Sample Book Insights:

#1 Enrique Galvez’s lab at Colgate University is about the size of a two-car garage and jam-packed with stuff. Entanglement is the best known of several types of nonlocality that modern physicists have observed, and the one that scared Einstein.

#2 The first step in teleportation is to create and distribute the entangled photons. This is done by creating a pair of entangled photons and positioning one on each side of the lab. Then, you take the photon you want to beam and let it interact with the left particle.

#3 The setup of the quantum entanglement experiment is shown in the image above. The red beams are sent to polarizing filters, which allow some photons to pass through and others to be blocked. The detectors, which are sensitive enough to pick up individual photons, pulse wildly because the slightest sliver of light will set them off.

#4 The pattern of heads and tails is always the same, no matter how many times you flip the coins. But if you flip a pair of suitably prepared quantum entangled coins, they will always land on the same side. This is a result of the coins being magic coins.
