Guest guest Posted August 22, 2006 Report Share Posted August 22, 2006 " Research into the world of quantum mechanics has found that it is possible to have negative knowledge. In the quantum realm of atoms, molecules and electrons objects behave quite differently than larger objects, obeying the laws of quantum mechanics, and it has been found it is possible to have negative information. Dr Jonathan Oppenheim, of the University of Cambridge, said: 'In the quantum world, we can know too much and it is in these situations where one finds negative knowledge.' " In the quantum world, there are things we cannot know, such as the exact position and momentum of a small particle. There can also be situations where someone knows more than everything. This is known as quantum entanglement and when two people share entanglement, there can be negative information. Dr Michal Horodecki, of the University of Gdansk, tried to make the case clearer by saying: 'We can quantify information in terms of how much stuff I need to send you before you get to know something. In the case of negative quantum information, you can get to know something without me sending you any quantum particles. In fact, you will gain the potential to learn more quantum information in the future.' " By understanding that quantum information can be negative, researchers hope to gain deeper insights into phenomena such as quantum teleportation and computation, as well as the very structure of the quantum world. Negative information is due to exotic features of quantum information theory, an exciting new area of physics. In quantum computation the bits of classical information, which can only be in a state of 0 or 1, are replaced by 'qubits', which are quantum particles like electrons or atoms and can be both in the 0 or 1 state at the same time. " The research by Dr Horodecki, Dr Oppenheim and the University of Bristol's Dr Andreas Winter was published in the journal Nature.
