EINSTEIN'S QUANTUM RIDDLE
WEDNESDAY, MARCH 29, 8 PM

Einstein called it "spooky action at a distance," but today, quantum entanglement is poised to revolutionize technology from computers to cryptography. Physicists have gradually become convinced that the phenomenon — two subatomic particles that mirror changes in each other instantaneously over any distance — is real. But a few doubts remain. NOVA follows a ground-breaking experiment in the Canary Islands to use quasars at opposite ends of the universe to once and for all settle the remaining questions.
