The 37 dimensions of quantum light


Listen Later

Welcome to season 8 of the show. This season we're focusing on recent scientific discoveries.

In this episode, Physicists have recently achieved a breakthrough by demonstrating a long-sought quantum paradox involving light particles that function across 37 dimensions. This research focuses on the concept of contextuality, a principle suggesting that the properties of the physical world are not fixed until they are measured. By utilizing exclusivity graphs and a specialized optical processor, the international team successfully proved the existence of complex quantum correlations that classical physics cannot explain. These findings resolve a decades-old scientific mystery regarding how many specific scenarios are required to observe such non-classical behavior. Ultimately, these discoveries regarding high-dimensional systems could provide the necessary framework for developing more powerful and efficient quantum computers.
