Spooky Quantum Entanglement Created in Everyday Objects. Quantum entanglement is one of those strange facets of quantum mechanics that produces baffling behaviors in objects at the quantum level, but isn't easy to find in our everyday world that appears to be governed by good old-fashioned classical physics.
Yet, according to quantum theory, even objects in our everyday macro-size world should have this property. And in a new study in today’s edition of the journal Science, researchers have shown that they could entangle diamond crystals, the first time entanglement has been shown in objects under real-life conditions. Quantum entanglement happens when two particles, such as photons or electrons, interact and become linked. Even when the particles are moved miles apart, the molecules’ mechanical states (such as their spin, momentum, and polarization) remain mysteriously coupled. If the state of one entangled particle is changed, its faraway twin will be instantaneously affected. Scientists excited over hints of finding the elusive Higgs boson - latimes.com. Scientists are quivering with anticipation -- flying halfway around the world for a close-up view of the action and devouring the latest updates from the blogosphere the way some girls track the doings of Justin Bieber.
