Not that anyone didn’t know that or doubted that before.

As a layperson, could quantum entanglement be used to create a long distance communication device? Influencing the spin of the particles to be used like binary? I imagine synchronized particles between devices transferring data.

Duh, anyone with a lick of common sense would know this

Well yeah, obviously.
If a hair iron can detangle and straighten hair with heat, it can obviously do it for quantum physics.
Duh!

I thought we already knew this? Isn’t this why current quantum computers require advanced refrigeration?

This just in: new evidence shows water bad for electronics!

>Researchers had previously observed hints of this behavior and dubbed it the “sudden death” of entanglement. But their evidence was mostly indirect. **The new finding establishes a much stronger limit on entanglement in a mathematically rigorous way.**
A non-rigorous definition, which they’ve now proven mathematically, is that at a certain limit the magical invisible spooky connections between two separated atoms breaks completely, permanently. Whatever the quantum force actually is, it stops working when too much energy is applied and has to be rebuilt. This implies that the original entanglement process is special to the force’s application itself, which is unlike comparable invisible forces such as radio waves. It also implies that there is an actual hidden force field involved, more or less in the same way Eienstein proposed but couldn’t prove. That is what makes this discovery meaningful.
The idea of a unique, particle-specific force field that can somehow discriminate between individual particles of a same type is a very novel idea. It also implies that, at very high inertia (such as the forces encountered inside a black hole) that the quantum field breaks and stops existing. Which means the highest inertia particles, light, could have it’s quantum properties modified or engineered if enough heat is applied to it. The idea of applying heat to light (or, radioactive emissions) doesn’t make much sense outside of nuclear chemistry, which is where most of the math they’ve discovered will be used. We can build better nuclear weapons with this.
Taken to it’s logical conclusion, this exposes the limits of using light as the universal constant. It will have to be replaced with a better, simpler object whose quantum fields are better understood. IMO, and this is strictly speculation on my part, it will eventually have to be a geometric form that doesn’t exist in our 3D realm outside of quantum-ity expressed as radioactivity. Which is why the math here is enormously important, because that geometric model would be built from this math.
