"Elise Crull received a B Sc (Honors) in Physics & Astronomy from Calvin University, and holds an M.A. in Philosophy and Ph.D in History and Philosophy of Science from the University of Notre Dame. Before coming to City College, Dr. Crull held post-doctoral fellowships at the University of Aberdeen and at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, conducting research into the historical and philosophical foundations of quantum mechanics. In addition to history and philosophy of science, Crull frequently ponders (sometimes aloud in front of audiences) philosophical problems associated with quantum theory: the quantum-to-classical transition, quantizing gravity, understanding quantum causal models, the metaphysical nature of entanglement (including temporal entanglement!) and, as of late, interpreting the alternate quantum formalisms used in quantum computing. She also has the occasional thought about quantum cosmology. While these questions keep Prof. Crull in conversation with physicists, she also loves a good metaphysics chin-wag. Topics of special interest there include ontology, meta-ontology, and mereology. Since her research interests are fundamentally interdisciplinary, Crull often finds herself engaging with related "meta" issues, such as the ethics of emergent techno-science, science in the public sphere/ in education, and the nature of the science-theology-philosophy triad."

[@axle.student]

I usually get stomped on for suggesting that there is a certain connection that appears to exist "Across" time. I am no physicist but this seams to lend toward agency in what we loosely call time. In some sense this leaves me feeling that time is more fundamental and containing rules that are not obvious to us or are just outside of our ability to speculate on, measure or test (Maybe Time is a poor or misleading word, but I am not speaking of the measuring device or the measurement as we commonly conceive it). I have looked around and I am seeing many physicists who have and are questioning. The problem is that for now the best we can do is attempt to look at the problem from a different perspective and typically that falls into the realm of philosophy and metaphysics which are 2 taboo words in modern physics lol > Personally I suspect the missing information lays within the hidden layer of the event horizons. Event horizons and singularities appear to take us into that infinitely small moment in time which is hidden from us. Without a concept of progression or time the universe has no human meaning to us, so it becomes a difficult realm for the mind to conceptualize.

15:58-Don't we see a similar level of probability distribution across far distances in space and time at the macro level as well? Meaning, when we observe a star or galaxy here on Earth we are measuring it, so it's in a relatively fixed position. But if we were to travel to it's location to directly interact with it, would it not wildly fluctuate in speed and position on our way there? Mirroring the same pattern of behavior we see at the atomic scale?

[@Ruex-c7l]

I'm not a scientist, but i think even stars are probabilistic based on a logical thought expirement I'll share with you. If u exist at the center of a circle, the angle u need to leave the center to reach a given spot on the edge gets more presise as the circle grows. Eventually, when the circle is so big due to the limits of space time (planck length), the angle can no longer become more presice, making any path traveled to the star probabilistic, as u can no longer be certain.

QM certainly remains a set of principles but not yet a theory, even if entanglement involves space and time. Unitary evolution of Schrodinger's wave function involves much more than entanglement. It seems to involve 'error correction' mathematics or its algorithm that hides the truth.

[@robertkemper8835]

Elise, Thank you for what you do. I would take your course since the description of what you teach applies directly to my interests. I loved your enthusiasm! Another example of correlation over time comes from a version of the double slit experiment wherein a single photon or particle at a time is emitted, yet a wave pattern still forms. Q1. What does universal entanglement, should that be the case across spacetime, imply about the probabilistic nature of reality? Indeed, no one discusses how two spatially separated entities could communicate. (In the absence of any other explanations, I postulate that they do not see spacetime (a photon also does not). This possibility (somewhat outside the box - but others have questioned the existence and/or nature of spacetime) means there is no separation and no "communication" between the entangled particles. They remain two sides of the same coin. Q2. How is decoherence manifested in the double-slit experiment? Are the peaks somehow lower than they ought to be? Q3. How does relativity affect the wave function? Q4. What do you think of Donald Hoffman's work?

[@kcbill54]

Excellent discussion!

