Space Station May Test 'Spooky' Entanglement Over Largest Distance Yet

“Spooky” quantum entanglement connects two particles so that actions performed on one reflect on the other. Now, scientists propose testing entanglement over the greatest distance yet via an experiment on the International Space Station. Until now, entanglement has been established on relatively small scales in labs on Earth Continue reading
