Ahahahahaa Sylvia. PointedHead is so stupid unable to sense that 
"entanglement" is in fact NOT even an action at distance. LOL. Of course 
is a correlation. Teach him what a math/physics correlation is, Sylvia. 
Unbelievable this pointed-head, I suspect he must not even be an almost 
half of an engineer. Good post, I like good posts.

Certainly it is not “a hypothetical mechanism behind entanglement for which 
there is not only no evidence at all […]” as you claimed.

Anticipated correlation, pointedHead. "Predicted" is strong terminology, 
since the correlation is already embedded into the system, there is 
NOTHING necessary to predict. It is like "predicting" that tomorrow 10:00 
AM will be daylight. Is not a prediction, but a correlation consequence.

It is apparent from the context in which the phrase "nonlocal effects" 
is used, that they mean nonlocal results. They're not suggesting any 
nonlocal actions.

I come back to the same point. You seem to be assuming that 
entanglement, which has been abundantly verified, implies action at a 
distance (whether spooky, or otherwise). It doesn't. We just don't know 
how the universe achieves entanglement. Indeed, there may be nothing 
there to know - perhaps it just is.

I did not and I do not.  That is a gross misinterpretation of what I posted, 
and by now I am not sure anymore if that is not intentional.

Or maybe, just maybe, you have no clue what you are talking about and do not 
*want* to know more about it.  To spell it out for you:

Nonlocal effects are an *outcome* of quantum entanglement *only* (although, 
as it turns out, not a necessary one).  Einstein derisively called these 
effects “spooky action at a distance” because he did not believe that 
quantum entanglement was possible, especially as it could not be reconciled 
with special relativity, namely the speed of light as the maximum speed for 
the transmission of information.  (Although he helped quantum mechanics to 
start off by explaining the photoelectric effect with the assumption of 
photons – light quanta –, Einstein eventually did not believe that the 
probabilistic approach of quantum mechanics was correct [he famously said 
“The Almighty does not play dice”], and tried to find a unified theory 
without it instead, which increasily isolated him at Princeton as QM did 
have successes there.)

Since “spooky action at a distance” meant/means nothing else than “nonlocal 
effects”, albeit in a derisive fashion, “spooky action at a distance” is 
_not_ “a hypothetical mechanism behind entanglement for which there is not 
only no evidence at all […]”, different from what you claimed.

In fact, whether you want to call those observations “nonlocal effects”, or 
Einstein-derisively “spooky action at a distance”, carefully crafted 
experiments have shown them to be real.  So there is nothing “hypothetical” 
anymore about them since quite a while ago, and certainly there *is* 
evidence for them; again, different from what you claimed.

Also, they is _not_ just “a predicted correlation between measurements. 
Nothing more”; again, different from what you claimed.  There are *real* 
property changes in entangled particles (insofar as we can currently define 
reality: we do need to measure the properties which can influence the 
measurement itself), which allows for various

What's the point of "quantum bits"?

Basically it's along these lines, it's a source 
of random bits, that can be shared.  So, these 
are generated at some constant rate at a central 
emitter.  Systolically these are pumped at c 
(with loss and what probably less) so that each 
detector gets a bit and when it reads the bit, it's 
the same as the other one gets.  But, that doesn't 
advise whether the other one gets it nor does it 
advise what the other one expected it to be.  This 
is where then those bits as guiding the entropy coder 
(adjusting expectations each in what information the 
detectors send to each other) basically is no different 
than them sharing the bit that is sent at c.  

If the event is detected by B when A interferes with 
it only, then that would be "spooky action at a distance".  
But, they either both look, or don't, or the "random" bit 
found by one is no information to the other.

Can someone actually explain how "quantum entangled 
particles" or 'q-bit logic states' are supposed to convey 
information at greater than c?  No, it's not done.

The other meaning or definition of q-bit is where it 
is in superposition where then the solution is basically 
cached contingent the bit, then when the input arrives 
it as in one "clock cycle" available the result, but this 
could also be worked up in photonics and caching.

Please someone explain why "quantum cryptography" 
is supposed to work, where the ends detect the quantum 
bit or not, they always get a zero/one that is basically 
random, and basically works "after the fact" for message 
integrity checks instead of "unbreakable".

If you get going faster than 0.5c then you'll find things 
brought along with you and the destination will begin 
observe you approaching quite rapidly.  This is about 
"reducing distance" not "going faster than light speed".

(I believe in flat space-time where this "curving" space 
is more easily seeing "warp" effects as via ">0.5c" then 
for the notion of systems that "warp back and forth" in 
the carriage of "bits" of information, at effectively ">0.5c" 
to observers outside the system.)

Quantum mechanics certainly makes no such claim, and no one has ever 
seen a property change in an entangled particle.

In 1935 it was not known how to reconcile quantum entanglement with SR. TODAY it 
is well known -- QED has entanglement and is Lorentz invariant.

Note that the "speed limit" of SR applies to the transfer of energy. Note also 
that the transfer of energy is required to transfer information. And note 
further that quantum entanglement cannot be used to transfer either energy or 
information between the two measurement locations.

IOW: correlation is not causation. Quantum entanglement is correlation.

The words "action at a distance" imply causation, and so are not applicable to 
EPR-type experiments.

No. They have shown the CORRELATIONS to be real, but not the ACTION implied by 
"action at a distance". Repeat the mantra:

	CORRELATION IS NOT CAUSATION.

You are wrong, correlation between measurements is THE ONLY THING that quantum 
entanglement implies.


> There are *real*
> property changes in entangled particles

Not true [#]. You need to learn what QED _REALLY_ says about this. You have 
either read poor descriptions and/or have added your own misconceptions to them.

