Haha sweet. Did anyone figure out how to reactivate the entanglement? Last I knew triggering it broke the quantum entanglement.

Now that they can do 3's I wonder if the third could be used to reactivate the entanglement on the other two somehow. That would enable quantum radios and later quantum internet.

EDIT2: I called matched pairs of quantum communication devices quantum radios because one is sort of a broadcaster and the other a receiver. I made it up and agree it's not a the best choice of term. I think we should call them Zagfllelligons, surely that will catch on. It IS closer to spelling Zap Brannigans after all, Kif.

EDIT:

It seems it's come a long way since I last read about it. What I poorly described above are known as Quantum transfer and Quantum Repeaters. I think when I last read about Quantum entanglements, they had just figured out quantum transfer and I thought hey this would be great if they had linked sets of 3 instead of linked pairs because with 3, one could be a control for the other two somehow if that's doable and transfer the entanglement state back once it's broken by triggering the link. I don't kniow how Quantum entanglements actually work with all the math, I just know the basic form and some of the potential applications.

EDIT3: I also thought I remembered another discovery that tied these together somehow more clearly, but that may be me remembering learning about Quantum Transfer shortly after it was published a while back.
