Quantum 'yin-yang' shows two photons being entangled in real-time::The stunning experiment, which reconstructs the properties of entangled photons from a 2D interference pattern, could be used to design faster quantum computers.

that’s fucking beautiful, I don’t get it, but damn, that sounds and looks incredibly impressive.
- The symbol was induced by using a pump in that shape. The yin-yang arrangement is not chance, but rather man-made.
  
  Looks cool but the spirituality grifters shoving "quantum" in the middle of their bulshit are going to go wild with this.
  
  edit: cancel that. i’m an idiot
How does it look exactly like the Yin Yang symbol ☯️? That's a human construct as far as I'm aware.
- They Introduced this symbol into the "pump beam" used in order to illustrate this technique's ability to resolve images.
- It’s quite simple really—the ascended masters operate on both the micro and macro levels of existence. /s
- Shit, it’s the “is anything real” guy. Party’s over, go home.
  
  Tone is difficult to convey on the internet without sounding incredibly unnatural, I took it to mean "how did they do that" instead of what I assume you read as "this is fake".
This is a garbage article. They are claiming this is an image of two entangled photons. That's absolute nonsense. I don't WTF this experiment is, but it certainly isn't a photo of photons.
- did you read it?
  this is a collection of a lot of images
  
  Yes, I read it, then I read the article they sourced, and then I read the paper itself.
This is also the basics of quantum communications.
- No spooky action at a distance
- Not really. In order to find the wave function you need to measure both particles and compare both sets of superposition info to know that the particles were entangled. The information sharing between Alice and Bob would still have to be through standard means.
