Proposed demonstration of the Einstein-Poldosky-Rosen paradox using trapped electrons

  • 1. Centro de Fisica de Plasmas, Instituto Superior Tecnico, P-1096 Lisbon Codex (Portugal)

Description

Correlations of the type discussed by Einstein, Poldosky, and Rosen in their original 1935 paradox may be generated between the positions and the momenta of two electrons confined in two spatially separated Penning traps when they are allowed to be coupled for a certain time interval. An experimental demonstration of the paradox could be done using the accurate techniques of manipulation and measurement of confined charged particles. The basic ideas presented in this paper might be extended in order to enable quantum information transfer of continuous variables between massive particles