	Consider two particles with entangled spins separated
	to locations A and B. Each has a particle with unknown
	spin. Now A measures the spin and can immediately
	determine the results of spin measurements for both
	particles. But B still has a particle with unknown spin
	-- A knows what a measurement will yield, but B does
	not.
	NOTE: The English language does not reflect the math
	very well. Mathematically, the locations of the particles
	are represented as the positions at which the vertex
	functions for the measurements are evaluated, BUT THE
	SPIN INDICES HAVE NO ARGUMENTS (i.e. no place to put a
	location). Mathematically the two particles share a single
	spin state WHICH HAS NO LOCATION.

	Note to experts: this is (obviously) using the
	configuration space representation, not the momentum space
	representation (which is much more familiar). I am of
	course speaking rather loosely.


	[#] (Read the above paragraphs before this footnote.)
	The situation in QED is that one cannot consider the two
	particles to have individual spins. Speaking loosely:
	the measurement of A's spin "collapses the spin
	wavefunction" to conform to the result of the measurement.
	This includes restricting the result of B's measurement.
	This "collapse" transfers no energy or information from A
	to B, it merely exploits a correlation in the spin
	wavefunction that was there from the time that the
	spin-entangled state was constructed.


Note to non-experts: it OUGHT to be obvious that there is a lot going on that 
simple English descriptions do not describe very well. So do not rely on such 
descriptions -- this is a subtle situation that requires CONSIDERABLE study to 
understand.

	Note that even though I was speaking loosely above, my
	description includes a lot more caveats and conditions
	than most such descriptions. Sound bites are WOEFULLY
	INADEQUATE to capture the subtleties.


> Got it?

I do, you don't; I believe Ms. Else does.

Excellent post. Exactly what I said to that moron. Entanglement is NOT 
"spooky action at distance". I also remember you disagreed with me first 
time. LOL. It's good you are able to repair. Indirectly and implicit, but 
still, good enough.

If references to "spooky action at a distance" were just a colourful way 
of describing the observed correlations, that would be true.

But Thomas' comments continue to suggest he intends rather more than that.

My understanding is that it was Einstein's view that the principle of 
locality held, which means that correlations between two spatially 
separated physical entities could only be associated with a causal 
influence from one to the other, which by necessity would then be 
limited to the speed of light. He considered correlations between two 
separate objects WITHOUT accounting for that causal connection to be 
"spooky" and against his firmly-seated intuition.

I think the thing Einstein in the end had difficulty with is the idea 
that the two spatially separated bodies could in fact be not PHYSICALLY 
separable, and that they are rather ONE physical state. This is what 
quantum entanglement really means, as far as I can tell.

Yes; regardless, of the distance, there will be only one physical state.

Yes to all that, except that in these EPR-type experiments the "one physical 
state" applies only to the spins of the particles. The two particles can have 
completely different locations, momenta, energies, etc. But their spins share a 
common state -- when the individual particles' spins are measured, they are 
found to be correlated by their common state.

In QED and the standard model, spins are not the only aspects of particle states 
that behave this way, and momenta and energies can also be correlated (but it 
can be difficult to preserve those correlations once the particles are 
separated), as can various discrete quantum numbers (baryon number, lepton 
numbers, etc.). Think about it, and you'll realize that it is conservation laws 
that induce the correlations between particles' properties....

Nobody is surprised that when a pi0 decays the two gammas go off with equal but 
opposite momenta in its rest frame; this is, of course, a correlation that is 
quite similar to the spin correlations in EPR-type experiments. Ditto for the 
generation of particle/antiparticle pairs in certain particle decays. The 
"spookiness" of spin correlations is that they can remain even after the 
individual particles are manipulated in many ways; the non-classical behavior of 
spins adds to the mystique.

Indeed, in Nick Herbert's "Quantum Reality" he states that EPR was 
originally conceived in terms of momentum correlated electrons, with the 
modern spin correlation approach being adopted because it is both 
conceptually and experimentally simpler.

Hmmm. Based on this I went back and re-read the EPR paper. Surprise! -- it does 
not discuss quantum entanglement at all. It is concerned with the question: is 
quantum mechanics complete? To answer, it focuses on the fact that in QM one 
cannot simultaneously know the results of measurements corresponding to 
non-commuting operators. They conclude that QM is not complete.

So everywhere I mentioned "EPR-type experiments" I was wrong. I should have said 
"Bell-type experiments", because the experiments I have in mind are all testing 
the Bell inequalities using spin-correlated particles.

Say what???

"This makes the reality of P and Q dependent upon the 
process of measurement on the first system, which does 
not disturb the second system in any way.  No 
reasonable definition of reality could permit this."

That's 'quantum entanglement' in all but name, and the 
thrust of the  paper.

Because they assume that each separate part of the system 
has an independent reality.  "incomplete" means that QM 
fails to recognize these independent realities, instead 
treating the quantum state as a unified whole.  

The rebuttal to this, as given by Bohr, is:  yeah, so what?

It is not so mystifying.  Macroscopically, once objects reach infinity according to our optical instruments and measure- the ability to measure time ceases to exist.  Where is infinity?  For an unaided observer it is about fifty feet.  All of your English is microscopic.

No. Ms. Else is correct.

Yes, of course. But entanglement is CORRELATION, not "causation". There is ample 
evidence for this curious correlation, but no evidence whatsoever for any sort 
of "action at a distance".

	Yes, for a pair of entangled particles, measuring the
	entangled property of one particle immediately lets one
	know what a measurement of the same property of the other
	particle would yield. But that knowledge is HERE, not
	"there", and no transfer of information is involved (I
	measured it, I know it; you DON'T). Indeed this technique
	cannot be used to transfer any information between the two
	measurement sites. In order to verify the correlation, one
	must transfer the measurement results via OTHER MEANS.
