The optics are just the medium through which the qubits are entangled, the interesting part isn't the lasers but the interaction between physically-separated qubits.
You could theoretically accomplish the same thing by physically bonking the qubits together so that they interact via nuclear forces instead of the electromagnetic field, like they did with entire molecules at Durham University a few weeks back: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/world-first-quantum-entanglement-of-molecules-at-92-fidelity-uk-achieves-magic/ar-AA1xfHI9
