Can we simply tell that the entanglement was collapsed on the other end? That would be sufficient to transmit information. If planet x is habitable when I get there, I measure/collapse this specific particle, whose counterpart is back on earth in a detector named "habitable". When the detector fires on earth because this particle was measured/collapsed on planet x, people on earth know planet x is habitable. There's no need to know the outcome of the measurement, just the fact that it was measured/collapsed is information enough.


Any time you feel tempted to treat collapse as an objective state of a single particle, remember that the collapse interpretation is mathematically indistinguishable from the multiverse interpretation. There's no test for whether collapse has happened other than measuring at both ends and comparing notes… and noticing that nature appears to be cheating somehow.


You can’t tell AT ALL if there was entanglement with one trial. You need to prepare the same state many many times and compare correlations many many times to establish correlations to within some error bound.


This doesn't work, but if it did, you could use it to front-run stock market movements. No need to go to space to find an application.


even if you could relay that one binary piece of information, that's one bit of an integer or string that could contain arbitrary information.

The only thing that is known is that the other entangled particle has opposite spin than what you register.


A particle with entaglement is undistinguishable from a particle with no entanglement.


We can’t.


yes, especially given the small amount of input data provided. Most A.I services rely on big data and days of training.


I like the lounge area.


I'm impressed with this extraordinary Tetris hack. Not only this article is as thorough and clearly explained as it gets, but its tone is classic, understated, concise and intelligent, making it an intemporal piece. I never thought I could be this interested in the inner workings of Tetris. The amount of knowledge required to put together this hack is simply unbelievable. Assembly code, artificial intelligence, reverse-engineering and much more kept me riveted throughout the process. Thank you for writing and sharing this memorable Tetris piece, that deserves far more appreciation from the community that's the most likely to understand this achievement. Bravo!


I'm impressed with the detailed analysis of the inner workings of the various aspects of the complete package. I'm tempted to try to write documentation for software that I'm working on in the same way. A sort of guided tour through the processes at every stage, with links to the actual code sprinkled in. At the very least it might be entertaining for whoever has to maintain it later.


I'm a strong A.I hobbyist, and I just put up a website for my basic abstract algorithm: genudi. The website's implementation of the algo revolves around having a conversation with a computer. Currently in limited release, you can request a Pioneer account from there: http://www.genudi.com


An example is worth a thousand words, take a look at this conversation with a strong AI machine: http://www.genudi.com/share/27/Dialog
