At its simplest, entanglement describes the idea that two particles can have an intrinsic connection that persists no matter how far apart they are. The particles are ethereally coupled: measure something about one particle, such as its position, and you’ll also glean information about the position of its entangled partner; make a change to one particle and your actions will teleport a corresponding change to the other, all at speeds faster than the speed of light.
The scientists in the first experiment... placed tiny drums, each around 10 micrometers long, on a crystal chip, before supercooling them to near absolute zero. With the drums chilled, the chances of them interacting with something outside of the system was dramatically reduced, enabling the scientists to coax the drums into an entangled state, vibrating in sync as they were hit with regular pulses of microwaves.
A second team of researchers... in Finland set out to use their own quantum drum system to sidestep one of quantum physics’ strictest rules...
First introduced by the German physicist Werner Heisenberg in 1927, the principle sets a hard limit to the absolute accuracy we can obtain when measuring some of the physical properties of a particle. .. that at its smallest, most fundamental level the universe is a fuzzy and unpredictable beast, never permitting complete information about it to be known.
But the second team of researchers found a way around this. By hitting their quantum drum continuously with photons, or light particles, like they would a snare drum, the researchers were able to tune their drums into an entangled state. Then, instead of measuring each individual drum’s position and momentum, the researchers treated the entangled drums as if they were a single, combined drum, and measured the imaginary drum’s position without affecting its velocity.

Huh? I posted a video of Feynman playing the bongos.
They’re marching to the beat of a different drummer.
Proving once again that we will never know as much as we don’t know.
LOL
I thought Heisenberg was a crack cook in New Mexico?
Valid, but, I shall wait to have my mind changed! Then again, all science books should be written in pencil so that changes can be easily made.
The result that the drums acted in contrast, suggests an undiscovered law for 'balance' within entanglement. The obvious 'problem' is the force is only applied to the first drum set, and yet the second drum set resonates in response, in opposition, and at a distance.
Not entirely convinced by this experiment, though. But if entanglement is ever even remotely harnessed to processing power, um, yeah.
To understand quantum entanglement (along with many other metaphysical things) you should watch anime.

(starting around 11:50)
The girl is a genius scientist explaining QE to a layman friend. Of course to get the context, you should start with the first episode. This one is well worth it.
I was thinking of Stargate Destiny and the freaky spirit possession stones.

I forgot about those. They were a sort of quantum entanglement communication device.

yeah, banging away so fast, i wonder if he had a lil help...
pretty incredible
You can measure the position and momentum simultaneously; but the product of the uncertainties in each measurement, must be on the order of Planck's constant or greater.
Correct.
They once pulled Heisenberg over on a traffic stop.
“Sir, do you know how fast you were going?”, the cop said.
“No, but I know where I am.”
