Insider Brief The team’s new approach avoids starting with pre-entangled pairs or performing Bell-state measurements, relying instead on the indistinguishability of photon paths. An AI tool called PyTheus, originally tasked with reproducing established entanglement-swapping protocols, unexpectedly revealed a simpler method to entangle independent photons. This discovery reduces complexity in quantum Read more…
