Scientists Explore the Speed of Quantum Entanglement at the Attosecond Scale Understanding Quantum Theory Quantum theory explains phenomena that occur over extraordinarily brief time scales, Historically, such occurrences were seen as 'instantaneous': An electron circles an atomic nucleus— only to be abruptly ejected by a flash of light. Two particles interact — then suddenly become 'quantum entangled.' New Frontiers in Quantum Research Today, it is possible to explore the temporal progression of these seemingly 'instantaneous' effects. In collaboration with Chinese research teams, TU Wien (Vienna) has developed simulations that allow for the study of ultrafast processes. These simulations enable researchers to observe how quantum entanglement forms on an attosecond time scale. The outcomes of the study have been published in the journal Physical Review Letters . Two Particles Forming One Quantum System In the case quantum entanglement between two particles , ...
