You fail to make an important distinction:        1) The entanglement occurs in the simple unitary time-evolution        of coupled quantum states.        2) Violation of Bell's equality (or spooky action at a distance)        only occurs if you believe in non-unitary projection operators        playing a role in measurements. (Basically the "collapse" of        the wave function.)              So you should not blindly group the 3 things you mention together.              If you avoid the assumption of wave function collapse (or other       disguises of non-unitary behavior) then you still *do* have       entanglement, but you do not have violation of Bell's inequality.              --       Jos              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
