科學家首度捕捉到了量子纏結的圖像 - Engadget 中文版

" 「量子纏結」這個詞，就算不是學物理的人，應該也有聽過（很多電影裡都會出現，比如《蟻人》）。簡單來說它指的就是兩個粒子即便相隔遙遠，其中一個的狀態只要發生變化，另一個也會受到相應的影響。不過在此之前，盡管關於量子纏結的研究很多，但從未有人捕捉到過真正的圖像。而現在來自格拉斯哥大學的科學家們終於在這方面獲得了突破，他們日前設法將兩個光子互動、共享物理狀態的短暫一瞬給記錄了下來。

為了拍攝這一被稱作「貝爾纏結」的現象，研究者們打造了一套能從量子光源射出纏結光子流的系統。在過程中光子會穿過準備好的液晶材料以觸發相位改變…" https://chinese.engadget.com/2019/07/13/bell-quantum-entanglement-image-university-of-glasgow/
