Analysis of Possible Nonlocal Effects in Laser Beams Generated by Piezoelectric Ceramic

Abstract

We report in the present work a novel effect associated with deviations of laser beams when in the surroundings there is a piezoelectric ceramic subjected to high voltages. In our previous work we presented experimental evidences of the generation of forces at distance by piezoelectric materials. Hence a methodology for remote sensing and metrology which enhanced the weak effects of the property of generalized quantum entanglement was proposed. The preexisting state between all existing particles in physical systems can allow that piezoelectric ceramics induct forces at distance detected by a sensible accelerometer apart without involving any known local interaction such as those of acoustic or electromagnetic nature. Motivated by the results, we proceed and discover that new unprecedented visual effects arise when nonlocal forces generated by a piezoelectric ceramic change the laser beam profiles even considering its weakness. This novel effect seems to be really detected in our experiments and this achievement opens one opportunity more for developing new technological applications.

Detection of preexisting quantum entanglements between dipole–photon discrete observables

Elio B. Porcelli, Omar R. Alves, Victo S. Filho

Abstract We performed measurements of laser beam power polarized in different angles as 0 $$^\circ $$ ∘ , 45 $$^\circ $$ ∘ and 90 $$^\circ $$ ∘ passing close to a symmetric shielded capacitor with parallel plates and through a polaroid filter configured with angles as 0 $$^\circ $$ ∘ , 45 $$^\circ $$ ∘ and 90 $$^\circ $$ ∘ . An unusual light power variation was detected during the charging and discharging of the high voltage capacitor even considering the suppression of known electromagnetic interaction between laser beam and capacitor. The light power variation curves also indicated a typical pattern of charge and discharge of capacitors. The combination of the angles of the laser beam polarization and polaroid filter surprisingly indicated the measurement of correlations between the polarizations of photons and electric dipoles of the capacitor dielectric. These novel results can only be explained supposing the preexisting condition of quantum entanglements between discrete observables of electric dipoles and photons.

A noise inequality for classical forces

Dvir Kafri, Jacob M. Taylor

Lorentz invariance requires local interactions, with force laws such as the Coulomb interaction arising via virtual exchange of force carriers such as photons. Many have considered the possibility that, at long distances or large mass scales, this process changes in some way to lead to classical behavior. Here we hypothesize that classical behavior could be due to an inability of some force carriers to convey entanglement, a characteristic measure of nonlocal, quantum behavior. We then prove that there exists a local test that allows one to verify entanglement generation, falsifying our hypothesis. Crucially, we show that noise measurements can directly verify entanglement generation. This provides a step forward for a wide variety of experimental systems where traditional entanglement tests are challenging, including entanglement generation by gravity alone between macroscopic torsional oscillators.

Generation of entangled photon holes using quantum interference

T. B. Pittman, J. D. Franson

In addition to photon pairs entangled in polarization or other variables, quantum mechanics also allows optical beams that are entangled through the absence of the photons themselves. These correlated absences, or ``entangled photon holes,'' can lead to counterintuitive nonlocal effects analogous to those of the more familiar entangled photon pairs. Here we report an experimental observation of photon holes generated using quantum interference effects to suppress the probability that two photons in a weak laser pulse will separate at an optical beam splitter.

