The new work of scientists indicates the ability of the eyes to track one electromagnetic quantum.
Physicists from Austria, USA and great Britain proved the ability of the human eye to directly observe a single photon. A study published in the journal Nature Communications.
Scientists have developed a light source that emits pairs of correlated photons. One of them was headed for the human eye, and the other on a highly sensitive camera.
During 30767 testing each of the participants were asked to identify which of the two stimulations (first or second) contained a single photon. Scientists have discovered that the average probability for each of the participants to notice a single photon in most cases were significantly above 50%.
Studies conducted in the 1940-ies, showed that people are able to watch five to seven photons. The new work of scientists indicates the ability of the eyes to track one electromagnetic quantum.
In quantum mechanics when removing entangled (correlated) particles from each other they retain information about your partner. These particles violate the principle of locality, in which the state of an object is influenced only by his inner circle.
