What is quantum entanglement?

  1. A phenomenon where two particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle cannot be described independently of the other.

  2. A phenomenon where two particles become entangled in such a way that they share the same fate.

  3. A phenomenon where two particles become correlated in such a way that they can communicate with each other instantaneously.

  4. A phenomenon where two particles become entangled in such a way that they can be used to send information faster than the speed of light.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Quantum entanglement is a phenomenon where two particles become correlated in such a way that the state of one particle cannot be described independently of the other. This means that if you measure the state of one particle, you instantly know the state of the other particle, even if they are separated by a large distance.

What is the EPR paradox?

  1. A paradox that arises from the phenomenon of quantum entanglement.

  2. A paradox that arises from the phenomenon of wave-particle duality.

  3. A paradox that arises from the phenomenon of superposition.

  4. A paradox that arises from the phenomenon of quantum tunneling.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The EPR paradox is a paradox that arises from the phenomenon of quantum entanglement. It was first proposed by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen in 1935. The paradox is that if two particles are entangled, then measuring the state of one particle instantly reveals the state of the other particle, even if they are separated by a large distance. This seems to violate the principle of locality, which states that no information can travel faster than the speed of light.

What is the Bell test?

  1. An experiment that was designed to test the predictions of quantum mechanics.

  2. An experiment that was designed to test the predictions of general relativity.

  3. An experiment that was designed to test the predictions of special relativity.

  4. An experiment that was designed to test the predictions of string theory.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The Bell test is an experiment that was designed to test the predictions of quantum mechanics. It was first proposed by John Bell in 1964. The experiment involves measuring the correlations between the states of two entangled particles. The results of the Bell test have shown that the predictions of quantum mechanics are correct, and that the principle of locality is violated.

What are the implications of quantum entanglement for gravity?

  1. Quantum entanglement may provide a new way to understand gravity.

  2. Quantum entanglement may provide a new way to test the predictions of general relativity.

  3. Quantum entanglement may provide a new way to unify quantum mechanics and general relativity.

  4. All of the above.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Quantum entanglement may provide a new way to understand gravity, test the predictions of general relativity, and unify quantum mechanics and general relativity. Some physicists believe that quantum entanglement may be the key to a new theory of quantum gravity.

What is the most promising approach to unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity?

  1. String theory.

  2. Loop quantum gravity.

  3. Causal dynamical triangulation.

  4. Entropic gravity.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

String theory is the most promising approach to unifying quantum mechanics and general relativity. It is a theory that states that all the fundamental particles and forces in the universe are made up of tiny, vibrating strings. String theory is still under development, but it has the potential to provide a complete and unified description of the universe.

What is the most important implication of quantum entanglement for our understanding of the universe?

  1. It shows that the universe is non-local.

  2. It shows that the universe is interconnected.

  3. It shows that the universe is holographic.

  4. It shows that the universe is conscious.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The most important implication of quantum entanglement for our understanding of the universe is that it shows that the universe is non-local. This means that events in one part of the universe can instantly affect events in another part of the universe, even if they are separated by a large distance. This has profound implications for our understanding of space, time, and causality.

Spin entanglement is the most common type of quantum entanglement. It occurs when two particles are entangled in such a way that their spins are correlated. This means that if you measure the spin of one particle, you instantly know the spin of the other particle, even if they are separated by a large distance.

  2. 100 meters.

  3. 1 kilometer.

  4. 10 kilometers.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The maximum distance over which quantum entanglement has been demonstrated is 10 kilometers. This was achieved in an experiment conducted by a team of physicists at the University of Vienna in 2015. The experiment involved entangling two photons and then sending them in opposite directions. The photons were separated by a distance of 10 kilometers and were still found to be entangled when they reached their destination.

  4. Quantum computing.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Quantum cryptography is the most promising application of quantum entanglement for communication. Quantum cryptography allows two parties to communicate securely over a public channel. This is possible because quantum entanglement allows the parties to share a secret key that is known only to them. This key can then be used to encrypt and decrypt messages.
