A quantum state of light was successfully teleported through more than 30 kilometers (around 18 miles) of fiber optic cable amid a torrent of internet traffic – a feat of engineering once considered impossible.
Once you hit quantum mechanics, you need to throw out a lot of your instinctive knowledge, and just follow the maths. How this maps back to our perception is patchy at best. Once you add science reporters, who don’t actually understand the core subject, and you get some… interesting results.
In hindsight, “quantum voodoo dolls” is a term I could easily see being used. There are a lot of poorly thought out Wats to try and describe quantum weirdness.
It was a bit of a joke. Entangled particles act a little like voodoo dolls, with “spooky action at a distance”.
ah, world is going so crazy you cant really know what is what anymore
