Earth’s rotation measured 1000x better with quantum entanglement

Posted by in category: quantum physics

Researchers at the University of Vienna led by Philip Walther just pioneered the field of quantum mechanics and general relativity by measuring “the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons,” as stated in a press release.

In the Vienna experiment, they used an interferometer, which is the most sensitive to rotations. Its unparalleled precision makes it the ultimate tool for measuring rotational speeds, limited only by the boundaries of classical physics.
