Are we able to observe other particles without the use of photons? Are we able to harness electrons or positrons to do this?
I ask because of quantum entanglement. Creating a use out of quantum entanglement seems to rely on observing one of the particles and thus either getting its spin or location, but not both. Are we able to observe that particle without the use of a photon to get all the information?
Is it plausible to be able to use other means to make that observation? Is it possible to harness quarks or gluons? If that is not within our ability today, is it a possibility?
Am I completely and utter off base with these questions? I will be the first to acknowledge my complete and utter lack of understanding physics, but I do have a keen interest in it in general.
So am I way off base, or do these things already exist and I am not googling the right things?
Thanks :)
