![]() ![]() The concept of Quantum Entanglement is the basis to potentially solve long distance communication issues in the future. The concept is known as Quantum Entanglement, or as Albert Einstein mockingly referred to it as “Spooky Action At A Distance”. The concept has been around since Albert Einstein, in a joint paper with Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen formulated the EPR Paradox (Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen paradox) in 1935. The research is conducted by Georgia Tech, with researchers from Columbia University, Harvard University, MIT, the University of Michigan, Stanford University and the University of Wisconsin. The researchers will look at ways to create entangled quantum memories for use in securing long distance transmission of secure information. We aim to create large scale systems that use entanglement for quantum communication and potentially also quantum computing.” “The three basic capabilities will be: storing quantum information for longer periods of time, on the order of seconds converting the information to light and transmitting the information over long distances. “We want to develop a set of novel and powerful approaches to quantum networking,” said Alex Kuzmich, a professor in Georgia Tech’s School of Physics and project’s principal investigator. The fact that QEC is a point-to-point transmission between entangled particles makes the transmission nearly un-hackable and worthy of military interest. Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) to determine the best approach for generating quantum memories based on interaction between light and matter. The Air Force is interested in un-hackable communication like the QEC in Mass Effect AFOSR funds $8.5M research initiative to study quantum memories.Īn $8.5M research grant was awarded to a consortium of U.S. Communications being intercepted or possibly hacked into. ![]() Speed of light limitation causing an associated lag in communication over very long distances.Interference from all types of issues including electromagnetic interference and obstructions between transmitter and receiver.Transmission and reception range limitations.What communication problems could QEC potentially solve? QEC is an important concept because of the potential interstellar communication problems it could solve such as: Her award-winning 1974 novel The Dispossessed, a book in the Hainish Cycle, tells of the invention of the ansible. Le Guin states that she derived the name from the word “answerable”, as the device would allow its users to receive answers to their messages in a reasonable amount of time, even over interstellar distances. Another author, Orson Scott Card also used the same name for a similar device. Le Guin coined the word ansible in her 1966 novel Rocannon’s World. The communication concept known as “ Ansible” is based on real life quantum mechanics. The QEC science fiction concept has been around for a while, and mentioned by several science fiction authors. Le Guin QEC in other science fiction stories The concept of QEC is shown in a scene from the Mass Effect Game in the video below.ĮDI explains quantum entanglement communications The Dispossessed by Ursula K. If you’re a fan of the Mass Effect game series, then you’re already familiar with the concept of Quantum Entanglement Communication (QEC)–also known as Faster Than Light (FTL) Communication, or Superluminal Communication. ![]() Mass Effect and Quantum Entanglement Communication (QEC) ![]()
