Stealing from company bank accounts could buy you time in the big house. But embezzling from the quantitative ledger may not be against the law.
In fact, a new study suggests it may be an easy way to entangle particles without messing up the math.
Earlier this century, Quantum computing Researcher Wim van Dam and physicist Patrick Hayden described a process they called hijacking tangleis named after the lightweight approach some systems can take to merge their numbers without leaving a trace.
Theoretical physicists Lauritz van Luijk, Alexander Stoutmeister, and Reinhard F. Werner and Henrik Wilming of Leibniz University Hannover in Germany identify areas that could be key players in this unusual quantum theft.
Our physical universe—in which objects have clearly defined properties such as position, momentum, and energy—emerges from an unresolved version of reality consisting of probabilities and probabilities.
Although this existence is uncertain before it is locked by analogy, the laws governing its operation are as strict as those of any casino. Interactions with additional molecules can change the odds just as easily as an additional deck of cards can change the way a game of poker is played.
Entanglement is Both are easy to use tools and frustration For any physics card counter.
If entanglement is implemented correctly, it can be used as the basis for powerful algorithms that combine the probabilities of hundreds or even thousands of quantum card games. In the form of random interventions, they can Useful quantum state transforms into meaningless chaos.
Mathematically, it is possible to show that some quantum transformations are more precise than others. One type of change is due to a state that does not appear to be disturbed, e.g. This reflection is described as a type of trigger, and allows computing operations that would not be possible in cases where the final states are changed.
While Van Dam and Heyden demonstrated that stimuli can flip any entangled state on a global scale on a whim, researchers at Leibniz University have now proven algebraically that a combination of… General relativity And quantum field theory can lead to an endless pit of stimuli.
In theory, a Relativistic quantum field They can serve as an endless source of pilferage, entangling with particles in ways that do not change their delicate state.
“Since the bank was in the same state before and after the embezzlement, this meant that no one could discover it.” Van Luijk explained to New scholars Carmela Padavec-Callahan. “It’s the perfect crime.”
For a system to become practical, the physical equivalent of the appropriate domain must be determined. Right now, stealth entanglement is more of a mathematical abstraction than a “how-to” guide for silently stealing from the universe.
However, knowing infinite levels of entanglement can occur naturally in absolute nothingness could pave the way to an entire criminal underworld of physics, where various classes of theft occur right under our noses.
This research has been accepted for publication in Physical review letters.
