He and colleagues mapped an entangled web of connections between each student and his or her friends.
The same method can also be used to create very general high-dimensional multipartite entangled states64 with interesting connections to Graph Theory65.
Editors' access to both material resources and opportunities is largely regulated by their relative positions in the highly complex and entangled networks of personal connections.
In these systems, as lengths of polymers or granular stress chains grow, connections become entangled and the scale over which rearrangements can occur becomes vanishingly small.
Cosmologist Sean Carroll of the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena says that it's "yet another experiment that tells us quantum mechanics is right" and that there "really is an intrinsic connection between entangled particles, not that some signal passes quickly between them when an observation is performed".
Previously, theorists had shown that if Bob and Alice move at steady near-light speed relative to each other, their particles remain entangled, although the details of the connection change.
Amid all the jostling of other atoms, a pair of entangled particles can lose their special connection so that their states become independent of each other.
Acting as a go-between, a particle such as an electron can create a strange quantum-mechanical connection between two others without getting entangled itself.
At the heart of the work is a long, affecting duet for Miriam Wolf and Michael Helland in which their fierce entangled encounters feel like a thwarted, frantic search for emotional connection.
Most of these birds and water-faring mammals are injured by some form of human connection, whether that be intentional or unintentional, often getting entangled in discarded debris, or oil spill accidents that often capture media attention when literally hundreds of species are affected by such disasters.
However, in order to make a connection to our experience it is crucial to understand the quantum state as an entangled wave function of N particles in 3 dimensional space.
