http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/22/quantum-entanglement-experiment-physics-einstein-spooky_n_3130888.htmlThe weird way entangled particles stay connected even when separated by large distances a phenomenon Albert Einstein called "spooky" has been confirmed once again, this time with a key loophole in the experiment eliminated.
The results from the new experiment confirm one of the wildest predictions of quantum mechanics: that a pair of "entangled" particles, once measured, can somehow instantly communicate with each other so that their states always match.
"Quantum mechanics is a wonderful theory that scientists use very successfully," said study co-author Marissa Giustina, a physicist at the University of Vienna. "But it makes some strange predictions." [How Quantum Entanglement Works (Infographic)]
But the new experiment goes further than past studies by eliminating one of the major loopholes in entanglement experiments.
