Entangled

Working with co-writers Laurence Coriat and Paul Viragh, Michael Winterbottom hits a clear, confident stride with a robustly well made, if emotionally flavourless historical drama set during the British mandate in what was then Palestine. It is a film that speaks in a complex way to the current Gaza debate, contending that Zionism has anti-colonialism and anti-imperialism in its 20th-century manifestation: a rage against the British masters. But the implication is that it learned habits of ruthlessness from these very…

The Marvels Teaser Trailer Shows Captain Marvel, Monica Rambeau & Kamala Khan… ( Photo Credit – Movie Still ) In The Marvels, Carol Danvers aka Captain Marvel has reclaimed her identity from the tyrannical Kree and taken revenge on the Supreme Intelligence. But unintended consequences see Carol shouldering the burden of a destabilized universe. When her duties send her to an anomalous wormhole linked to a Kree revolutionary, her powers become entangled with that of Jersey City super-fan Kamala Khan, aka Ms.…

Ghost imaging is a sophisticated and incredibly useful set of techniques that scientists deploy to photograph light-sensitive objects in surprisingly high resolution.By making use of a mix of quantum and classical phenomena to pull visual information from just one of a pair of entangled photons, the method can capture images where energetic rays of light or radiation risk damaging the material of interest.A new study has revealed a way of improving ghost imaging without adding much to its cost or complexity. In simple…

Researchers using an optical parametric oscillator light source succeeded in producing two entangled light beams. (Artist’s concept.)One potential application: Enhancing the sensitivity of atomic magnetometers used to measure the alpha waves emitted by the human brain.Scientists are increasingly seeking to discover more about quantum entanglement, which occurs when two or more systems are created or interact in such a manner that the quantum states of some cannot be described independently of the quantum states of the…

Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories and the Max Planck Institute have developed a way to produce a web of quantum entangled photons using a far more simple setup than usual. The key is a precisely patterned surface 100 times thinner than paper, which could replace a roomful of optical equipment.Quantum entanglement is the bizarre-sounding phenomenon where two particles can become so entwined together that manipulating one will instantly affect its partner, no matter how far apart they may be. This forms the basis…

Few things in the Universe keep the beat as reliably as an atom's pulse.Yet even the most advanced 'atomic' clocks based on variations of these quantum timekeepers lose count when pushed to their limits.Physicists have known for some time that entangling atoms can help tie particles down enough to squeeze a little more tick from every tock, yet most experiments have only been able to demonstrate this on the smallest of scales.A team of researchers from the University of Oxford in the UK have pushed that limit to a…
