Quantum Teleportation | Physics in Depth

-

The quantum information can be sent between the two locations without traversing the physical locations between the quantum particles via Quantum teleportation . This results due to the phenomena ' quantum entanglement '. When two (or more) quantum particles are created such that it interact in a specific way, then they become dependent on each other, or are said to be ' entangled , even when they are separated from each other by long distances.

To put it in another way, the entangled quantum particles behave as if they are aware of one-another states ( or how the other quantum particle is behaving ). In case of entangled particles, when one particle's quantum state is measured and it changes state, the other particle's state will change accordingly. Einstein thought it as weird and wrong and for him it implied that the possibility of quantum entanglement mean that the quantum information could be sent from one particle to another faster than the speed of light that would violate his own rule from Special theory of relativity (STR) . According to STR, nothing with finite mass can travel faster than the speed of light because it would require infinite energy to do so. He referred entanglement as " Spooky action at a distance " , and proposed that, rather than entangled particles depending on each other, there were some properties of each particle that were " hidden " and contained the information supposed to be transmitted simultaneously .
Experiments have shown that the Einstein's explanation on entangled particles as 'spooky' lot less likely. Entangled particles really are " each other halves " that forms an interdependent quantum system where the separation does not matter.

At the end of 2019, the physicists have been able to demonstrate quantum teleportation between two computer chips for the first time. Before this, the quantum entanglement has been demonstrated experimentally with photons, neutrinos, molecules and even small diamonds. On 2017, Chinese researchers teleported a photon from Gobi desert to a satellite orbiting five hundred kilometers above the Earth. This was achieved through quantum entanglement. Chinese team created 4,000 pairs of quantum-entangled photons per second at their laboratory in Tibet and fired one of the photons from each pair in a beam of light towards a satellite called Micius. Micius has a sensitive photon receiver that can detect the quantum states of a single photons fired from the ground.

Quantum teleportation is hoped to lead to the advanced computing with the super processing powers and the next level internet in the near future.

Model Question Solution Group 'A' 1. A metre rule is used to measure the length of a piece of string in a certain experiment. It is found to be 20 cm long to the nearest millimeter. How should this result be recorded in a table of results? (a) 0.2000 m (b) 0.200 m (c) 0.20 m (d) 0.2 m Explanation: From the question, it is obvious that the least count of the metre scale is 1 mm as it measures upto the millimeter. Since, 1 mm = 0.001 m . So, result should have three significant figures. Thus, \[\begin{align*} 20 cm &= \frac{20}{100}\\ \therefore 20 cm &=0.200 \hspace{0.01cm} m\\ \end{align*}\] 2. Forces are applied to a rigid body. The forces all act in the same plane. In which diagram is the body in equilibrium? (b) Explanation: In this case, the downward force has balanced the upward force and hence the body is in equilibrium. 3. An athlete makes a long jump a...

The magnetic flux passing perpendicular to the plane of coil is given by φ = 4t 2 +5t+2 where φ is in weber and t is in second. Calculate the magnitude of instantaneous emf induced in the coil when t = 2 sec. Solution: Given, magnetic flux, φ = 4t 2 +5t+2 time, t = 2 sec induced emf, ε = ? From Faraday's law, \[\begin{align*} \epsilon& = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}\\ &=-\frac{d(4t^2+5t+2)}{dt}\\ &=-(8t+5)\\ \end{align*}\] At t = 2 sec, the induced emf is , \[\begin{align*} \epsilon&=-(8 \times 2 + 5)\\ \therefore \epsilon& = -21\hspace{0.1cm}\text{V}\\ \end{align*}\] Thus, the magnitude of induced emf is 21 V. A straight conductor of length 25 cm is moving perpendicular to its length with a uniform speed of 10 m/s making an angle of 45 0 with a uniform magnetic field of 10 T. Calcuate the emf induced across its length. Solution: Given, length, l = 25 cm = 0.25 m sp...

Electrons Introduction and background Electron is the lightest subatomic particle. It carries a charge of -1.602176634 × 10 -19 C, which is considered the fundamental or basic unit of electric charge. The mass of an electron is 9.1093837015 × 10 -19 kg which is \(\frac{1}{1836}\) times the mass of a proton (a positively charged constituent of an atom). Discovery of electrons: The discharge tube experiment played an important role in the discovery of electrons. While studying the properties of cathode rays (1897 A.D.), J.J. Thomson ( Nobel prize for Physics, 1906 ) found that the cathode rays are deflected in electric and magnetic fields which led scientists to believe that the cathode rays are made of tiny negatively charged particles. ( Note! In this chapter, we will learn how the electrons get affected by the electric and magnetic fields so you would know why scientists came in conclusion to identify the discovered particle as negatively...