[@onemediuminmotion]

@ 18:48 Brian says "all of those interaction (petting the cat, etc.) affect the quantum description of the cat, and… those interactions suppress the very parts of the quantum probability that are at odds with our experience, which is why our experience is as it is …" All that this statement is saying, which should not be too difficult to accept as reasonable, is that the function of the "conscious" human participant in these "interactions" is, first to 'map' them with his body's intelligent 'on-board, sensory-environment mapping computer' (or "conscious brain"), and then to use that map (and likewise previously derived/constructed related maps) to direct his body's subsequent momentum routing decisions (actions), thereby affecting the probability (by increasing some and reducing others) of the specific sequence of quantum 'detection' events which (in toto) constitute those 'self-perceived behavioral (inter-)actions', and thus of the set of 'quantum particle location- manifestations' that (in toto) comprise the structure of that perception. This boils down to recognition that the human observer's "sensory [self and his actions]-awareness waveform" is this otherwise purely random quantum probability wave universe engaged in its own "intelligent" (and hopefully soon to be "more intelligent") self-design and self-construction / configuration. I propose that the _structure_ of "the material universe" that we find ourselves participants in is comprised of the 'self-relative motion' (a.k.a. "acceleration") of an otherwise structureless 'Scale-Uniform' superfluid Medium (SUM) -- Einstein's "spacetime", the 'stuff' whose otherwise featureless flow appears to "curve" with proximity to a gravitating particulate mass. The overall geometric "structure" of this otherwise structureless fluid's "pure" self-relative motion is that of a "particulate" horn toroidal fluid vortex (a.k.a. a "black hole"), which -- apparently, by some means and mechanism [intimately related to and/or involving "the speed of light"], can 'self-fractalize', and/or generate the "appearance" of doing so. So, welcome to 'The Graviton', and let's recognize our [hopefully soon to be] intelligently self-aware human societal network (HSN) as a higher order extension and expression of the 'distributed network of "momentum" (or self-relative SUM-flow) re-routing particulate I/O devices' that "It" has apparently "selected" (or de facto "settled upon" if you prefer) as the foundational architecture (and operating principle) of its "self-organizing" mechanism.

[@NorthernWhiskyJack]

Prof. Crull describes quantum phenomena beautifully. Schrodinger got it right. Entanglement isn't one of the properties of quantum mechanics, it's THE property. Instead of using decoherence to explain the suppression of quantum fluctuation in our world of macroscopic objects, maybe we should explain it with entanglement. The network of entanglements between particles in a large system makes it virtually impossible for particles to spontaneously change their state because they share their properties with all other particles in the system. The collective "state" of the proverbial cat is locked in by this network of entanglements, and the probability of superposition of living and dead states is vanishing small.

[@schmetterling4477]

Sounds cool and it's 100% wrong. Schroedinger didn't get it right. His equation is just a crude approximation of reality.

So the graph shown at 28:10 shows the interconnectedness of particles through time, while the Chinese experiment with entanglement from earth to a satellite would indicate a connection across time because of the American experiment that showed that astronauts traveling at high speed around the earth actually had a very slightly slower rate of the normal passage of time compared to that back on earth.

[@RedNomster]

Could it be that measuring extremely distant macroscopic interactions is synonymous with measuring extremely microscopic interactions? Taking an unfathomably long time to reach and interact with a macroscopic object has a similar window of probabilistic outcome for said object, just as a microscopic object like particles has a window of probability prior to measurement? It's neat to think that fast forwarding the VERY distant macroscopic journey of a measurement/interaction to a very brief moment would be analogous to a brief quantum measurement. It uses the classical world to picture the quantum world, but just like any attempt at that it breaks down with things like entanglement.

[@rwitmer22]

[@prophetofthesingularity]

This one will be fun cannot wait to watch it tonight :) In the Ender's Game books they used a device called the Ansible that could communicate across many light years. The term was first used in a novel by Ursula K. Le Guin in 1966 and some other authors also borrowed the term. In Enders Game this is how it worked (From wikipedia) It involved a fictional subatomic particle, the philote. The two quarks inside a pi meson can be separated by an arbitrary distance, while remaining connected by "philotic rays".This concept is similar to quantum teleportation due to entanglement; however, in reality, quark confinement prevents quarks from being separated by any observable distance.

[@DæmonV86]

SF so often predicts things before science gets around to discovering, proving or acknowledging them. Star Trek (somewhat) predicted the Moon landing 2.5 years before it actually took place (to be fair, he said "late '60s") One must be able to imagine a thing before it can be proven to exist.

