Aspect's experiment
Aspect's experiment was a groundbreaking test of quantum physics conducted in France during the 1980s. It examined whether particles like photons could be interconnected in a way that instantly influences each other, no matter the distance—a phenomenon called entanglement. Researchers generated pairs of entangled photons and sent them to separate detectors far apart. They then measured their properties independently. The results supported quantum mechanics predictions, showing that these particles are linked in ways classical physics can't explain, and that this connection appears to happen faster than the speed of light. This experiment helped confirm the strange but fundamental nature of quantum entanglement.
