The work that has been done by the scientific community over the past 50 years, moving from simply using quantum physics to understand nature to designing it, has finally been rewarded. Entangled states are the basis of the coming quantum information and technology that has already borne its first fruits.

Quantum entanglement means that multiple particles are bound together in such a way that the measurement of the quantum state of one particle determines the possible quantum states of the other particles. This connection does not depend on the location of the particles in space; it is independent of the distance between them. Even if the distance separating the entangled particles is billions of miles, a change in one particle of the particles will induce a change in the other. It's fascinating.
