![]() ![]() His proposal (which I have called KISS, for "Kalamidas's Instant Signaling Scheme) has been accepted for publication in the March 2013 issue of the Journal of the Optical Society of America. Recently Demetrios Kalamidas, who has a degree from CCNY and is currently working at New York nanotech company Raith USA, has proposed an FTL signaling scheme using a novel kind of quantum measurement. One can easily imagine that an ingenious way of making a quantum measurement might be discovered that evades the assumptions underlying these proofs, hence opening the door to a practical faster-than-light signaling scheme. However any impossibility proof is only as good as the assumptions that go into it. Furthermore, using the very theory that describes entanglement, one can prove (in agreement with all current experiments) that superluminal signaling is impossible. However no experiment with entangled particles has ever revealed a human-usable superluminal connection. No matter how distant their separation, an action on one seems (again only in the theory) to instantly affect the state of its distant partner - which suggests that entangled particles can communicate faster than light. Two quantum particles (photons, electrons, atoms, for instance) that have once interacted seem in theory to behave as a single entity. The phenomenon of quantum entanglement is truly bizarre. ![]()
