    Entanglement conveys no information. The sources of this pop article seem not to know that. Saplakoglu writes:


    It just doesn't work like this. A pair of particles unmeasured are not meaningfully in any state at all. If measured, they're not entangled.

    Some logical fails follow:


    No, it is not at all like placing 100 coins with 50/50 mix. That implies a measurement already taken. It's more like having 100 unknown coins and measuring 99 of them gives zero clue as to what the last one will be.  Entanglement is like slicing 100 coins in half and sending the 100 halves to Pluto.  Now if you count the halves here on Earth, you know what the Pluto guy will count if he ever looks at them. Nevertheless, the Pluto guy will have no idea what the last one will be if he hasn't received a message from Earth about the expected totals.
    I'm saying that either this 'Vuletić and his team' are complete fools, or their suggestions are being completely misrepresented by this Saplakoglu pop-science article writer.
     

    What I suspect is going on is having 50 coins split in half and all put on the table. Then, without measuring any of them, you know ahead of time that it's a 50/50 split. Nobody is carrying any of the coins elsewhere, and somehow having them entangled in pairs like that makes some kind of measurement more stable on average, thus allowing construction of a better clock.  I'm guessing. The author of the article doesn't seem to comprehend the concepts involved.

    Once I have the picture of coins in my head I cannot rid myself of the coin midway  ( on it's edge) ( a third state )in my minds eye. I then have to rid myself of this by trying to imagine a coin of infinite thinness.  In a cashless universe what will physicists of the future use?  Is there anything better than coins to demonstrate such concepts., or am I stuck with one always on edge?  The author of the article doesn't seem to comprehend the concepts involved either, but he does enjoy trying ;)
