Quantum Entanglement Explained: Teleportation & String Theory

[semc]

hmm...i have no idea where to put this thread so let's put it here at the moment.

i came across the term Quantum Entaglement and an article regarding teleportation base on this. but i still don't quite get the idea can someone explain? btw, any site where i can read up on string theory? Thanks

Have a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_entanglement" .

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon in quantum physics where two particles become connected in such a way that the state of one particle affects the state of the other, even when they are separated by large distances. This means that if one particle's state is changed, the other particle's state will also change instantaneously, regardless of the distance between them. This strange behavior has been observed in experiments and is still not fully understood.

As for teleportation, it is a hypothetical process where the exact quantum state of an object can be transmitted from one location to another, effectively moving the object without physically traveling through the space in between. This concept is based on the principles of quantum entanglement, where the state of one particle can be instantly transferred to another particle regardless of distance.

String theory is a theoretical framework that attempts to unify all the fundamental forces of nature, including gravity, into a single theory. It suggests that the smallest building blocks of the universe are not particles, but tiny strings that vibrate at different frequencies. This theory is still being studied and is a subject of ongoing research.

If you're interested in learning more about quantum entanglement and string theory, there are many reputable sources available online such as scientific journals, books, and websites of universities and research institutions. Some good places to start might be the websites of the Institute for Quantum Computing at the University of Waterloo, or the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics.
