Researchers demonstrate 'quantum surrealism'
> http://phys.org/news/2016-02-quantum-surrealism.html


> New research demonstrates that particles at the quantum level can in
> fact be seen as behaving something like billiard balls rolling along
> a table, and not merely as the probabilistic smears that the standard
> interpretation of quantum mechanics suggests. But there's a catch -
> the tracks the particles follow do not always behave as one would
> expect from "realistic" trajectories, but often in a fashion that has
> been termed "surrealistic."
>
> In a new version of an old experiment, CIFAR Senior Fellow Aephraim
> Steinberg (University of Toronto) and colleagues tracked the
> trajectories of photons as the particles traced a path through one of
> two slits and onto a screen. But the researchers went further, and
> observed the "nonlocal" influence of another photon that the first
> photon had been entangled with.
