    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

    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.
    :p

    Fascinating.

    This discovery holds big potential.

    Quantum Magnetism Simulated In Europe...
    :cool:
    Quantum magnetism simulated using ultracold fermions
    May 24, 2013 > Quantum magnetism has been mimicked – or simulated – using ultracold fermionic atoms for the first time. Researchers in Switzerland and France placed atoms on a 2D square lattice created by criss-crossing laser beams. By controlling the interactions between atoms, the team put pairs of atoms into antiferromagnetic configurations. While quantum magnetism plays an important role in a range of solid-state phenomena, it can be difficult to calculate its effect on materials such as high-temperature superconductors. As a result, quantum simulations should lead to better theoretical models of a range of solids.

    walky you are dangerous sometimes

    by next week that term may be the punch for a bathouse

    Look up how long Casimir has been known?????




    The causes of the Casimir effect are described by quantum field theory, which states that all of the various fundamental fields, such as the electromagnetic field, must be quantized at each and every point in space. In a simplified view, a "field" in physics may be envisioned as if space were filled with interconnected vibrating balls and springs, and the strength of the field can be visualized as the displacement of a ball from its rest position. Vibrations in this field propagate and are governed by the appropriate wave equation for the particular field in question. The second quantization of quantum field theory requires that each such ball-spring combination be quantized, that is, that the strength of the field be quantized at each point in space. At the most basic level, the field at each point in space is a simple harmonic oscillator, and its quantization places a quantum harmonic oscillator at each point. Excitations of the field correspond to the elementary particles of particle physics. However, even the vacuum has a vastly complex structure, so all calculations of quantum field theory must be made in relation to this model of the vacuum.

    The vacuum has, implicitly, all of the properties that a particle may have: spin, or polarization in the case of light, energy, and so on. On average, most of these properties cancel out: the vacuum is, after all, "empty" in this sense. One important exception is the vacuum energy or the vacuum expectation value of the energy. The quantization of a simple harmonic oscillator states that the lowest possible energy or zero-point energy that such an oscillator may have is E=hbarw



    what makes casimir so cool is that is shows a zero point energy but that's impossibble because it breaks every board of walking the planck
