Abstract

Since the advent of quantum physics, many experiments, theories and models helped to lay the foundationsfor the understanding of interaction between light and matter or the behavior of microscopic (subatomic)particles. However, many questions remain unanswered or at least not fully understood. One of the mostdebated topics since the last century concerns the entanglement between two or more particles. This paperwill deal with this issue and maybe give a definitive answer to this problematic.

A Review on Quantum Entanglement

R. Nishanth, Nithya shree, Om Gajanan Patil +2 more

Erwin Schrodinger first used the phrase “quantum entanglement” in 1935 to describe a mechanical phenomenon at the quantum level where two (or more) particles’ quantum states must be defined in relation to one another even if they may be geographically apart. This paradoxical event has confounded us for a very long time. Entangled particle behavior appears to be mysterious, illogical, and akin to sorcery at work. The successful and dependable principle of locality has led us to the achievements of twentieth-century physics. However, some theorists may doubt the locality itself due to the “spooky” and nonlocal effects of the local laws of quantum theory. Could there truly be an instant connection between two subatomic particles located on the extreme edges of the universe? Is there a theory that predicts such a relationship that is fundamentally faulty or lacking? Are the outcomes of the experiments that show this connection being read incorrectly? These questions challenge our most fundamental understanding of space and time. The universe is currently being disassembled by modern physics, and it will never be the same. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, quantum entanglement will have a positive impact on society. The history of quantum entanglement is outlined in this work, along with several hypotheses regarding the puzzling behavior of entangled particles. Quantum entanglement may also be an instance of nonlocality in action, in which what occurs in one location affects what occurs in another. Entanglement can also be compared to a situation in which a light switch is used to control two (or more) light bulbs, causing them to turn on at the same time when the switch is switched on. The key question is whether one of the aforementioned theories actually accounts for the odd behavior of entangled particles, in which case experimental evidence would unquestionably support the theory.

THE THEORY OF PHOTON QUANTA

Ernest Nnanyereugo Chukwuma

The purpose of this project is to create a new line of thinking among we scientists and change the way which we understand things, therefore developing new theories in physics and science in a whole which will be able to answer to disturbing questions which the universe poses. The research problem that motivates this project is actually the complexity of our universe and the numerous phenomena which unfortunately we scientists can’t still explain given the improvement in technology like the black hole, gravitational lensing of light and questions like why is the speed of light what it is (300,000km/s)? Which factors aid in making it constant? In this project, we employ the use of practical evidence, real life situations and phenomena, theoretical formulations, theories and principles which form the bedrock of physics. Documents such as; ‘The evolution of Physics: From Early concepts to Relativity and Quanta’ , ‘The world as I see it’ both by Albert Einstein, ‘Advanced level Physics’ by Nelkon & Parker, ‘New school Physics’ by Anyakoha W.. I therefore came up with the theory of photon quanta and my principle of light. I concluded that light isn’t just what we think it is but there’s more to light. There are charge carriers in light which are responsible for the numerous phenomena we fail to comprehend. I believe this new theory help we scientists in providing answers/explanations to phenomena around us and will take us a step further in understanding fully our universe and the mysterious black hole; at least we’re succeeding gathering the last pieces of the puzzle to fully understand light, matter and the whole universe. So please give me the chance to express my idea in this form and then you can comment/recommend.

Through Two Doors at Once: The Elegant Experiment That Captures the Enigma of Our Quantum Reality

Anil Ananthaswamy

The intellectual adventure story of the "double-slit" experiment, showing how a sunbeam split into two paths first challenged our understanding of light and then the nature of reality itself--and continues to almost 200 years later.Many of the greatest scientific minds have grappled with this experiment. Thomas Young devised it in the early 1800s to show that light behaves like a wave, and in doing so opposed Isaac Newton's view that light is made of particles. But then Albert Einstein showed that light comes in quanta, or particles. Quantum mechanics was born. This led to a fierce debate between Einstein and Niels Bohr over the nature of reality--subatomic bits of matter and its interaction with light--again as revealed by the double-slit experiment. Richard Feynman held that it embodies the central mystery of the quantum world. Decade after decade, hypothesis after hypothesis, scientists have returned to this ingenious experiment to help them answer deeper and deeper questions about the fabric of the universe.How can a single particle behave both like a particle and a wave? Does a particle, or indeed reality, exist before we look at it, or does looking create reality, as the textbook "Copenhagen interpretation" of quantum mechanics seems to suggest? How can particles influence each other faster than the speed of light? Is there a place where the quantum world ends and the familiar classical world of our daily lives begins, and if so, can we find it? And if there's no such place, then does the universe split into two each time a particle goes through the double-slit?Through Two Doors at Once celebrates the elegant simplicity of an iconic experiment and its profound reach. With his extraordinarily gifted eloquence, Anil Ananthaswamy travels around the world, through history and down to the smallest scales of physical reality we have yet fathomed. It is the most fantastic voyage you can take.
