... "This is a wonderful example of the extent to which our intuition fails us when we try to get an idea of how processes occur at the microscopic level," says Volz.
"However, this is much more than just a curiosity," adds Rauschenbeutel. "Indeed, the photon pairs generated are quantum mechanically entangled. So there is the spooky action at a distance between the two photons that Einstein didn't want to believe in and thanks to which one can teleport quantum states, for example." "That a single atom is ideally suited as a source for such entangled photon pairs," Volz and Rauschenbeutel agree, "is something hardly anyone would have believed until recently."...
