\n A concise, non-technical exploration of quantum entanglement\u2014the enigma Albert Einstein called \u2018spooky action at a distance\u2019\u2014and how it contradicts our assumptions about the ultimate nature of reality.<\/p>\n

Quantum physics is notable for its brazen defiance of common sense. (Think of Schr\u00f6dinger’s Cat, famously both dead and alive.) An especially rigorous form of quantum contradiction occurs in experiments with entangled particles. Our common assumption is that objects have properties whether or not anyone is observing them, and the measurement of one can\u2019t affect the other. Quantum entanglement\u2014called by Einstein \u201cspooky action at a distance\u201d\u2014rejects this assumption, offering impeccable reasoning and irrefutable evidence of the opposite. Is quantum entanglement mystical, or just mystifying? In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Jed Brody equips readers to decide for themselves. He explains how our commonsense assumptions impose constraints\u2014from which entangled particles break free.<\/p>\n

Brody explores such concepts as local realism, Bell\u2019s inequality, polarization, time dilation, and special relativity. He introduces readers to imaginary physicists Alice and Bob and their photon analyses; points out that it’s easier to reject falsehood than establish the truth; and reports that some physicists explain entanglement by arguing that we live in a cross-section of a higher-dimensional reality. He examines a variety of viewpoints held by physicists, including quantum decoherence, Niels Bohr’s Copenhagen interpretation, genuine fortuitousness, and QBism. This relatively recent interpretation, an abbreviation of \u201cquantum Bayesianism,\u201d holds that there’s no such thing as an absolutely accurate, objective probability \u201cout there,\u201d that quantum mechanical probabilities are subjective judgments, and there’s no \u201caction at a distance,\u201d spooky or otherwise. <\/p>\n
