creating entangled photons for quantum-information systems

I am interested in seeing how they intend to make this work. We currently have entangled particles, but no way to transmit any real data (other than +1/-1 spin). Faster than light communication would be game changing.

"highly-excited electron is shared by several atoms" - that sounds so dirty ?

So Steven universe could be real one day?

Wow! Splendid!?

Wow! Neat-o.

The particle/wave property of light will rage on. Photons may prove to be the transition state between energy and mass that is just now becoming understood.

Randomness vs Intelligence

We are dealing with two basic assumptions. One is that there was a huge explosion (Big Bang) followed by randomness: therefore, out of chaos came order. Of course, this violates the laws of physic. Our other assumption is intelligent assist. Throughout this article I will state: Randomness or Intelligence - you choose

“All nature cries aloud that there is a supreme intelligence.” - Voltaire

Evidence from Science Textbooks

One of the strict characteristics of our planet is it’s animal life. There are one million known species and possibly four million more undiscovered. These range from micro organisms to the macros such as elephants and blue whales. Animals saturate the earth in our waters, on the planet, and in the invisible fluid that surrounds this world - our atmosphere. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

I want to examine flight. "Flight is a portion of genius.” - Poet William Blake

An engineer once said, "If it works, it is not happening by accident."

There are over 9,000 species of birds, most of which live in the air. Muscles, bones, chemical machines orchestrate complex tasks necessary for survival. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

I’m starting with cells as the smallest living unit that make up the egg. But cells are not the smallest living units. Proteins are complex machinery that have their own language, communication system, and motors. But proteins are not the smallest living units. Proteins are made up of hundreds or thousands of smaller units called amino acids. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

Now let’s start with a bird’s egg which can range from one ounce to three pounds with an incubation period from two to seven weeks. Extensively study by scientists, the chicken egg develops in a similar manner as all eggs do. Upon fertilization, protected by the hard shell, this “factory” kicks everything into gear according to the DNA plan embedded within the egg. The first day the orientation of the embryo is established: front to back, top to bottom. Thousands of cells move rapidly according to the DNA blueprint as to where they are to function. On the second day the spinal cord, the eyes and ears, and vascular system is established. The heart beats, the head moves to the fetal position and by the end of the second day blood vessels move fluid through the bird’s system. Billions of cells move quickly as a choreographed ballet. During the next 19 days the embryo, with speed and efficiency, develops all of its physical characteristics including its information machines and genetic instincts. After 21 days the chick instinctively begins to peck at the protective shell that has provided its livelihood and security. This scientific evidence is amazing.

Now that we have a bird, let’s talk about flight.

Skeleton
Let’s see what other scientists have to say about flight. Think about a pelican. It weighs about twenty pounds, can fly hundreds of miles per stint and has a skeletal frame that weighs less than 1.9 ounces. The bird’s strong yet lightweight bones are hollow with structs and girders for strength. This is an engineering masterpiece. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

Wings
Wings have to be light, strong, and flexible. Examine the feather and you will discover a long hollow shaft the entire length of the feather. One side of the feather is designed to function with a feather next to it. On the downward stroke the feathers form a tight, flat surface. On the upstroke the feathers open up allowing air to pass through the wing for maximum efficiency. For the Canadian goose there are four small feather attached to the leading edge of the wings disrupting the air flow and prevents stalling at low speeds such as landings. The bulk of the chest bone and powerful chest muscles are below the wings for a stable low center of gravity. The integration of all of the components required for flight are again a masterful engineering endeavor. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

Hummingbirds
There are 343 species of hummingbirds. This unique bird called “natures helicopter” is built for speed and maneuverability. The powerful flight muscles represent 43% of its body mass and the wings flap at the rate of 100 times per second, heartbeats 1250 times per second. Its wings are placed in a ball joint in it’s shoulder bone allowing the wings 140 degree movement for forward flight, hovering, and backward flight. Its rigorous lifestyle is maintained by it muscular, metabolic, and circular systems. For maintenance, it is necessary for the bird to consume twice its body weight each day. The anatomy of this bird is again an engineering marvel and is unique in the avian world. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

European Starlings - Murmuration
On a winter evening in the skies above southern England, 300,000 starlings come together as they approach their evening roosting place. The sky almost goes black as this massive cloud of birds gracefully, quickly twist and turn and swirl in the sky. Without a leader each bird must decide which direction to go. How do they do that and yet never collide with each other? A decision must be made in 1/100th of a second. This is a mystery, a ballet in the sky, a wonder leaving one standing in silent astonishment. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

Arctic Terns - Incredible Achievement
Scientists have discovered that the Arctic Terns have the longest migration of any animal on earth - from their exact nesting location at the north pole to their nests at the south pole. Twice a year , terns spend most of their lives in the air. This is a roundtrip of 24,000 miles over the Atlantic Ocean. They have the ability to navigate over open waters, find food, and endure 300 miles of flight per day. The average Tern will make 30 migrations in a lifetime - this is equivalent to three excursions to the moon and back. The Arctic Tern is a living work of art requiring the highest degree of engineering. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

“For since the creation of the world His (God’s) invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools …” - The Bible

Molecular Biologist Nobel Laureate Francis Crick eloquently insists that scientists must keep in mind that whatever caused all of the mysteries of this world, a mind (intelligence) must be excluded as a possibility. Purpose and design are not valued. Randomness is the only option. Randomness or Intelligence - You choose

Ken Burns in his work on the Vietnam war quotes a soldier who said , “He became an atheist when he witnessed the horrors of war - that is until the gunfire started again.”

"I don't need to prove God exists to you, because you already know he does. Someday, you will be in a very dark place, and in that quiet, lonely, scary place, you know there is a God and you know you will face him. Your body can't deny it. So, I don't need to prove God exists because he has already told you he does. You can try to ignore it, but someday that dark place is coming." - Luis Palau’s comment to an atheist.

To me this fact above is overwhelming evidence of the design by a a superior intelligence. I can’t possibly believe randomness initiated our spectacularly complex universe.

Imagine, storing data at the molecular level. Computations would be exponentialy more precise and powerful. Yet this is the first I've heard of photonic molecular structures. Ultimately, this is the future of optic information transfer in closed systems, just way beyond our current ability to utilize optical information transfers.

TY for posting this. I find it interesting even if I have only limited understanding.

Part of the path to the quantum computer, faster and less power.

Check out Milo Wolf and the wave structure of matter.

That's way over my head!! A photon has zero mass and zero charge. I will have a close look at this but I doubt that I will grasp the concept. Very interesting, thank you for posting.
