Uhhhh - Fishing lines?
What pound test?

JILA and NIST Fellow James K. Thompson's team of researchers have for the first time successfully combined two of the "spookiest" features of quantum mechanics to make a better quantum sensor: entanglement between atoms and delocalization of atoms.
Einstein originally referred to entanglement as creating spooky action at a distance—the strange effect of quantum mechanics in which what happens to one atom somehow influences another atom somewhere else. Entanglement is at the heart of hoped-for quantum computers, quantum simulators and quantum sensors.
A second rather spooky aspect of quantum mechanics is delocalization, the fact that a single atom can be in more than one place at the same time. As described in their paper recently published in Nature, the Thompson group has combined the spookiness of both entanglement and delocalization to realize a matter-wave interferometer that can sense accelerations with a precision that surpasses the standard quantum limit (a limit on the accuracy of an experimental measurement at a quantum level) for the first time.

Yeah, sometimes the matrix is a little glitchy. But it's a feature, not a bug!
Amazing stuff.
We flatter ourselves thinking that we can understand the mind of God.
I bought a Lottery Ticket and I have not checked it yet to see if I have won. Until I check the ticket, the ticket exists in a state of both having Won and Lost the jackpot at the same time.

“With optimism, Thompson says, ‘By learning to harness and control all of the spookiness we already know about, maybe we can discover new spooky things about the universe that we haven’t even thought of yet.’”
What if the quantum level turns out to be really large compared to another smaller level under the quantum level?
btt

Level with me Claire, 'cause you're really starting to spook me out...
;-)
“Level with me Claire, ‘cause you’re really starting to spook me out...”
So long as I don’t entangle you, you’ll be fine, my FRiend.

Indeed - my heart seems to already be 'entangled' enough...

Especially first thing in the morning.
Your real name isn't Joe Biden, is it?
“Indeed - my heart seems to already be ‘entangled’ enough...”
You’re ok … for now. If your heart begins the delocalization process, however, you need to jiggle a couple of quantum lines so that I’ll know to help you. Or someone will know. Or something.

LOL! That’ll do!

My name is Adonis - Galt Adonis.
Do I look like Joe Biden to you?
