The Idea: | |||
In quantum mechanics they say, when you measure the state one entangled particle you force the corresponding (e.g. spin) state on the other partner particle. Since the distance between these partners don't seem to play any role, couldn't you transport energy from one position to another? Normally, when the probabilities collapse to a discrete state, no energy is released. It's just information that is changed. | |||
However, scientists try to find exceptions. One possibility: Maxwell demons. [https://phys.org/news/2017-07-maxwell-demon-quantum.html Work (ergo energy) can be extracted from a quantum measurement.] | |||
<!--Think of two spin entangled particles as a swirling bar magnet. Then you measure it, rotation stops, revealing one side of the magnet. The other particle reveals the other, opposite spin state. | |||
However, entanglement is very fragile so you need some kind of "entanglement regeneration" to keep it alive and restore "used" connections. | |||
Such tech would so ridicules powerful that you wonder "what can not be done?" | |||
: I can't help to grin. It echos Marge Simpson: "We can do anything now that scientists have invented magic."--> | |||
Fictional use: | |||
One partner of an already entangled particle pair is measured with an Maxwell Demon setup. The original entanglement serves as bridge so that the additional entanglement, hence the introduction of additional energy, can be transported to whatever place to the partner particle. At the second location energy gets extracted again when the second entanglement is destroyed. The original entanglement ideally remains to repeat the process. Flipping spin states would be used to produce a weak yet energetic useful alternating spin current. | |||
A crazy addition to this is the usage of particles from stars because they constantly change states. Their partners are carried in BECs. (Certain merged fermions (matter particle) behave like bosons.) | |||
Maybe, for robustness, the entanglement can be made to exist between cluster rather than single particle. | |||
There's story fragment featuring this tech: boss battle of Yorick and Memhunter. Yorick switches off Möbius' safty protocol. He scarifies the regeneration for a short, full energy output. | |||
