Article by John Cramer says: At the AQRTP Workshop we considered the question of whether quantum nonlocality was a possible medium for FTL communication. In the context of standard quantum mechanics there is good reason for believing that it is not. Eberhard has proved a theorem demonstrating that the outcomes of separated measurements of the same quantum system, correlated by nonlocality though they are, cannot be used for FTL observer-to-observer communication. A possible loophole in Eberhard's theorem could arise if, following the work of Nobel Laureate Steven Weinberg, one modifies conventional quantum mechanics by introducing a small non-linear element into the standard QM formalism. It has been shown that in slightly non-linear quantum mechanics, the observable nonlinear effects that would arise would make possible FTL communication through nonlocality.
The only possibility seem to be modificaiton to QM equations So fingers crossed :) adam -----Original Message----- From: Aiden Sullivan [mailto:ai...@sullivan.in] Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 2:09 PM To: Vitkovsky, Adam Cc: Ray Soucy; Tei; nanog@nanog.org Subject: Re: next-best-transport! down with ethernet! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-communication_theorem -- Aiden On Dec 30 14:00, Vitkovsky, Adam wrote: > Well hopefully we won't need to worry about the speed of light anymore > > Just recently I heard about the experiments with "quantum nonlocality" > no one seem to understand how it happens but for me it's enough it works > > Basically when 2 photons or electrons are emitted form the same source -they > are somehow bound/entangled together -that means if we change the spin on one > photon to "up" the other photon will have it's spin changed to "down" > immediately > -and it doesn't matter whether the photons are next to each other or light > years away -this happens instantly (no energy is transferred yet the > information is passed) > -this was already tested between two cities > > Imagine that instead of sfp connectors and dark fiber between San Fran and NY > node we'd install a connectors with let's say 1500k entangled photons > -and if we set the spin in a way to send a 1500kbit packet to NY the NY node > would see it instantly -no cables needed > > -also there some attempts to actually send the information 50 micro sec back > in time > > Of course there are still these issues with probabilities at quantum level > > > adam > >What we really need is a new method of sending data.
