Entanglement on demand

Superconductors could be a rich source of electrons for quantum networks.

Zeeya Merali

Extracting entangled electrons from superconductors could help to create quantum-computing networks. It might even put the theory of quantum mechanics through one of its toughest tests yet.

  • For a complete classical explanation of the EPR phenomenon see the website Superrelativity.org.
    The answer to this and other mysteries is shown below.
    As an alternative to Quantum Theory there is a new theory that describes and explains the mysteries of physical reality. While not disrespecting the value of Quantum Mechanics as a tool to explain the role of quanta in our universe. This theory states that there is also a classical explanation for the paradoxes such as EPR and the Wave-Particle Duality. The Theory is called the Theory of Super Relativity and is located at: <a href="http://www.superrelativity.org/" title="Super Relativity">Super Relativity</a>
    This theory is a philosophical attempt to reconnect the physical universe to realism and deterministic concepts. It explains the mysterious.
