Einstein's Quantum Riddle! In Memoriam to Dr. Andy Friedman (#326)
Into the Impossible With Brian Keating
The Cosmic Bell Experiment in the Canary Islands
In January 2018, we sent polarized entangled photons through the open air to these detectors that were located near two big telescopes. We waited for a fresh random bit of information based on the color of the light from each quasar to choose how to measure the entangled particles all while they were still in flight. And this was a dramatic improvement over previous tests where the limit was only a few milliseconds before the experiment. By outsourcing the choices to the universe, again, we can't totally rule out alternative explanations distinct from quantum mechanics from explaining entanglement but we can push them into a very, very far corner in the past.
