Quantum physics: Entanglement hits the big time
Vlatko Vedral1
Abstract
Entanglement is a quantum phenomenon usually associated with the microscopic world. Now it is clear that its effects are also relevant on macroscopic scales, such as in the magnetic properties of some solids.
Entanglement describes a correlation between quantum mechanical systems, such as photons or atoms, that does not occur in classical, newtonian physics. Under scrutiny since the birth of quantum theory, such correlations have been used to highlight a number of apparent paradoxes at the heart of quantum physics, but their existence has nevertheless been confirmed in a number of different experiments since the beginning of the 1980s.
