One of the strangest features of quantum mechanics is also potentially the most useful: entanglement. By harnessing the ability of two particles to be intimately bonded over great distances, researchers are working to create technologies that even Einstein couldn't imagine, from quantum computers capable of running millions of calculations in parallel to new forms of cryptography that may prove impossible to achieve. crack. Join us to explore the coming era of quantum technology, which promises to bring a much deeper understanding of fundamental physics.
