That was a very very accurate explanation of how quantum teleportation works! Even with the "questions" analogy. Bien jugado, Henry. Although I was expecting to listen something: because the teleportation can't be completly perform if the Earth's scientist doesn't tell the moon's scientist the answer of the question he asks to the original cat, *faster than light quantum teleportation is impossible*. He needs to send to the other guy that answer in the traditional way.
QuantumFracture Y yo justo mientras veía el vídeo estaba pensando en si harías un video sobre teletransportacion..
you know physics has become too complicated when beaming a superposition to the moon becomes "traditional". haha
... I totally completely understood what was said there *not*
QuantumFracture me duele el cerebro x_x ahora explicalo tú a tu manera :D tus vídeos igual son muy buenos
The name "quantum teleportation" really screws people up. It should be called quantum entanglement transference or something. It would only have something to do with transporting people or things if their quantum state was important to their makeup. Any quantum entanglement inside people is constantly being destroyed, so the assumption that to transport a person, you need to use quantum teleportation to include all their quantum states is quite dubious.
Sometimes I like to pretend I understand this stuff.
Imagine a guy has a closed box and asks "Is there a cat in here?" and you say "Maybe?" and then the guy never opens the box. congrats now you're up to speed.
ehhh its a bit easier to imagine this: While blind folded, you push an object onto the floor. There is no sound, and you do not know if it is broken or not. The whole idea is that until you check to see if its broken, it is in a superposition state of being both broken and not broken. When you take off the blindfold, the universe kinda makes up its mind and decides on whether it is broken, or its not broken.
Example. you drop your phone, is the screen cracked or not. how do you find out. you look, thus collapsing the states of the screen to broken or not. hearing the screen break would be an observation causing the same results as picking it up to look does
Potato The Turnip How does it depend on weather I check it or not? like is not it already broken when I pick it? I mean that sounds like a magic like phone is not broken but when i pick it up it becomes broken?
MinezGio Not exactly. Superposition in quantum physics is a state that is completely separated from our intuitive understanding of the world around us. Imagine that: A blind man is trying to figure out the position of a candle that is somewhere located in his room. The only help he's got is a ball he can throw at the candle to tell by the sound where exactly that candle is located. However, the moment he finds out, the position of the candle has changed because he threw a ball at it. The moment we try and meassure the state of a quantum particle, it takes a certain position, even though it behaved as if it had multiple positions before we observed it.

the thing I'm wondering about this kind of teleportation: What can we do about the matter that ends up rearranged on the transmitting end? According to this, it could basically be any arrangement of particles, which has me concerned it could be unstable or in some way hazardous
11:03 "after we beam them the message..." this is a pretty important bit that most people miss and instead think the teleportation can be done solely by manipulating the entangled pair without transmitting anything else. It deserves more attention I think
"YES, WE GOT IT! We can now transfer people to locations faster than li-" The universe: woah woah woah, slow down there buddy, not so fast. You won't get away with this, fuck you!

What I don't get: 4:05 to teleport the cat to the moon, we need to get it entangled. To entangle it we need to get something already entangled on the moon. That's almost a catch 22. If I'm not mistaken, this means it's impossible to teleport somewhere we haven't been before. So we could never teleport somewhere really far away, like a neighboring Galaxy unless we went there first. Meaning we'd have to send a bunch of well-trained astronaut volunteers unrelated to another to that said Galaxy, and have them breed in space and raise/train their kids (and hope they catch on and are willing to accept their new lives and understand it's importance) and repeat that cycle until they reach the galaxy to make the observation to teleport whatever it is that will allow them to start setting up the new civilization. Oh, and the entire time, nobody can know what's in the "box" (or state of, w.e.) or else it will all be for nothing.
4 years later, it's been teleported into my recommendation list. Time travel works!
Imagine all life as you know it ceasing as every molecule in your body is painfully erased. Meanwhile, thousands of miles away, an exact clone of you with all of your memories goes "Wow, I successfully teleported! And it was completely painless too!" That was always my biggest fear of teleportation.
Yeah, and even though in the video he says it isn't cloning, the teleportation of this video seems to be one of those, where the original is destroyed/transformed.

am I the only one who thinks that using quarks instead of cats and fleas would've been simpler?
Yes.
nah i agree. using macro-scale objects as an analogy for energy fields is confusing for me as well
using coins is ideal IMO. heads and tails are easy to keep straight, but are still macro objects, and won't make people feel like they need any understanding of quarks.
I agree but not sure it would have had as big of an audience and a lot of people who aren't versed in physics may have been less inclined to follow. But yeah, I got confused by this at points and had to stop the video and check what he'd said but wouldn't (well, probably wouldn't) have had to had it been about elementaries in the first place.
Quarks can't exist in isolation, so no that wouldn't be simpler.

