Communication supraluminique

Superluminal communication is a hypothetical process in which information is conveyed at faster-than-light speeds. The current scientific consensus is that faster-than-light communication is not possible, and to date it has not been achieved in any experiment. Superluminal communication other than possibly through wormholes is likely impossible because, in a Lorentz-invariant theory, it could be used to transmit information into the past. This complicates causality, but no theoretical arguments conclusively preclude this possibility. A number of theories and phenomena related to superluminal communication have been proposed or studied, including tachyons, neutrinos, quantum nonlocality, wormholes, and quantum tunneling. Tachyonic particles are hypothetical particles that travel faster than light. These would allow superluminal communication, and for this reason are widely believed not to exist. By contrast, tachyonic fields - quantum fields with imaginary mass - certainly do exist and exhibit superluminal group velocity under some circumstances. However, such fields have luminal signal velocity and do not allow superluminal communication. Quantum mechanics is non-local in the sense that distant systems can be entangled. Entangled states lead to correlations in the results of otherwise random measurements, even when the measurements are made nearly simultaneously and at far distant points. The impossibility of superluminal communication led Einstein, Podolsky, and Rosen to propose that quantum mechanics must be incomplete (see EPR paradox). However, it is now well understood that quantum entanglement does not allow any influence or information to propagate superluminally. Technically, the microscopic causality postulate of axiomatic quantum field theory implies the impossibility of superluminal communication using any phenomena whose behavior can be described by orthodox quantum field theory. A special case of this is the no-communication theorem, which prevents communication using the quantum entanglement of a composite system shared between two spacelike-separated observers.

Ghost imaging using two SPAD array detectors: a parameter study towards the realization of a 3D quantum microscope

Edoardo Charbon, Claudio Bruschini, Paul Mos, Yang Lin

Quantum ghost imaging can be an important tool in making optical measurements. One of the most useful aspects of ghost imaging is the unique ability to correlate two sets of independently collected information. We aim to use the principles of ghost imaging ...

In physics, the no-communication theorem or no-signaling principle is a no-go theorem from quantum information theory which states that, during measurement of an entangled quantum state, it is not possible for one observer, by making a measurement of a subsystem of the total state, to communicate information to another observer. The theorem is important because, in quantum mechanics, quantum entanglement is an effect by which certain widely separated events can be correlated in ways that, at first glance, suggest the possibility of communication faster-than-light.

Le voyage dans le temps est un des grands thèmes de la science-fiction, au point d’être considéré comme un genre à part entière. L’idée d’aller revivre le passé ou de découvrir à l’avance le futur est un rêve humain causé par le fait que l’être humain avance dans le temps de manière permanente, mais irréversible (et, à l’état de veille, apparemment de façon linéaire). La première mention d’un voyage dans le temps serait le personnage de Merlin l’Enchanteur dans le cycle arthurien des chevaliers de la Table ronde, qui visitait les temps passés.

Les expériences sur les inégalités de Bell, parfois nommées expériences EPR sont conçues pour démontrer l'existence dans le monde réel de certaines conséquences théoriques du phénomène d'intrication en mécanique quantique, phénomène supposé ne pouvant pas se produire selon une image classique du monde caractérisée par la notion de principe de localité. En vertu du principe de localité, les corrélations entre les résultats des différentes mesures effectuées sur des systèmes physiquement séparés doivent satisfaire à certaines contraintes, appelées inégalités de Bell.
