Forscher der University of Waterloo und der Universität Innsbruck haben erstmals drei miteinander verschränkte Photonen unabhängig von einander gemessen. Die in der Zeitschrift Nature Photonics veröffentlichten Ergebnisse bestätigen eindrucksvoll die Theorie der Quantenverschränkung.

Quantenphysik zeichnet sich durch einige für den Laien schwer verständliche Eigenschaften aus. So geht die klassische Physik davon aus, dass Vorgänge nur Auswirkungen auf ihre direkte räumliche Umgebung haben. Die in der Quantenmechanik formulierte Möglichkeit, dass verschränkte Teilchen auch über weite Distanzen hinweg stark miteinander verbunden sein können, veranlasste Albert Einstein einmal dazu, von einer „spukhaften Fernwirkung“ zu sprechen. Bis heute suchen deshalb Zweifler nach möglichen verborgenen Eigenschaften, die die Quantenmechanik doch den Gesetzen der klassischen Physik unterordnen. Diese Bemühungen erfahren nun erneut einen Rückschlag. Mit der örtlich unabhängigen Messung von drei miteinander verschränkten Photonen bestätigen Physiker um Gregor Weihs vom Institut für Experimentalphysik der Universität Innsbruck sowie Thomas Jenewein und Kevin Resch vom Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) der University of Waterloo in Kanada eindrucksvoll die Richtigkeit der Quantenmechanik.

Almost one in 10 people will someday experience a kidney stone, which creates what is described as the most intense pain imaginable. This increasingly common condition leads to hundreds of thousands of surgeries in the United States each year.

A new device developed at the University of Washington would let doctors use ultrasound to move kidney stones inside the body and help them pass by natural means. (more…)

Astronomers Test Einstein in a New Regime Using Pair of Burnt-Out Stars

AUSTIN, Texas — A team of astronomers led by researchers from The University of Texas at Austin has confirmed the emission of gravitational waves from the second-strongest known source in our galaxy by studying the shrinking orbital period of a unique pair of burnt-out stars. Their observations tested Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity in a new regime. The results will be published soon in The Astrophysical Journal Letters.

Last year, the same team discovered that the two white dwarf stars are so close together that they make a complete orbit in less than 13 minutes, and they should be gradually slipping closer. The system, called SDSS J065133.338+284423.37 (J0651 for short), contains two white dwarf stars, which are the remnant cores of stars like our sun. (more…)

U.S. Citizenship May Be Determined At Random

EAST LANSING, Mich. — The fate of nearly half a million immigrants hoping for U.S. citizenship may have been determined randomly, at least in part, according to a new study by a Michigan State University researcher who found the high-stakes civics test isn’t a reliable measure of civics knowledge.

To be awarded citizenship, immigrants must correctly answer six of 10 questions on the verbally administered civics portion of the U.S. Naturalization Test, said Paula Winke, assistant professor of second language studies. (more…)
