or on-board a SBSP satellite

tech phy quantum entanglement nrg

  • He gives the example of a string of entangled ions oscillating back and forth in an electric field trap, a bit like Newton's balls. Measuring the state of the first ion injects energy into the system in the form of a phonon, a quantum of oscillation. Hotta says that performing the right kind of measurement on the last ion extracts this energy. Since this can be done at the speed of light (in principle), the phonon doesn't travel across the intermediate ions so there is no heating of these ions. The energy has been transmitted without traveling across the intervening space.

Sorry for the German, but there is a link to the english paper as well:

Following up on Martin's talk, I found that on the Austrian National Broadcaster website, well not really the top source for sound science news but anyway :)
