Breaking down a decades-old test, researchers support the case of quantum mechanics

[ad_1] The researchers created entangled photon pairs and distributed the two photons of each pair at two measurement stations in opposite directions. At each measuring station, a telescope received photons from the selected cosmic radiation source, at least 11 light-years from Earth. The cosmic photon detection signals generate random bits for the measurement setting choices … Read more
