Who Said Science Fiction Only Exists in  Movies? A  Group of  Scientists Has Achieved a Star  Trek-worthy Milestone: Building the  First Quantum Entanglement-Powered Engine. By What?
Yes, you read that right.  This strange, magical property of physics  is now  serving as  the "fuel" to generate mechanical  motion. We may not be ready  to see spaceships  crossing galaxies or flying cars (which we would  like to see soon), but this  advancement brings us  one step closer to  the future we imagined as children. And yes,  it is real, even if it seems like something  straight out of a  sci-fi episode. Come and  show us!
What is quantum entanglement and how does it  work? Let's start by explaining what this concept is,  namely that quantum entanglement is like a superpower that  some very, very small particles  possess. Imagine that you have two magic balls that are always connected, even if you put them millions of  kilometers apart. If you touch one of the balls and make it change  color, the other ball will change to the same  color at the same time,  like magic.  It's like they have a secret that only they understand and can  communicate with each  other, despite the distance that separates them. Scientists  don't know exactly how they do it, but they know that it works, and they are learning to use  this superpower to create incredible things,  like quantum  engines or  ultra-fast computers.  Isn't it wonderful?
And yes, this word has been  associated with technology for years, now they are taking advantage of the properties of quantum mechanics to induce movements. And if this word has been  associated with technology for years, now they  take advantage of the properties of quantum mechanics to induce  movements.
It is still a very new technology that is just beginning to develop, but there are already two types of  motors.
Tell me about the first quantum  motor. Last year, scientists at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology developed a motor that took advantage of this interaction between fermions and Bose-Einstein condensates.  Don't worry,  I will explain. This  fusion created energy  by replacing heat (we know  that's the basic energy of an internal combustion engine, right?), because  that heat was replaced by the  "quantum nature" of the gas particles.  This engine therefore has an efficiency of 25%, which was  a great success for the first time  such a process was  attempted, but which did not make it a useful  engine.
And now? What has  changed? Scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences  are continuing this process and have taken advantage of another  kind of quantum  weirdness, namely entanglement. This is a  condition that occurs when two particles are  superimposed, that is, their information is linked regardless of the distance  between them.  Let's take the example of the two balls  that we explained  earlier. For this experiment, two balls of calcium atoms were  placed in an ion trap. The thermodynamic process that occurred  during the test went from a very calm initial state to a very  perturbed state (You can read the  research results by clicking  here).
What else do we know  from this  study? Zhou Fei, co-author of the study,  said that  this was the first experimental realization of a quantum engine with this type of entanglement, and the result  was very positive. It is true that science takes  time and this process is also classified as a four-step process. First, the atoms absorb photons, then expand,  fuse and finally compress, generating  this energy.
Zhou's team analyzed more than 10,000 experiments with calcium ions to see which of all the  compounds improved mechanical  efficiency.
Time and investment in  research and development will be responsible for answering  the question of whether these connections will  actually be useful for the engines of our future vehicles, however,  for now we can wait and  marvel at the wonder of the world of  science.
