Quantum entanglement is a physical phenomenon which occurs when pairs or groups of particles are generated or interact in ways such that the quantum state of each particle cannot be described independently of the state of the other(s), even when the particles are separated by a large distance—instead, a quantum state must be described for the system as a whole. Einstein famously described it as “spooky action at a distance”. In work recently published in Nature, a team led by Prof. Mika Sillanpää at Aalto University in Finland has shown that entanglement of objects as large as a human hair can be generated and detected.
Listen to poem:
We be entwined and entangled,
for spooky action at a distance,
despite our separation.
For I know what you are up to.
I know how and what you think.
I know your feelings, fads and focus.
I know that you know, the same about me.
For we spent so much time being together.
Serendipity loads the dice for chance encounters.
Our fates are intertwined, snared together, entangled.
Recurrences ring the déjà vu party line.
For actions and reactions, spooky at a distance.
