The arXiv blog on MIT Technology Review recently reported a breakthrough \u2018Physicists Discover the Secret of Quantum Remote Control\u2019 [1] which led some to comment on whether this could be used as an FTL communication channel. In order to appreciate the significance of the paper on Quantum Teleportation of Dynamics [2], one should note that it has already been determined that transfer of information via a quantum tangled pair occurs *at least* 10,000 times faster than the speed of light [3]. The next big communications breakthrough?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In what could turn out to be a major breakthrough for the advancement of long-distance communications in space exploration, several problems are resolved \u2014 where if a civilization is eventually established on a star system many light years away, for example, such as on one of the recently discovered Goldilocks Zone super-Earths in the Gliese 667C star system, then communications back to people on Earth may after all be\u2026 instantaneous.<\/p>\n
However, implications do not just stop there either. As recently reported in The Register [5], researchers in Israel at the University of Jerusalem, have established that quantum tangling can be used to send data across both TIME AND SPACE [6]. Their recent paper entitled \u2018Entanglement Between Photons that have Never Coexisted\u2019 [7] describes how photon-to-photon entanglement can be used to connect with photons in their past\/future, opening up an understanding into how one may be able to engineer technology to not just communicate instantaneously across space \u2014 but across space-time.<\/p>\n
Whilst in the past many have questioned what benefits have been gained in quantum physics research and in particular large research projects such as the LHC, it would seem that the field of quantum entanglement may be one of the big pay-offs. Whist it has yet to be categorically proven that quantum entanglement can be used as a communication channel, and the majority opinion dismisses it, one can expect much activity in quantum entanglement over the next decade. It may yet spearhead the next technological revolution.<\/p>\n
