Microscopic wormholes and the geometry of entanglement
It has recently been suggested that Einstein– Rosen (ER) bridges can be interpreted as maximally entangled states of two black holes that form a complex Einstein– Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) pair. This relationship has been dubbed as the ER = EPR correlation. In this work, we consider the latter conjecture in the context of quadratic Palatini theory. An important result, which stems from the underlyin...
متن کاملRandomness, nonlocality, and information in entangled correlations.
It is shown that the Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen (EPR) correlations for arbitrary spin-s and the Greenberger, Horne and Zeilinger (GHZ) correlations for three particles can be described by nonlocal joint and conditional quantum probabilities. The nonlocality of these probabilities makes the Bell’s inequalities void. A description that exhibits the relation between the randomness and the nonloc...
متن کاملWormholes and Entanglement
Maldacena and Susskind have proposed a correspondence between wormholes and entanglement, dubbed ER=EPR. We study this in the context of 3d topological quantum field theory, where we show that the formation of a wormhole is the same process as creating a particle-antiparticle pair. A key feature of the ER=EPR proposal is that certain apparently entangled degrees of freedom turn out to be the sa...
متن کاملEntanglement Conservation, ER=EPR, and a New Classical Area Theorem for Wormholes
We consider the question of entanglement conservation in the context of the ER=EPR correspondence equating quantum entanglement with wormholes. In quantum mechanics, the entanglement between a system and its complement is conserved under unitary operations that act independently on each; ER=EPR suggests that an analogous statement should hold for wormholes. We accordingly prove a new area theor...
متن کاملCarbon nanotubes help pairs survive a breakup
Can measurement of one quantum system instantaneously affect the measurement outcome of another, even if the systems are spatially separated? This question has never been clearly answered for solid-state materials. Now, a new experiment by L. G. Herrmann in France, working with colleagues in France, Spain, and Germany, published in Physical Review Letters[1] demonstrates that electrons entangle...