32:40 On spontaneous Lorentz transformations: the asymmetry of time actually implies the accumulation of time, more precisely, history, variety, aging. Instead of the Copenhagen and/or multi-world interpretations of quantum mechanics, the presence of spontaneous Lorentz transformations seems to be more physical. Thus, the world itself already has many-sided (~ "multi-world") and improvisational (~"probabilistic") properties. P.S. 0. "Indeed, it is clear that we cannot report the translational motion of the entire universe and check whether this motion affects the course of any processes. The principle of relativity therefore has heuristic and physical meanings only if it is valid for any closed system. However, the question arises, when can a system be considered closed? Is the remoteness of all the masses outside the considered system sufficient for this? The answer, according to experience, says that in the case of uniform and rectilinear motion, this is enough, but for other movements it is not enough. Summarizing, we can say that the postulate of relativity includes the statement that the uniform and rectilinear motion of the "center of gravity" of the Universe relative to some closed system does not affect the processes in this system." (Pauli, RT). 1. Obviously, the opposite is true for an expanding universe. Apparently, the researcher can detect and measure the effect of the aging process in his own frame of reference caused by the phenomenon of global time t(universe)=1/H: ds^ 2=c^2dт^2=g(00)c^ 2dt^2=(1-Ht*)c^2dt^2, where the parameter Ht* it shows how much of the global time has "passed" in its own frame of reference, t* is the measurement time according to the clock of the resting observer, t is the duration of any physical process in its own frame of reference relative to the clock. 2.The observer can measure the increase in the duration of the processes in the laboratory frame of reference: dт=[√ g(00)]dt=[√(1-Ht*)]dt~(1-Ht*)dt

26:18 The "they are not talking to each other" is as much a philosophical stance because it allows you to say that there is no communication. But I am not so sure. Instead of "talking" to each other we reduce it to a "corroboration" - but we are just playing with words. What if, despite the fact that we don't want it to be, that information is being transmitted, then our view of time and space is far from complete and we still have not solved what "reality" really is, except it allows us to "be." Are we subservient to a system that we are yet to figure out. Is space folded back on itself, is infinity only a concept inside the human mind and that distance is another illusion as to the question about space and time; how can space be defined as nothing and yet have a characteristic that can be curved in the presence of matter. How can nothing be curved at all? But if it can, then why can distance not also be manipulated when we are observing and measuring entangled particles?

Then in some transformed geometric sense you could end up with particles that are closer together or overlapping and would no longer have nonlocality from a non-Euclidean perspective. I mean I'm not a mathematican, but seems plausible?

[@VincentBlouin]

Could it be that what we perceive as probabilistic properties of the quantum world be in reality the result of complex relations or entanglement with other particles ? In that senses if we could know of all the past or distant network of entanglement with other particles we could deduct the next position of an electron or whatever properties we identfy now as probabilistic ?

How does a beam splitter make a pair of entangled photons or do the apparatus's single out two that appear to be entangled?

[@nicholaswilliam9288]

I have a question. This maybe, because I am still learning. Has it been considered that our instruments are not advanced enough to make a proper detection of a particles position? Or, that the particles movement is too extreme to make a proper detection. Therefore, making the "observer effect" an equipment issue ? I read all these papers and picture these particles vibrating at a rate to extreme to detect. I ask this in all humility.Any response would be appreciated.

[@quantumfluxdna]

If you are really interested in understanding the position of particles or any other seemingly immeasurable or illogical particle behaviour then I recommend removing time from the equation and replace it with length. Using maths and classic physics you can define a single quanta of parameterized space which can be searched over to discover and isolate whatever you are wanting to learn more about using tools or hardware that can measure everything from photons to phonon wave forms to natural forces. These existed 14 billion years ago and are in the world you live in right now. They are natural and real and exist whether or not they have been observed. The lady on stage should maybe learn physics as she seems a little confused

[@schmetterling4477]

The problem here is that there are no particles. There are only quanta of energy. We teach this in high school, but absolutely nobody seems to be paying any attention. Then people go online and are being bombarded with the particle nonsense. Whatever nonsense they hear on the internet immediately overwrites their correct high school knowledge and that's why millions of folks like you are asking the same nonsensical question over and over again. ;-)

[@brian554xx]

My intuition on many worlds is that it resembles the picture I get when I try to imagine multiple time dimensions intersecting. Can someone with more skill than I have try thinking about the possible relationship between probability and orthogonal time?

