please dont tell me next post its some new knowledge how entanglement behaves
I thought the issue in dispute wasn't entanglement, but rather whether the quantum state of the particle can be influenced. That it
can, would seem to be a fundamental prerequisite of quantum computing.
In any case, if you want to argue about these subjects, I'd suggest somewhere that specializes more on that subject. Maybe somewhere like here:
For deeper news coverage of this & other quantum computing stories, perhaps try:
Here's
their coverage of the same story, which was actually written by the same university department that submitted the paper to
Nature:
To your point about influencing the state of the qubit, they explain exactly how they do it:
By zapping the electron with a microwave field, the researchers can flip the spin up or down to assign the qubit a quantum state of 1 or 0.
Anyway, this is really a PC hardware site, at its heart. As such, most of us don't know much about quantum mechanics or quantum computing. I think most of Tom's quantum computing articles are pretty decent, but they're usually written by a different author (
Lucian Armasu), FWIW.
