Entanglement

Working on my artwork...the piece I will call Entanglement. I search the web and read up some more on the subject from all sorts of articles.Hours pass. There is a new book I would like to find and read on the subject as well.Anyhoo, here are some snippets:
From Library Journal:
"Entanglement" is one of the more remarkable aspects of quantum mechanics, a field that has produced a number of counterintuitive phenomena. Entangled particles are created in the same process and retain a connection even if they become far separated physically. If a change is later imposed on one of these particles, then there instantaneously occurs a change with its entangled partner, even if that partner is very far away in another part of the universe. Thus, the news of the change is transmitted with infinite velocity by an unknown means. Einstein aptly referred to this phenomenon as "spooky." In recent decades, researchers have shown entanglement to be a physical fact, thereby vindicating quantum mechanics, spooky though it may be.

From Scientific American:
Trillions Entwined
Clouds of Atoms Are Linked By A Weird Quantum Yoke(avaD's note: ha. that should be the descriptive subtitle to my artwork)
By Graham P. Collins

"....Entanglement, long just a controversial plaything for theorists, is the weird phenomenon whereby the quantum states of two or more objects become intrinsically entwined in a partnership that in theory would remain unbroken across a distance of light-years. Previously achieved with only a few particles at a time, this marvel has now been demonstrated with two golfball-size clouds of cesium containing trillions of atoms. Eugene S. Polzik and his co-workers at the University of Ã…rhus in Denmark entangled the cesium clouds by shooting laser pulses through them. The process will enable robust new ways to teleport quantum states and store information in quantum memories, an essential element of the emerging technology of quantum computation."

thank you.....

thank you so much for introducing me to this concept. it seems to be a synchronous theme in my life right now. a few connections occured to me while journaling and i was moved to do more research and then i found out a friend of mine is writing a paper on this right now.

:)

i also enjoyed your entry about your own art and coming to abstract art. i am exploring more abstract forms in ideas for some new pieces i am working on. i recently saw a show in minneapolis that really moved me and thus have been re-thinking the styles and methods that i normally work with.

i'm so glad you are on live journal. you inspired me on opendiary and continue to. :)

wow! that IS synchronous!(a friend is writing a paper on it!) I'd love to read it when done, if poss? just a thought. I found three books on the subject that I will try to check out after my shows are up:Entanglement by Amir D.Aczei, Faster Than Light- by Nick Herbert,PH.D, and The Non-Local Universe by Robert Nadeau and Menas Kafatos. thanks for your sweetness.:)
much love,D
