Abstract: For decades, physicists have conducted experimental tests of quantum entanglement, a phenomenon that Albert Einstein once dismissed as "spooky action at a distance." Despite Einstein's misgivings, the experiments have consistently found results compatible with quantum theory; today entanglement is at the heart of next-generation devices like quantum computers and quantum encryption.
