That's some seriously cool shit!

What do you think are the possibilities of such technologies? Faster internet, for one thing of course.

I wonder if they could use entanglement to create a hologram. Since it's basically telling one photon to look like another perhaps they could project a 2D image into 3D space? Images are light are photons after all...

nice creative thinking there, not something i would have come up with

Entanglement will lead to incredibly powerful, and large, parallel processing. This is going to be the new era of the Supercomputer! Once (hopefully) the obsession with minaturisation and nanotech start paying off, we could see a desktop PC reduced to a substantially smaller size. There could even be a shift away from binary as the lowest level language: there're a lot more possible states in a photon arrangement than two.

Who knows eh? Still, exciting stuff but I don't expect to see it very soon and I want a quantum PC now.

Also, OMG TEH GRAFFIX.

That would be amazing, Mango. And if it does happen, I bet it will be in our lifetime, seeing as how fast technology is advancing nowadays.

All I want is to see partical based water that acts exactly like the real thing in my lifetime. If I get that and I can use it in the last map I make before I die, then I will die happy.

The only draw back is you can't encode anything, sorry no data on this photon.

[Mr. Happy]

...


you can't encode anything on a bit either. you USE bit's to encode data, just as qubits can be USED to encode data.


and anyway, you CAN encode something on a single photon. wavelength

Sounds very cool..I didn't read it fully, but it sounds like it still relies on line-of-sight, which would be a big problem for any real-world application.

[Mango]

It doesn't require line of sight. The great thing about entanglement is that it is instantaneous and works over any distance (when they understand it properly) - excluding things such as black holes and other crazy space stuff including, but not limited to, spaces holes. Or something. As you can tell, I'm not a physicist. I think I got a D in GCSE science.