Quantum entanglement is truly fascinating true phenomena more than any fiction ever created
"I used fleas so that the math would be easier to follow." Is definitely a quote I want to use some day
When *minute physics* needs 14 minutes to explain teleportation only on a theory level...
Yes, it is an explanation in minutes and relatively short for something that could have taken an hour to thoroughly explain. What’s your point? He successfully communicated to a broad audience without making it either too detailed or too watered down, so that people could readily connect, get the general idea, and themselves look up further details. That’s a successful video, esp. considering the otherwise generally content-void rubbish on KZhead like ‘life pranks’, ‘beauty channels’, gossip… about other KZheadrs, the bazillion Minecraft let’s‚ plays, the idiots who spend way too much time over interpretting trailers or mere teasers of the next Game of Thrones season, etc.
His point is that teleportation is a very big topic
Still don't understand.
joseph jackson speed the video up 14 times
You know a scientific theory is different from a theory you have right?
So at 12:54 you mention after the teleportation, what was originally a cat is now a pile of each molecule that made up that cat. Does that mean that THAT pile of jumbled cat molecules is what we have to start with and send to the moon before observation? (Assuming we were trying to teleport a cat to the moon)
Well, 100km would still be useful as a method of communication. Just 1 pair of 8 bit sets could be used to transfer an entire byte if the timing is reliable. Otherwise we need an additional clock bit. Depending on the reliability more for parity. Then it could be used to transfer bytes at whatever rate you can reliably change all of those.

I mean this is about as simple as it gets for quantum teleportation
I honestly think you're complicating it. What's wrong with using particles? I think that would be easier to comprehend than cats and fleas. People with no background in this will only be confused and lose track.

flawmore Because it's not the intelligent era. It's the Internet era
When I was watching this，( a guy studying 11th grade physics) thinks that this is more about probability rather than quantum entanglement
I think you lack comprehension of the amount of destruction of cats that is necessary.
Well everyone has a different perspective. But yeah, I think particles would make it easier on myself to understand.
11:00 So while teleportation is possible, faster than light teleportation is impossible? Or are we assuming there's an FTL way (probably involving even more entangled particles) to send that information to the moon?
I'm still trying to understand how our knowledge of the state of something, makes the entanglement collapse, much less how that makes things teleport.
0:12 IKEA is teleportation now
It would be much easier to understand with electrons. all the complexity almost killed value of analogy.
the thing about explaining this sort of science is it doesn't really matter what words you use; so if it matters to you .. then you might want to think about your strategy for understanding science.
There is nothing "easy" about quantum mechanics. Even the most renowned scientists admit they don't fully understand what the fuck is going on in that domain.
No it wouldn't be easier at all for people that don't know how electrons work
Completely agree, the cat and flea made it impossible to understand
akshay rathore I agree, especially because it implies to the layman that you can kill a flea on the moon by telling an astronaut whether a cat is dead or alive.
This could have important implications for how we deal with long term sea level rise Imagine if it was possible to simply entangle some particles on the iceberg, send one of those particles to an asteroid, and pull the lever. An asteroid doesn't flood a city.
Yeah but then you would have to deal with the pile of particles that were previously an iceberg and still have the same mass.
I know im a bit late to this but i can't help but point a few things out. 1. When you mentioned what would happen to the original "CAT" once it was teleported you said it would be in a superposition with every possible three letter configuration but i don't see how that is possible since the original "CAT" was made up of the three letters c,a,t and in order to have any configuration of letters that contained letters beside c,a,t that would imply the teleportation process would have created new matter which is impossible since we know that matter cannot be created nor destroyed only change form. What would actually happen is the original "CAT" would enter a superposition of every possible configuration of those three letters c,a,t. 2. This would imply there is a chance the original "CAT" would remain in its original configuration even if the chance of that happening is extremely low, which would mean there is a very low chance that after the original "CAT" has been "teleported" by reconfiguring matter somewhere else to reform into the "CAT", the original could end up not changing at all as if nothing had happened while the teleported version forms essentially creating an exact copy in other words a clone which earlier in the video you stated is impossible. 3. There fore either it is possible to clone using this method or the method is impossible to begin with and this doesn't even take into consideration the moral and or philosophical implications created by using this method. 4. This entire method is not necessary because using wormholes we can just connect two points in spacetime allowing for instant travel in other words teleportation as theorized by Einsteins theory of general relativity rendering this entire process redundant to begin with. If i missed any thing or am wrong about something please correct me but as far as i know everything i have stated above is correct.

I have a question: ¿can i hypothetically use the same data to reestructure two bodys instead of one? because if it is possible, then we could return to the conflict of the cloning paradox, for example we would have 2 practically equal people and the problem of deciding which is the original one. (Please, if you are interested, click like to make it more likely to be answered.)
Mariano Esteban Ruiz Santamaria you can’t, because of the entanglement: if one ‘is’ , then the other ‘isn’t’, or if one is A, the other must be B. Or if one is nicely arranged into a body, the other one must be a jumbled pile of atoms. I would still call it a clone though, just one where you destroyed the original in the proces and the result is a perfect clone.
My brain was brusted while watching the mathematics part

BobZ i'm stuck in a nervous laugh because of you x)

