Thread: Quantum Tunneling (energy transfer)

http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases...0405142156.htm

According to team leader, Professor Jeremy Baumberg, "the trick to telling electrons how to pass through walls, is to now marry them with light."

This marriage is fated because the light is in the form of cavity photons, packets of light trapped to bounce back and forth between mirrors which sandwich the electrons oscillating through their wall.

Research scientist Peter Cristofolini added: "The offspring of this marriage are actually new indivisible particles, made of both light and matter, which disappear through the slab-like walls of semiconductor at will."

One of the features of these new particles, which the team christened 'dipolaritons', is that they are stretched out in a specific direction rather like a bar magnet. And just like magnets, they feel extremely strong forces between each other.

Such strongly interacting particles are behind a whole slew of recent interest from semiconductor physicists who are trying to make condensates, the equivalent of superconductors and superfluids that travel without loss, in semiconductors.

Being in two places at once, these new electronic particles hold the promise of transferring ideas from atomic physics into practical devices, using quantum mechanics visible to the eye

Look into Casimir regarding the 'mirrors' (plates).

Then note the potential is identified at different locations as the property known of light, as 'entanglement'

Good stuff

Good stuff

i wanted to offer another anology of this property:


this post/thread, has entangled mass................?

yes no?

it is why i can claim i am 'here'

possum got a tunnel from the back bedroom to the kitchen...

... so's he don't wake ever'body up when he gets a midnight snack...

... don't know if it'd qualify as one o' dem quantum tunnels...

... we just call it possum's tunnel.

Fascinating.

This discovery holds big potential.
