"EPR telephone" meaning in English

See EPR telephone in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: EPR telephones [plural]
Etymology: From EPR + telephone. From being a method of transmission (telephone) in non-linear quantum physics where faster-than-light (FTL) communication (non-local communication) is possible, as described in the EPR paradox proposed by Einstein, Poldolsky, Rosen, violating relativity. Coined by American physicist Joseph Polchinski in 1990. Etymology templates: {{compound|en|EPR|telephone}} EPR + telephone, {{coin|en|Joseph Polchinski|in=1990|nat=American|occ=physicist}} Coined by American physicist Joseph Polchinski in 1990 Head templates: {{en-noun}} EPR telephone (plural EPR telephones)
  1. A method of transmission of information non-locally, allowing FTL communication and back-in-time communication, through application of Steven Weinberg's proposed non-linear fields in quantum physics on entangled particles, accessing hidden variables of the Schrödinger equation. Categories (topical): Faster-than-light travel, Quantum mechanics, Time travel Synonyms: Einstein-Poldolsky-Rosen telephone Related terms: Everett-Wheeler telephone Coordinate_terms: Copenhagen interpretation, quantum collapse, quantum decoherence, quantum wave function, Schrödinger equation, Schrodinger equation
