    To my post on The EPR paradox (Sorry folks I made a
    typo mistake - it was Podolshi not Polsudski - I was
    mixing the Scientist with a Pre-WWII Polish
    politician)

    Steve asked

    >Are you on about entanglement here, or is this
    >something else?

    Yes, it is entanglement.  One thing which is
    surprising in entanglement is that all particles
    created at the time of the Big Bang *were* entangled.
    Thus the universe as a whole is one single FTL
    communication system.

    I was aware that the there were plans for using
    entanglement for simple calculations I did not know
    that they had proceeded.

    Regarding the teleportation approach, have a look at

    D. Boschi, S. Branca, F. De Martini, L. Hardy and S.
    Popescu: "Experimental Realization of Teleporting an
    Unknown Pure Quantum State via Dual Classical and
    Einstein-Podolski-Rosen Channels",
    submitted to Physical Review Letters, Los Alamos
    preprint archive quant-ph/9710013.

    Just sorry i can’t give you a reference. It was on the lines of one plus
    one. Not exactly a pc or a mac, but you have to start somewhere. As
    Francesca has said, i will add your reading to the list that is slowly
    piling up beside me. One thing i would add is that although all the
    particles created at the big bang are entangled, finding the pairs could
    pose a problem.

    regards

    Steve
