree with him regarding this. Nothing is probabilistic or random, not even the result of a die. If you knew the exact metrics that went into throwing a die before you released it, its outcome is not probabilistic. Its result will be definite. We however, are not omniscient and are bound with limited knowledge, so we are forced to the realms of describing physics in probabilistic terms.