Quantum Phase Transition

George Rajna

New research conducted at the University of Chicago has confirmed a decades-old theory describing the dynamics of continuous phase transitions. [21] No matter whether it is acoustic waves, quantum matter waves or optical waves of a laser—all kinds of waves can be in different states of oscillation, corresponding to different frequencies. Calculating these frequencies is part of the tools of the trade in theoretical physics. Recently, however, a special class of systems has caught the attention of the scientific community, forcing physicists to abandon well-established rules. [20] Until quite recently, creating a hologram of a single photon was believed to be impossible due to fundamental laws of physics. However, scientists at the Faculty of Physics, University of Warsaw, have successfully applied concepts of classical holography to the world of quantum phenomena. A new measurement technique has enabled them to register the first-ever hologram of a single light particle, thereby shedding new light on the foundations of quantum mechanics. [19] A combined team of researchers from Columbia University in the U.S. and the University of Warsaw in Poland has found that there appear to be flaws in traditional theory that describe how photodissociation works. [18] Ultra-peripheral collisions of lead nuclei at the LHC accelerator can lead to elastic collisions of photons with photons. [17] Physicists from Trinity College Dublin's School of Physics and the CRANN Institute, Trinity College, have discovered a new form of light, which will impact our understanding of the fundamental nature of light. [16] Light from an optical fiber illuminates the metasurface, is scattered in four different directions, and the intensities are measured by the four detectors. From this measurement the state of polarization of light is detected. [15] Converting a single photon from one color, or frequency, to another is an essential tool in quantum communication, which harnesses the subtle correlations between the subatomic properties of photons (particles of light) to securely store and transmit information. Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have now developed a miniaturized version of a frequency converter, using technology similar to that used to make computer chips. [14] Harnessing the power of the sun and creating light-harvesting or light-sensing devices requires a material that both absorbs light efficiently and converts the energy to highly mobile electrical current. Finding the ideal mix of properties in a single material is a challenge, so scientists have been experimenting with ways to combine different materials to create hybrids with enhanced features. [13] Condensed-matter physicists often turn to particle-like entities called quasiparticles—such as excitons, plasmons, magnons—to explain complex phenomena. Now Gil Refael from the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena and colleagues report the theoretical concept of the topological polarition, or “topolariton”: a hybrid half-light, half-matter quasiparticle that has special topological properties and might be used in devices to transport light in one direction. [12] Solitons are localized wave disturbances that propagate without changing shape, a result of a nonlinear interaction that compensates for wave packet dispersion. Individual solitons may collide, but a defining feature is that they pass through one another and emerge from the collision unaltered in shape, amplitude, or velocity, but with a new trajectory reflecting a discontinuous jump. Working with colleagues at the Harvard-MIT Center for Ultracold Atoms, a group led by Harvard Professor of Physics Mikhail Lukin and MIT Professor of Physics Vladan Vuletic have managed to coax photons into binding together to form molecules – a state of matter that, until recently, had been purely theoretical. The work is described in a September 25 paper in Nature. New ideas for interactions and particles: This paper examines the possibility to origin the Spontaneously Broken Symmetries from the Planck Distribution Law. This way we get a Unification of the Strong, Electromagnetic, and Weak Interactions from the interference occurrences of oscillators. Understanding that the relativistic mass change is the result of the magnetic induction we arrive to the conclusion that the Gravitational Force is also based on the electromagnetic forces, getting a Unified Relativistic Quantum Theory of all 4 Interactions.

Nonlocal interferometry with high-intensity fields

J. D. Franson

Two-photon interferometry can produce violations of Bell's inequality that demonstrate the nonlocal nature of such effects. It is shown here that high-intensity fields containing large numbers of photons can violate Bell's inequality in a similar manner. The macroscopic nature of these fields is evident from the fact that they can produce large bursts of energy in two distant absorbers with nonlocal correlations between the two.

Gravitational and Experimental Electromagnetic Contributions to Cerebral Effects upon Deviations from Random Number Variations Generated by Electron Tunneling

Joey M. Caswell, Mark W.G. Collins, David A. E. Vares +2 more

New theoretical and traditional quantitative solutions involving a pervasive unit quantum of ~10-20 J within biological and large-scale physical systems predicted that the mass of the human subject, subtle changes in gravitational phenomena, and the energy available within the cerebral volume should affect proximal random number variations produced by electron tunneling. In a series of experiments application of a specific, physiologically-patterned weak magnetic field over the right temporal lobe significantly enhanced the effects of intention upon deviations from random variations created by electron tunneling devices at a distance of 1 m. These variations were strongly (r~0.80) correlated with the coupling between the forces from the background free oscillations of the earth and the energy differences across the cell width between lunar perigee and apogee. The results support the approach that complex cognitive processes including “intention” can be described by physicochemical parameters and their magnitude of energies are within the range by which interactions or modulations from subtle gravitational forces applied across the cellular membrane and width might occur.
