In the bizarre field of quantum physics, quantum entanglement, what Einstein called “creepy action at a distance,” stands out as one of the most intriguing phenomena. And now scientists have successfully demonstrated it again, this time aboard a CubeSat satellite that orbits Earth. Quantum entanglement is where two particles inextricably …

By making use of the “creepy” laws behind quantum entanglement, physicists believe they have found a way to make information jump between a pair of electrons separated by distance. Teleportation of ground states between photons, massless light particles, is fast becoming old news, a trick we are still learning to …
