Chapter 19 - Quantum Optics

Portent

Can’t use quantum entanglement and nonlocality, ala a single EPR pair, because no change in measurement base yields a signal. Two pairs looked promising, but even then, quantum randomness thwarts the effort. But what if, what if…you could change the odds. What if, distinguishable versus indistinguishable is locally choosable, but globally incompatible?

Significance

Theory is easy, experiments are hard. Left-brain, right-brain. But bless capitalism, the industrial revolution, and the rise of education and technology. The equipment required to answer the hypotheticals we are converging toward exist, and at reasonable prices. They just have to be put together in the right way.