[@richardchapman1592]

In the two slit experiment the particles must experience a transverse randomisation effect of some kind. Maybe that is on the electromagnetic sinusoidal part of the particle perpendicular to the direction of its emission or some other unknown aspect of nature applicable at Planck lengths. This may sound like an hidden variables argument disputed by Bell but if entanglement exists in macroscopic space, then the influences on particles may be due to external variations interacting on matching internal ones over measurable distance.

[@asjordan0yt]

One thing I saw as missing is discussion of the axis about which spin is measured. I think, or my understanding is, that such spin is inherently aligned (up or down) with an axis of random choice. As such, it seems that spin is occurring about any and all axes simultaneously until measured. To me, that's not trivial. Doesn't this arise from the Stern-Gerlach experiment? How wrong am I?

[@8RBrain]

Ok so 26:03 call right (blue) particle A and left (red) particle B. what about particles C,D,E,F,.......Is A entangled with just B or is A entangled with every particle in the universe along with B. If that is the case, then A would have opposite spin with every other in the universe, but B cannot be entangled with opposite spin with all the other particles because it is already entangled with A and C.D.E.F......... THUS, at the "instance" of measuring if A and B have opposite spin and A has opposite spin with C,D,E,F,........ then B cannot have opposite spin with C,D,E,F,........ at the same time.

Thee question of whether the quantum-mechanical description of physical reality can be considered complete has been a subject of significant debate and discussion in the field of physics. This debate was sparked by a 1935 paper by Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky, and Nathan Rosen (EPR), which questioned the completeness of quantum mechanics and argued for the existence of "elements of reality" that were not part of quantum theory. In their paper, EPR argued that the description of physical reality provided by quantum mechanics is incomplete and speculated that it should be possible to construct a theory containing hidden variables that would provide a more complete description of physical reality They proposed a criterion of physical reality, stating that in a complete theory, there should be an element corresponding to each element of reality, and a physical quantity should be predictable with certainty without disturbing the system . However, the debate surrounding this issue has continued, with various perspectives and interpretations being put forward. Some have argued that the quantum-mechanical description of physical phenomena fulfills all rational demands of completeness within its scope, particularly when viewed from the perspective of complementarity . The EPR paradox and its implications have been the subject of extensive analysis and debate, with important implications for the interpretation of quantum mechanics. The debate has also involved significant exchanges between Einstein and Niels Bohr concerning the completeness and locality of quantum mechanics . In summary, the question of whether the quantum-mechanical description of physical reality can be considered complete remains a topic of ongoing discussion and debate within the field of physics, with various perspectives and interpretations being put forward.

I like the dart board bit. If the board were swinging on it's nail and the dart were moving in a straight line; it's eventual position on the board would be a probability, like a wave function. But if the frequency of the board and speed of the dart were at the speed of light then they would inevitably meet. There would be a simultaneity.

Your own chart indicates that particle 1, existed in T3, and therefore was able to convey or transfer information to particle 2, in T3 which in turn conveyed to particle 3 and thus to particle 4. There was no disconnection.

[@andrewj22]

Isn't this experiment an argument against the Copenhagen interpretation? If the wave function has collapsed before the 2nd particle is introduced, then how can the new entanglement happen? You need a wave function for entanglement to occur. Furthermore, this implies that a particle which is entangled with another particle whose property has already been measured is, in one sense, still wavelike, but also has a predetemined specific property value (as opposed to that property existing as a broader probability distribution). It suggests that the probability wave isn't fundamental, no?

The thing about entanglement is there were some thoughts that it was like a pair of gloves. If at the end if a party I go home with one glove and my friend accidentally took the other.... if I have the left hand glove I immediately know he has the right hand glove. These properties were known to exist before the so called entanglement of two gloves...this quality is always entangled for the pair.... but its pre-existing...of course if I measure left i immediately know you measure right. But an experiment by a guy named Bell in the 1960s showed statistically that the entanglement qualities we measure are not pre existing like a pair of gloves. More than this is cannot explain but its been shown entanglement is not a pre-existing quality but really is only determined when measured.

