Quantum entanglement — what Einstein called “spooky action at a distance” — involves a peculiarly strong correlation between two particles (typically, polarized photons) such that measuring a property of one particle simultaneously … [Read full article]

Quantum Physics Breakthrough In The Remote Control Of Quantum Systems
One of the fundamental characteristics of quantum physics is that two or more particles, sometimes quite distant, can interact much more strongly than allowed by classical physics. This fundamental characteristic … [Read full article]
CERN: 'Speed of Light Exceeded' (Maybe) – Physics World Excited, but Skeptical
The news from CERN physicists that the speed of light “may have been exceeded” sent a lightning bolt of excitement and disbelief (not quite surpassing the speed of light) through the world’s physics community. Fully accepting that their results would be met with great skepticism, the same physicists are inviting other particle physicists and labs to verify — or disprove — their results, which, if validated, will overturn one of the principle tenets of modern physics: that nothing travels faster than the speed of ligh
