Kok, P. (2010). Quantum optics: Entangled photons report for duty. Nat. Photon., 4(8), 504–505.
Abstract: Entangled photons are a key ingredient in optical quantum technologies, but researchers have so far been unable to produce a single pair of entangled photons. Now, two groups from China and Austria independently report just that, with a technique that avoids the need to infer entanglement from detection signatures.
