The sample space 1:100,000,000 (success:failure of ‘coincidence’) is entirely useless, and can be written off as sheer coincidence. It is mentioned that these separate ‘qbits’/atoms were held in vacuum by electromagnetic force, which in and of itself could alter the state of both atoms, and at the same time be insufficient in keeping out significant stimuli (other atoms, electrons, etc).

Useless.

“To teleport the qubit, Olmschenk’s team first linked the fates of two charged atoms of ytterbium, which were suspended in a vacuum chamber by electric fields. Zapping one of the atoms with a microwave pulse excited an electron in that atom, thus putting that electron into a mixture of two possible states. Researchers then zapped each atom with an ultrafast laser that caused each atom to emit a single photon of light. The wavelengths, or colors, of these photons depended on which states the electrons were in. Crossing these photons in a beamsplitter sometimes entwined the states of those electrons, a bizarre quantum phenomenon called entanglement.”

[sumarized: two separate atoms. one is 'excited' via microwaves. both are subjected to more EM radiation to produce (supposedly) 1 photon of light. Those two rays of light are *combined* in a crystal, and the resultant color of light is used to infer the states of the two separate atoms]

” When two particles become entangled, their separate quantum identities get blended so that a single equation represents both. So entangling the two electrons caused the original qubit — the unknown, unresolved mixture of two possible states — to become essentially shared between the two atoms. ”

The resultant beam of light is the combination in light output from both atoms. This is in no way indicative that the fates of both atoms is intertwined/entangled, but rather that because the output of light from both is combined into one ray of light, of course the *OUTPUT* is the combined result of both. The atoms themselves are not shown to be ‘entangled’ whatsoever, only the artificially combined output is contingent on them both.

“The researchers then measured the first atom, thus destroying the delicate quantum information it contained, and also destroying the entanglement. That left the original qubit intact in only the second, recipient atom, completing the teleportation.”

The entanglement never existed in the individual atoms. It existed in the artificial connection of their output. It never existed to begin with.

“While the work marks a fundamental achievement in manipulating quantum information, Eugene Polzik, a physicist at the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen, notes that the efficiency of the procedure is still too low to be useful. Currently, only about one out of every 100 million attempts results in a successful entanglement, though Olmschenk says this rate could be significantly improved.”

As already mentioned, they can’t even get their artificially self-supporting experiment to work more than 1/100,000,000 of the time. Not only does the conclusion (entanglement) not follow from the experiment, but the astronomically low success rate is not statistically important enough to suggest anything whatsoever. (save that they’re grasping at straws here, in a big way)

Last night I watched the CROP CIRCLE movie SIGNS staring Mel Gibson. Phony but enjoyable. I wonder how this movie would have turned out if it had not been for circumstances.

SIGNS was filmed in Ladner British Columbia Canada.

I had my trailer parked on Indian land leased by farmers and things were fine until one day two cops showed up to advise me that a film crew would be showing up in the corn field across the road and I should move immediately. These guys were not nice and gave me three hours to vacate. I tried to explain that I had an experiment in progress and that I would appreciate a little more time. As I said they were not nice.

I franticly prepared to move and about ten minutes early the bullies showed up and one of them walked over to were I had dismantled my telaporation experiment (this experiment was in transition and in prematurity the subject was lost).

As much as I disliked this person I was concerned that the lost subject just may have found a new host. What could I have said to this man! I did mention to several people of this area to watch for news the likes of A Strange Thing Found in Delta Officer!

Had I not been evicted I would have been in conversation with the film crew and I just know this would have turned out to be a great movie.

This teleportation does not violate causality any more than other, more direct tests of quantum mechanics do. In this case, before the quantum state can be considered teleported, the researchers have to transfer some classical information between the two ions: the result of a measurement on one ion is used to choose which of two manipulations to perform on the other. Teleportation thus requires both entanglement of the ions and transmission of classical information, so it could not go faster than the speed of light. However, even though no one has a way to transmit information using these effects, it sure seems as if “something” is moving faster than the light, as has been directly demonstrated in other experiments.
