Jun 14, 2024 · Earth’s rotation has been measured many times over — but never like this. In a first, scientists used entangled quantum particles called photons to reveal the rate at which the globe spins.
3 days ago · We know Earth’s rotation on a cosmic scale, but seeing it close up requires quantum mechanics. Interferometry is the use of light waves, sound, etc., to identify changes in matter or motion. New ...
Jun 17, 2024 · A quantum physics experiment at the University of Vienna achieved groundbreaking precision in measuring Earth’s rotation using entangled photons. The study utilizes an enhanced optical Sagnac interferometer that leverages quantum entanglement to detect rotational effects with unprecedented precision, offering potential breakthroughs in both ...
Jun 14, 2024 · A team of researchers led by Philip Walther at the University of Vienna carried out a pioneering experiment where they measured the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons.
Jun 14, 2024 · Here, we present a table-top experiment using maximally path-entangled quantum states of light in a large-scale interferometer sensitive enough to measure the rotation rate of Earth. The achieved sensitivity of 5 μrad s −1 constitutes the highest rotation resolution ever reached with optical quantum interferometers.
Jun 17, 2024 · Researchers from Vienna built a giant Sagnac interferometer to measure the effect of the rotation of Earth on quantum entangled photons.
4 days ago · As entangled photons traverse this large-scale fibre optic loop, a measurable Sagnac phase shift occurs owing to Earth’s rotation. This shift is detected using quantum interference techniques ...
