Light exists in 37 dimensions, challenging the limits of quantum mechanics
- A team of physicists has measured a pulse of light in 37 dimensions, pushing past classical expectations and challenging assumptions about the nature of reality.
- The Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger (GHZ) paradox provides a mathematical framework demonstrating that local realism cannot fully describe quantum systems. The research team amplified quantum nonlocality to an extreme, demonstrating that quantum systems could break the very foundation of classical reasoning.
- Using high-speed electro-optical modulation and time-bin encoding, the researchers precisely controlled and measured the photonic states.
- The experiment showed that the relationship between entangled particles was so deeply nonlocal, and their correlations could not be explained by any hidden variables.
- By proving that a three-context GHZ paradox can exist in a 37-dimensional space, the researchers established new constraints on the nature of quantum systems.
- Their findings suggest that quantum computing could leverage such extreme nonclassicality to achieve even greater efficiency and processing power.
- This study has major implications for quantum computing and processing.
- The study asks questions about why we humans experience reality in classical terms despite the universe behaving in deeply nonclassical ways at the quantum level.
- New experiments will likely expand beyond 37 dimensions, pushing even further into the unknown.
- The quantum world may hold even greater surprises beneath the surface.
