hoola Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) as a thought experiment, what if one of an entangled pair of particles were to fall into a black hole and it's partner is in a remote lab and is measured. Would the black hole residing particle respond to it's partner as in the case of being separated by only distance, and not affect by the event horizon? IOW, is non locality blocked if one particle is behind the horizon, forming a sort of informational diode to even this quantum effect?

Genady Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 They don't respond in any case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoola Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 in any case? I am considering the traditional case of mere separation of partcles vs. separation by an event horizon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genady Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Yes, I understand. When they are merely separated, they don't respond either. This is what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoola Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 yes, I am aware of that term being inaccurate technically, but I mean the out of phase parameter spin observations that occur in these experiments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mordred Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) Think of it this way Hoola, an entangled particle is entangled by a probability function. When one particle changes state it does not cause the other to change state. You can merely make predictions of state of the other particle by measuring the state of one of the pairs. Once a measurement is made the superposition wavefunction collapses. So you cannot measure prior to sending a particle into the Bh. It's also highly unlikely the particle will not lose its entangled state due to the interference from the BH accretion disk.

hoola Posted June 7, 2023 Author Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) oh yes, this is a thought experiment only, and realize a physical test is probably impossible...thanks. What about a light cone barrier. If one particle was carried out of the light cone from it's partner, would that theoretically disable entanglement?

Mordred Posted June 7, 2023 Share Posted June 7, 2023 Light cone barrier? A light cone doesn't involve its own signals. In the case of the EH the particle undergoes a wide range of inference. Prime example being the gamma ray accretion jets that result from infalling matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pzkpfw Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 From Mordred: "When one particle changes state it does not cause the other to change state. You can merely make predictions of state of the other particle by measuring the state of one of the pairs." Say you have two marbles and you know one is Blue and one is Red. You randomly get one and without looking at it - chuck it in that black hole, or send it far away in a rocket. Later you look at the marble you still have. If it's Red you instantly know the one in the black hole, or far away, is Blue. You didn't instantly make the other marble Blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoola Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 (edited) I am proposing entangling the two balls in proximity, then moving ball 2 beyond ball one's light cone before measuring ball one. Edited June 8, 2023 by hoola Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genady Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 As long as the particles are entangled, results of their measurements are correlated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoola Posted June 8, 2023 Author Share Posted June 8, 2023 If the particles are entangled in this universe, that seems to hold, but what if one particle is somehow sent to an Everettian style other universe? Would that not defeat any possibility of correlation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mordred Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Typically entanglement will involve a particle to particle interaction the most common method is particle pair creation such as through parametric down conversion using a beam splitter for photons. The probability correlation function can then be determined by applying the various conservation laws such as conservation of charge, energy momentum, lepton number, isospin, color, flavor etc. Entanglement can be used in communication for cryptology. However no communication exceeds c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A ship can’t move at c. What is this “entanglement communication device”? If it involves sending photons, then the signals arrive at the same time.

Mordred Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 The signal will never exceed c there is no ftl communication entangled or not. Hence why entanglement for communication is only practical for encryption. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MigL Posted June 8, 2023 Share Posted June 8, 2023 Back to the OP. In the 70s S Hawking proposed Hoola's mechanism as the source of Hawking Radiation, but it was found to violate a QM rule about information loss. Not transfer, mind you, but loss of information about states of infalling particles, which is certainly a 'measure' of entanglement. "It is now generally believed that information is preserved in black-hole evaporation.[5][6] This means that the predictions of quantum mechanics are correct whereas Hawking's original argument that relied on general relativity must be corrected. However, views differ as to how, precisely, Hawking's calculation should be corrected.[5][6][7][8] In recent years, several extensions of the original paradox have been explored. Taken together these puzzles about black hole evaporation have implications for how gravity and quantum mechanics must be combined, leading to the information paradox remaining an active field of research within quantum gravity."
