minus-squareEcho Dot@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7·1 year agoYeah but you can’t interfere with quantum entangled particles, if you do you break the entanglement. So it isn’t usable as a method of communication.

minus-squareanotherandrew@lemmy.mixdown.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoSomething I’ve not been asked to get through my head about QE: If observing the entangled particle destroys the entanglement, doesn’t that mean we’d need “containers” of entangled particles to send a bunch of information?