Jenny HMMMMMMMMMMM

3:15 if you can separate entangled particles over a long distance, say light years away. What if we changed the state of one particle while the particles are separated? Would it change the state of the other particle instantly? (Say one particle was spin up, therefore the other was down. Then we change up to down, would down change to up instantly?) Or would it take a light year. Or would the other particle not even change?
12:44 So if someone watches you teleport, they'll see you explode all over the walls? Just the clean up costs will make teleportation out of reach for most people, and that doesn't even include therapy costs for teleport operators.
just checking if this was made on april 1st

it isnt a joke, its just quantum physics
I get the feeling you really enoyed making this episode!!!
me2
i understand that teleportation takes place within what possibilities are faced within the situation itself, but would it be possible for two of the same events to take place within one, while changing prediction of the cat's ability to survive in a situation that falter's from it assumed to be dead?
Very cool video but I'm not at all convinced it's not just destructive cloning. What you really sent is the instructions to build a perfect copy-cat out of new particles while scrambling the original. If we managed this with people does that mean whenever you teleport it leaves behind a pile of blended meat sludge?? Or will the atoms be so disorganised they vaporise to individual atoms (resulting in some explosive chemical reactions), or will even the subatomic particles be separated (surely even more explosive)???
This is why Einstein called quantum entanglement "spooky" lol
now you switch -B to +B but how? ...magic?
Linear algebra, unitary transformation
I am somewhat confused. Teleporting a cat would violate the no-teleportation theorem because it would allow transferring a classical bit. In cat terms, that could be as simple as trimming the cat's fur. Shaggy cat =1, trim cat with fur clippings on the floor=0. Or just teleport a thumb drive instead of a cat.
I know this sounds dumb, but how do we answer the question of environmental quantum entanglement during transport? In short, how would we solve for quantum entanglement of the cat and the environment when that entanglement does not exist on the moon? Would they then be different, or would the entanglement transfer (it looks like the second case, but I am not fully certain).
I put my cat in a box for a day. It didn't teleport.

When I was younge I would think my tazos/Pokemon cards would change throughout all the possibilities until I opened them and broke the bond...
duble d I used to think that with my yugi oh cards. Still do with scratch tickets.
Shrödinger's pokémons.
Yessss! I do this too! I do not believe in a pack of playing cards that the order of which the playing cards are sitting in is final before you have picked one up and looked at it. You might aswell assume that every card is blank and then decideds what its going to be once you pick it up and look at it. I do believe in a sense that you can jinx something. I feel like maybe the card could have been maybe a 5 but because you asked "please be a 5, please be a 5", its going to decide well since you wanted me to be a 5 and were so demanding, im going to change myself to a 7 or what have you. 😂 so I try to keep my mind as blank as much as possible like when I want something specific like in a game or even a scratchy ticket or the odd time I have played on the pokies. Well im not a very lucky person so im not sure my blank mind thinking is working 😂.
The problem with this is that the order is predetermined. The cards were put in a certain order in the box. With the cat, it’s a hypothetical thought experiment where there is no possible way to know whether it’s dead or alive.
Ah but say that the deck was somehow completely randomized, with no way of knowing the starting conditions, and remained unobserved until opened. Then would each card be a superposition of all possible 52 cards?
I don't get the second part in 7:42 i think the answer is: (cat = flea) - (rip >= 1). Where does the (rip = 1) comes from?
The first one may be possible when moving trough a realm of space time so you are basicaly in superposition of two places

0:00 Video starts.
14:12 Video ends
It is good that you concluded that this is a teleport of properties, not objects, which will never be possible unless there is a prefabricated superposition in the target. But Schrodinger's cat, as mentioned at the beginning, is exactly how it can never work in the macro world, which Schrodinger pointed out by his model cat.
so does this mean if we discover intelligent life a great distance from us (suppose 400 ly away, like the Pleiades system), the easiest way to visit (and hopefully come back in one piece) is to send them a an entangled qubit and instructions (which we would have to hope they understand) to use this as the datastream for a quantum teleporter? Assuming everything goes well, and they swap the "boxes" shortly after receiving the message, don't we basically have to be standing in the right spot 400 years later? Or does relativity mean it's instant from our perspective (and it's just 400 years later when we are reassembled)? What about the return trip?
It's the scariest scenario: at the exact instant you get killed, an exact clone of you is created who will have all your memories and swear he's you...
One point I would like to emphasize is that you have to transmit some kind of classical information (here the result of the indirect measurement). And that is what prohibits any kind of faster than light communication.
excellent point
Plasmaboo I wouldn't go as far as saying that it completely ruins the point of teleportation. Sure, it doesn't correspond to what we commonly picture as teleportation, such as an instant travel mechanism. However this method here may be the only sort of thing to make lightspeed travel actually possible, which in itself is actually an incredible achievement opening huge possibilities (that will, alas, most likely always remain in the domain of sci-fi when it comes to transporting actual people...).
Just quantum teleport the information. Easy.
To be useful, it hasn't got to be able to transmit information faster than light. It makes copying the state of a quantum object possible, which can't be measured at all. (cause the moment it is measured, it collapses into one of two states, but there's no way to get the probabilities of each state, which is what quantum computers use for calculation)
So what if we can't do faster than light? We still would be able to transmit matter at significant fractions of it thanks to communications tech. Imagine no more rockets blasting off from the surface of the planet to space, and instead they just get teleported into space directly.
