    How to teleport Schrödinger’s cat: this video presents the full quantum teleportation procedure, in which an arbitrary qubit (spin, etc) is teleported from Alice to Bob by way of a pair of particles entangled in a bell (EPR) state and the transmission of information via a classical channel.

    That was a very very accurate explanation of how quantum teleportation works! Even with the "questions" analogy. Bien jugado, Henry.
    Although I was expecting to listen something: because the teleportation can't be completly perform if the Earth's scientist doesn't tell the moon's scientist the answer of the question he asks to the original cat, *faster than light quantum teleportation is impossible*. He needs to send to the other guy that answer in the traditional way.

      The name "quantum teleportation" really screws people up. It should be called quantum entanglement transference or something. It would only have something to do with transporting people or things if their quantum state was important to their makeup. Any quantum entanglement inside people is constantly being destroyed, so the assumption that to transport a person, you need to use quantum teleportation to include all their quantum states is quite dubious.

      ehhh its a bit easier to imagine this:
      While blind folded, you push an object onto the floor. There is no sound, and you do not know if it is broken or not. The whole idea is that until you check to see if its broken, it is in a superposition state of being both broken and not broken. When you take off the blindfold, the universe kinda makes up its mind and decides on whether it is broken, or its not broken.

    • @JPHenry78
      @JPHenry78 Před 7 lety +49

      Example. you drop your phone, is the screen cracked or not. how do you find out. you look, thus collapsing the states of the screen to broken or not. hearing the screen break would be an observation causing the same results as picking it up to look does

    • @heikolindenthal6741
      @heikolindenthal6741 Před 7 lety +49

      MinezGio Not exactly. Superposition in quantum physics is a state that is completely separated from our intuitive understanding of the world around us. Imagine that: A blind man is trying to figure out the position of a candle that is somewhere located in his room. The only help he's got is a ball he can throw at the candle to tell by the sound where exactly that candle is located. However, the moment he finds out, the position of the candle has changed because he threw a ball at it. The moment we try and meassure the state of a quantum particle, it takes a certain position, even though it behaved as if it had multiple positions before we observed it.

That’s a successful video, esp. considering the otherwise generally content-void rubbish on CZcams like ‘life pranks’, ‘beauty channels’, gossip… about other CZcamsrs, the bazillion Minecraft let’s‚ plays, the idiots who spend way too much time over interpretting trailers or mere teasers of the next Game of Thrones season, etc.

    What I don't get:
    4:05 to teleport the cat to the moon, we need to get it entangled. To entangle it we need to get something already entangled on the moon. That's almost a catch 22. If I'm not mistaken, this means it's impossible to teleport somewhere we haven't been before. So we could never teleport somewhere really far away, like a neighboring Galaxy unless we went there first. Meaning we'd have to send a bunch of well-trained astronaut volunteers unrelated to another to that said Galaxy, and have them breed in space and raise/train their kids (and hope they catch on and are willing to accept their new lives and understand it's importance) and repeat that cycle until they reach the galaxy to make the observation to teleport whatever it is that will allow them to start setting up the new civilization. Oh, and the entire time, nobody can know what's in the "box" (or state of, w.e.) or else it will all be for nothing.

      To know the state you have to make a measurement by interacting with the particle. That makes it collapse. It’s teleportation of data.

    I know im a bit late to this but i can't help but point a few things out.
    1. When you mentioned what would happen to the original "CAT" once it was teleported you said it would be in a superposition with every possible three letter configuration but i don't see how that is possible since the original "CAT" was made up of the three letters c,a,t and in order to have any configuration of letters that contained letters beside c,a,t that would imply the teleportation process would have created new matter which is impossible since we know that matter cannot be created nor destroyed only change form. What would actually happen is the original "CAT" would enter a superposition of every possible configuration of those three letters c,a,t.
    2. This would imply there is a chance the original "CAT" would remain in its original configuration even if the chance of that happening is extremely low, which would mean there is a very low chance that after the original "CAT" has been "teleported" by reconfiguring matter somewhere else to reform into the "CAT", the original could end up not changing at all as if nothing had happened while the teleported version forms essentially creating an exact copy in other words a clone which earlier in the video you stated is impossible.
    3. There fore either it is possible to clone using this method or the method is impossible to begin with and this doesn't even take into consideration the moral and or philosophical implications created by using this method.
    4. This entire method is not necessary because using wormholes we can just connect two points in spacetime allowing for instant travel in other words teleportation as theorized by Einsteins theory of general relativity rendering this entire process redundant to begin with.
    If i missed any thing or am wrong about something please correct me but as far as i know everything i have stated above is correct.

You might aswell assume that every card is blank and then decideds what its going to be once you pick it up and look at it. I do believe in a sense that you can jinx something. I feel like maybe the card could have been maybe a 5 but because you asked "please be a 5, please be a 5", its going to decide well since you wanted me to be a 5 and were so demanding, im going to change myself to a 7 or what have you. 😂 so I try to keep my mind as blank as much as possible like when I want something specific like in a game or even a scratchy ticket or the odd time I have played on the pokies. Well im not a very lucky person so im not sure my blank mind thinking is working 😂.

      Plasmaboo I wouldn't go as far as saying that it completely ruins the point of teleportation. Sure, it doesn't correspond to what we commonly picture as teleportation, such as an instant travel mechanism. However this method here may be the only sort of thing to make lightspeed travel actually possible, which in itself is actually an incredible achievement opening huge possibilities (that will, alas, most likely always remain in the domain of sci-fi when it comes to transporting actual people...).

      Just quantum teleport the information. Easy.

      To be useful, it hasn't got to be able to transmit information faster than light. It makes copying the state of a quantum object possible, which can't be measured at all. (cause the moment it is measured, it collapses into one of two states, but there's no way to get the probabilities of each state, which is what quantum computers use for calculation)

      So what if we can't do faster than light? We still would be able to transmit matter at significant fractions of it thanks to communications tech. Imagine no more rockets blasting off from the surface of the planet to space, and instead they just get teleported into space directly.

    hey if we can have tangled particles does that mean we could have faster then light connection?

    Instructions unclear, created a new species named fleats.
