Subject: An image taken with quantum entangled photons - of a cat

When two separate particles are entangled, measurements of their physical properties are correlated, and they effectively share a single quantum state. To , the researchers created yellow and red pairs of entangled photons. The yellow photons were fired at the cat stencil, while the red photons were sent to the camera. Thanks to their entanglement, the red photons formed the image of the cat because of the quantum link to their yellow twins. The silicon stencil was transparent to red light and the camera could only detect red light. This demonstrates that the technique can image objects that are invisible to the detected photons.

They still don’t inform us of the state of aliveness of the cat.

Were any cats hurt during the making of this film ?

They are unsure.
