EdEarl Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Researchers blur the line between classical and quantum physics by connecting chaos and entanglement "It's kind of surprising because chaos is this totally classical concept—there's no idea of chaos in a quantum system," Charles Neill, a researcher in the UCSB Department of Physics and lead author of a paper that appears in Nature Physics. "Similarly, there's no concept of entanglement within classical systems. And yet it turns out that chaos and entanglement are really very strongly and clearly related.

Memammal Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 Fascinating. Meandering slightly off topic here, but it is reminiscent of so-called bio-entanglement...which has to do with a high degree of order among biological life forms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansont Posted July 13, 2016 Share Posted July 13, 2016 I'm not sure how surprising the result is that chaos is correlated with entanglement. Entanglement requires not being able to identify the state of particles I also can't parse the question "Is this a crack in the wall called The Theory of Everything?" The researches found a clever way to make an aspect of a quantum system behave classically. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