A very ancient indian thought in scriptures is about variable speed of time in different 'lokas' or 'realms'; It is interesting that those Indian texts are talking about these concepts much earlier than anything came out from western sciences about these topics. Also various celestial objects and their resident devas are said to have widely different scales of time based upon variable gravity of each. So it is not about only gravity bends space, gravity also slows time. One outcome of this concept is:- duration of a day on earth for humans [with our life span] is very different to a day for a moth's lifespan. Similarly a day of 'Brahma' is billions of years in human scale. Thus it is plausible that what we call as the uncertainty principle [for example of a particle] of being in this state or the other, is that, the particle in its time scale was in a particular definitive state, and in cyclical universe, was subsequently in a different state. But with our time scale, we see the particle as flicking speedily and thus following uncertainty principle in our time scale. Expand this thought, and for 'Brahma' the virtual game of humans [with very tiny time scales compared to Brahma's scale] is also akin to what the uncertainty of a quantum particle is to humans. I think it will be good idea to read ancient Indian scriptures with scientific curiosity. We might be sitting on a goldmine and not know about it!

[@quantum4everyone]

Thanks for the nice video. But, I would not call that experiment as being entanglement in time. Entanglement involves a superposition of states that cannot be factorized and I do not see what states are entangled at different times in that experiment due to the measurements. The best example of entanglement in time is the Franson interferometer. One has two photons created at the same time by down conversion and sent each along a path to the left and to the right that each go through a 50-50 beam splitter that delays the photon or lets it go straight through. Then you detect each photon and see did the left come before the right, the right before the left, or both at the same time. For the ones not at the same time, there is only one way they occur, so the probability is a constant. But for the ones that go on the long long or short short options, they form a superposition and interfere. By changing the phase of one of the photons, on either path, you can get the coincidence to go from 0 to a maximal value. This is true entanglement in time, as we have a superposition of two pulses at physically different times, but they interfere simply because we do not know when they were created. Truly mind bowing in my view. And of course the big question is what happens to probability conservation if the coincidences can have varying probability. Think carefully and you can sort that out as well.

[@rudihoffman2817]

[@michaelgermanovsky1793]

A good example of quantum entanglement in real world is our last names. We cannot describe someone completely or define their state without knowing their last name. Therefore, we, the children of our parents, are defined by our parents - an entanglement that exists across time, regardless of the existence of one or the other in their frame of reference. What is interesting is that the entanglement can be adopted by a completely strange person, not related to the individual, because each of us can have more then one entanglement. During our self-measurement state, we can choose who to entangle with; And the extent of the entanglement is such that it changes our DNA, our composition and make up.

[@SandipChitale]

Note that in a double slit experiment individual electron do form 1 dot on the screen. It is that only when many many many electrons go thru the slits, potentially with a gap of even a day between each electron passage, that collection of dots forms a banded pattern which scientists calls interference pattern. However, in a classical, water wave the interference pattern forms at the same instant in time. But like I described above the banded pattern can form over 10 thousand days formed from the dots of 10 thousand electrons passing one electron per day for 10 thousand days. So why should we think that the electron interfered with itself. It did not. So I do not think the language describing the DSE is formulated correctly.

[@Joely7]

The existence of the bands where none hit the screen show that the individual photons do interfere with themselves. Yes each one forms a single dot, and the bands only appear after many single photons are sent, but none of them land in the interference zone. If they are being sent one at a time, what causes the interference pattern that affects every single one sent? They have to be interfering with themselves, otherwise over the large sample the bands would not exist. The interference does occur in real time, but rather than showing the whole pattern with each particle, instead the pattern is revealed because none of the dots can end up in the areas where the interference occurs.

[@luisp.neumann4825]

Just curious, isn't entanglement proof of higher dimension? I postulate that the information is actually travelling on or is connected via a different plane or higher dimension beyond our accessible 3-dimensional space, perhaps the higher dimensions begin to manifest at smaller and smaller scales of our 3D universe.
