Monitoring, controlling and healing people with quantum entanglement and quantum computers | |
Okay, I looked on google and Halfbakery and I'm very surprised (worried) that this does not have more attention.
Lets say we can quantum entangle two particles and some how make it last indefinitely... one could quantum entangle everything someone eats, breathes, and drinks.
Then if one could monitor
the bodily processes of a human being could one also control these processes.
This could be more profound/dangerous than the A bomb.
Maybe Aliens use quantum entanglement beams rather than tractor/antigravity beans in the movies lol

...Quantum entanglement doesn't work that way.
You can't actually transmit ANY useful information with quantum entanglement. I could explain why, if you want to know. |
|
| |
that spelling is definitely entangled. |
|
| |
Okay, so here's how quantum entanglement works, and why it can't ever be used to tell you anything useful. |
|
| |
So, imagine you have a machine that randomly drops balls into two closed boxes. One of the balls is red, the other is blue. As long as you don't open the box, they are neither red nor blue. You go a mile away, and then open your box- and you see that your ball is red. Instantly, you know that the other ball is blue. That's basically quantum entanglement. The balls aren't magically connected via quantum telepathy or whatever- one's just in one state, and the other is in the other state. |
|
| |
You'll have to ask Wigner's Friend about that. |
|
| |
Yes, [Hivemind], but what if the person with the other box was sneaky? What of they inserted an airbrish nozzle into their box and _without_looking_ spray-painted their ball red. What then eh? eh? Qauntum that if you dare! |
|
| |
...Then the other ball stays the exact same color it always was. They're not connected via Magical Entanglement Telepathy or anything. |
|

//The balls aren't magically connected via quantum telepathy or whatever- one's just in one state, and the other is in the other state// |

For quantum particles, this isn't correct. There is spooky action at a distance. Look up quantum eraser, as one example. And the delayed choice quantum eraser is even more interesting. |
|
| |
Marvellous. For all that gigantic investment in technology, you can convey one bit of information (subject, as always, to the Uncertainty Principle). |

Have you heard of the Law of Diminishing Returns ? |

if bad juju isn't a mfd category it should be, along
with "leads to hives" and "device would, once
activated, accidentally destroy the world." |
