Quantum Entanglement Just Put the Standard Model to a New Test
Published 3 weeks, 2 days ago
Description
Scientists from the BESIII Collaboration have used quantum entanglement to perform a new test of the Standard Model.
By studying decaying Lambda hyperons, they precisely measured how often a strange quark transforms into an up quark, providing a new test of the CKM matrix. The results agree with theory and revive a technique that could reveal cracks in our current understanding of particle physics.
